Due to US tariffs, Canada is likely to begin experiencing the economic shock that will bring about a recession this week. Before this latest hit, the economic landscape was already pessimistic for Canada. Many of EME’s clients, small builders and developers, were already facing extreme economic hardships due to relatively high inflation and high interest rates. A quote from the 1996 film “Primal Fear” comes to mind. guess what? it’s raining! “
As an employer, here is my challenge:
Over the next six months to a year, the most patriotic act that Canadian small businesses can achieve is doing everything they can to protect their pay. In that trend, we wanted the best, but the worst, EME and I refinanced to do everything in our power to hire people during the storm, even if it meant immersing ourselves in personal savings and infiltrating personal assets. This means putting up with as much as possible, not because it makes economic sense, but because of love for the country and its people.
So I’m sending this challenge to all of the Canadian small businesses that are similarly located. Do everything you can to hire your people!
