Summary
A TD Economics report warns Canada is experiencing a 'brain drain' as highly skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and STEM graduates increasingly move to the United States. Francis Fong, managing director at TD Economics, attributes this trend to Canada's tax structure, productivity challenges, and lack of business scale compared to stronger economic opportunities and tech recruitment in the U.S. The report highlights concerns about Canada's ability to retain top talent amid weaker competitiveness.
