I have a diploma in Non-Destructive Testing from CNA, & I’m better versed in economics than you.

Don’t look down your nose at those of us who don’t have Ph.Ds, we’re not the ignorant rubes you think we are. https://twitter.com/drlorileeoates/status/1316027472140333058

You constantly display an astounding lack of understanding regarding local economics as the opinions you pen for the CBC show.

I highly recommend some books by Milton Friedman, Von Mises, Ron Paul & Murray Rothbard, all of which I’d happy to lend you.

Our situation is much harder to fix than you believe, it will take significant time to change the entrenched political & bureaucratic culture of #nlpoli , remove barriers to prosperity, & reverse the outmigration & properly diversify our economy.

You can’t just rely on green jobs to save the day, I’m sorry, it sounds wonderful in theory, but in reality, it’s not easy at all to achieve. We need a diverse economy, which does include primary resource extraction, to adequately safeguard us from economic hardship.
