    How One Pro-Worker Party Seeks to Solve Labor Shortages with Automation

    The Parti Quebecois (PQ) has proposed a new strategy to address the province's labor shortage: robots. This is a departure from the PQ's traditional pro-worker stance, and it has been met with criticism from some quarters. However, the PQ argues that automation is the only way to address the labor shortage in the long term. Charles & David sit down to discuss whether they think these subsidies will work, as well as how this new policy proposal is an indicator of the broader trends against immigration in North America.

    The Rise of Private Label: How Grocery Stores are Winning the Price Wars

    Remember the days when grocery stores battled for the lowest prices on national brands? Those days are fading fast. As dollar stores continue to expand and offer rock-bottom prices on familiar products, grocery stores are adopting a new strategy: private labels. This shift isn't just about offering cheaper alternatives. It's about curation, differentiation, and locking in customer loyalty. By developing unique private label products that can't be found elsewhere, grocery stores are creating a distinct identity and drawing consumers away from the allure of dollar store deals.
