I was at the CABC Forum on Competitiveness today. One of the speakers provided an analogy to describe what it felt like to be in the wine industry after the elimination of a lot of the protectionisms. It was something simillar to:
It felt like being in a dark alley and suddenly being chased by a guy with a knife. But we found out we could really run.
Pretty good (and funny) analogy.
The forum didn’t go to deep into any of the issues but I did get free breakfast; so there was that.
