The Chinese will surpass everyone in no time. Beijing has a horrible rep for pollution but they've introduced some of the most environmentally friendly transit systems in the world.
They are innovative and DON'T JUST SIT AROUND SMELLING THE ROSES. They plan for the future and understand how important it is to have a leg up on your competition.
If the councillors of Halifax actually cared, this city could be a power house. Beautiful natural scenery, a good port, great universities.. All of this business going to Moncton and other cities would probably be coming here if they actually made an effort to cater to business people.
I look at a place like Membertou, the native reserve outside of Sydney. That place was a SHITHOLE. An absolute DUMP 10 years ago... And then they brought in a few smart business leaders (Terry Paul, Bern Christmas) and the place took off. Honest to god, you want to see development in NS.. go to Membertou. Beautiful new buildings popping up every month. Lots of jobs for the natives. It's incredible. All it took was leadership from a few guys with BUSINESS connections and BUSINESS smarts. They have private financing from all kinds of large investment firms.. they're ISO certfied.. It's incredible.
STOP ELECTING LAWYERS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJORS. ELECT BUSINESSMEN.
