To the GoCapeBreton team, I truly enjoy the site, the thoughts that are shared and the passion people have. The more we as a community explore our voice the more likely it is we can influence the future. I look forward to watching the site develop.

Thanks Joan. I am a big believer that government has a critical role to play in economic development, regionally and nationally. Many people think that government should focus on tax breaks only, but to me that is far from a good strategy. The problem we have is that government decision making has been poor and/or corrupted in many ways, so it is not possible to properly assess initiatives that have been diluted in their execution. Interestingly, the USA (SBIC) financing program that is noted in the article, which supported Apple, Intel, and other companies in their early days, was a program that a group of us tried to pilot in Cape Breton back in 2000, because we researched and recognized back then that it was a winner and we wanted to bring it here and then push it nationally. We were close but did not make it happen ... I write about the backroom details of it in my article, "The Epic History of the Cape Breton Tech Sector."
