> Dear Innovators,
> Reading the 2012 Federal Budget, I am struck at how it positions =
Canada as the world=92s water and resource supplier. Is this all Canada =
really has to offer? Is this politically visionary? Is this the Canada =
that we want? Or is it a narrow-minded, short-term view that enslaves =
Canada to responding to the whims and needs of the real global leaders?
> Canada is so much more to me. We excel at communications, =
collaboration, creativity, service innovation and so much more. We have =
vibrant renewable energy, clean tech and social technology sectors. We =
have a diverse population with connections to the rest of the world that =
we have yet to really leverage. We are smart, productive and capable of =
balancing social and economic imperatives. We are, I think, the best in =
the world at figuring out how to work together and collaborate... Boy, =
you sure wouldn=92t know it in this budget.
> I have three major issues with this budget:

economy

> =20
> The potential of social innovation
> While the rest of the world is actively exploring social innovation =
(see the Compendium on the Civic Economy to get a sense), the feds are =
cautiously hinting at maybe thinking about social finance or social =
impact bonds, but once again, they are not really taking on the real =
issues:
> How do we leverage the spirit of social entrepreneurship?
> How do we enable and create a level playing field for social =
enterprise?
> How do we position Canada as a global solutions provider and export =
our best social innovations?
> Once again the social innovation agenda is being hijacked by social =
finance ideas without addressing the needs of the social entrepreneurs =
that will utilize these tools. As in the Ontario provincial budget, =
everyone wants to talk about money without first talking about the =
solutions and entrepreneurs that will drive the business models that =
create the money.
> Social innovations are emerging in our country all the time. Many of =
them have been picked up by government after they have been proven =
successful. Pathways to Education, Roots of Empathy, RDSP=92s are just a =
sampling of the kind of innovations that have been adopted by government =
but originated in the nonprofit =96 citizen sector.=20
> Yes, finance tools are essential to support social innovation, but so =
are the early supports to social entrepreneurs. If the feds opened up =
their eligibility of all of their business programs to the nonprofit =
social enterprise sector, well, then we could start a conversation. If =
they created a Social Entrepreneurship program that provided salaries =
for a year to support social enterprises (both for nonprofit=92s, =
charities, cooperatives and the self-employed) then we could really =
start positioning Canada for the future.
> As it stands now, federal government wants to be the VC=92s (Venture =
Capitalists) of business=97a place where the market really does =
function=97and it has ignored its responsibility to be the VC for social =
innovation that will be efficient, create jobs/wealth and position =
Canada as a global leader.
> =20
> Citizen Sector drives innovation =96 why is it being squashed?
> This budget proposes that we continue to extract, exploit and sell our =
natural resources as fast as possible. (Isn=92t =91Forest innovation=92 =
code for =91deforestation=92?) While at the same time, we see a clamping =
down on political advocacy and =91foreign donors=92 in our charitable =
sector. This is clearly ideological and is stripping the citizen sector =
of our ability to organize and have voice. This is simply undemocratic.
> I am shocked to see the budget restricting the public consultation and =
environmental review process for resource projects. The length of time =
required to complete these is the amount of time that the citizen sector =
needs to be educated and engaged in what is happening in the world =
around them. The shortening of this work seriously affects the public =
and their ability to have an active and engaged voice in this democratic =
process. Where is our democracy going to?
> But added on top of this, a clamping down on political activities in =
the charitable sector is like creating a giant chill on the voice of =

=91foreign donations=92. I suggest that if they are going to clamp down =

=91foreign investments=92. The irony is not lost.
