Rick Spence writes in the Financial Post that Canada needs to focus on entrepreneurship education to rebuild their economy:
[If Finance Minister] Mr. Flaherty is serious about getting Canadians to take responsibility for their financial futures, he would instead focus on entrepreneurship education. The days when the banks, the post office or General Motors hire for life are gone. People have to get used to the notion they must create their own jobs — probably many times — throughout their working lives. They have to understand entrepreneurship isn’t some hopeless last, desperate resort. It’s a lifestyle of hope, empowerment and accomplishment. The accelerating pace of change today — economic, technological and demographic — is spinning off countless new business opportunities, if people can only be encouraged to see them.
