Progressive nationalism and the fight for Canadian sovereignty

The threat to Canadian sovereignty is real and it demands a renewed analysis and a third wave of progressive nationalism to meet the challenges of the post-globalization era of authoritarian US imperialism. The fight for Canada is the central political issue of our time and it will inevitably unite or divide Canadian labour and social movements.

"Since sectors and frontier #industries will benefit from the combined effect of different #policy actions, the task of measuring what is and isn’t working will be doubly hard. Therefore, it is important that the process of #monitoring allows reasonable time."

Delivering the new industrial strategy will be a huge test for government | Institute for Government

There is much to welcome in the new white paper.

"The #government seems genuinely to care about the #state working well. And, it still has the time – and the parliamentary majority – to make real changes to help it do so. If there was ever a moment for a positive vision for #regulatoryreform that goes beyond a bonfire of the quangos or a chainsaw to #redtape, it is now. "

Regulatory reform: systemic thinking, not tinkering | Institute for Government

The government’s aspirations to streamline regulation cannot be achieved piecemeal.

Surprise, surprise.
This is not an industrial strategy.
Whatever it is, it isn't fit for the coming era of energy descent and ecosystem collapse.

Lower energy costs part of government's 10-year plan for industry

Plans to slash energy bills by up to 25% for over 7,000 UK businesses will be announced alongside other plans to boost growth.

Writing in the FT, Keir Starmer pitches (ahead of today's announcement) Labour's new ten year industrial strategy.... and what word is conspicuously absent? Europe...

He mentions the advantages of three new trade deals the Govt. has concluded, but not the minuscule benefits compared to the loss of easy access to the EU's single market.

A really strong industrial strategy would start with re-establishing friction-free access to the massive market next door!

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayJun 23

Today's announcement of Labour's ten year industrial strategy will include money to lower energy costs for (some) energy intensive industries, leaving many sectors (especially retail & hospitality) still paying higher prices than across Europe.

But, little help has yet been offered to consumers whose problems with high energy prices are as pressing as industry's.

So, first conclusion might be the UK's new industrial policy is focussed on supporting energy firms?
