I hope the Harper Government is listening to this! I don't see much else in the Canadian news in general about this lack of innovation issue which probably means that the country is a long way off of to facing its problems and dealing with them... If you look at the top brands in Canada, you'll notice that most are located in the financial sector and are highly mature (read: old) companies. There are some innovative brands among the top (Cirque du Soleil is a perfect example) but they are few and far between! This is really bad news. I hope the Harper Government is listening to this!
