I believe there definitely is a CFA problem in Nova Scotia but we also have a if it is from here it can't be good enough problem . I was reminded of that lovely phenomenon as I read Tim Bousquet's request for help in reading the IBM contract with the province.
The SAP product the province has been using for the past few years has received mixed reviews throughout the world. In fact several users have thrown it out because it did not deliver an affordable effective solution including some of the users the government used as reasons to purchase SAP. At the time of this decision there were several software firms in Nova Scotia selling accounting software throughout Canada with great reviews. The attitude from the government seemed to be there was no way that we could produce something to do the job. I used to work in the computer industry and came to know the principals of some of the local firms well, though I never worked directly for them. I benefited from their quality work because what they did made it easier for me to sell my hardware.
I love this place but we need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
The issue is the consumption of non renewable resources. As we acquire and throw away more things we have shifted our spending patterns to have goods shipped from further and further away. We are actually destroying our ability to generate our own wealth because we produce less and less. Check the labels on the products you buy do any say made in Nova Scotia or Canada.
