Ipsos Reid polls reveal what Canadians really thinkovbusiness.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Ottawa... · Sutton that most bosses wanted a lot more than just a jerk-free workplace.

By: Ipsos Reid

Some new polls by Ipsos Reid reveal what people think about buying Canadian products, and the influx of immigration.

Buy Canadian A new Ipsos survey conducted on behalf of Kruger Products reveals that if there are two grocery products on the same shelf of equal quality and similar price, 83 per cent of Canadians would be more likely to select the Canadian-made product over its American counterpart. 15 per cent claim that it would make no difference where the brand is manufactured. Pocketbook patriotism is stron-gest in British Columbia (90%) and Ontario (88%) and weaker in Quebec (78%), Alberta (77%), Atlantic Canada (72%) and Sas-katchewan and Manitoba (70%). The propensity to buy Canadian also increases with age. 92 per cent of baby boomers (55+) would be more likely to buy Canadian, compared to 83 per cent of gen xers (35-54) and 68 per cent of millennials (18-34). In fact, Millennials are nearly four times as likely, compared

to boomers, and nearly twice as likely, compared to gen xers to express indifference when it comes to buying Canadian. Given the recent strain in eco-nomic relations between Canada and the US, the results of this survey should put many Canadi-an companies, and consumers for that matter, at ease. The appetite for buying Canadian brands and products has become markedly higher recently, with around 62 per cent indicating that they would be more likely to buy Canadian. This sentiment is the strongest in Ontario (71%) by more than 11 per cent over any other province. Additionally, 73 per cent of boomers claim that

their appetite to buy Canadian has increased over the past few months, with 61 per cent of gen xers and 48 per cent of millenni-als feeling the same. However, equally as many millennials are unchanged (48%) in their tendency to buy Canadian as said they would be more likely to buy Canadian (48%) compared to a few months ago, thus further underscoring this cohort’s rela-tive indifference when it comes to buying Canadian.

Immigration Against the backdrop of more frequent conversations about policy regarding immigra-tion and migration to Canada, analysis of current and historical

public opinion data by the Angus Reid Institute finds that half of Canadians would prefer to see the federal government’s current immigration targets of 310,000 new permanent residents for 2018 decreased. Canadians are generally posi-tive about the economic benefits of immigration. This analysis finds that over the course of 40 years, the number of Canadians saying immigration is either at the right level or should be increased has remained above 50 per cent, even as immigration levels have consistently risen. Over the same period of time, the number saying immigration levels should be decreased has fluctuated within the 40 to 50 per cent range. The most recent data reveals a notable change, however. As immigration targets have risen from 260,000 to 310,000 between 2014 and 2018, so too have the number of people saying there should be fewer im-migrants to Canada: 36 per cent said this in 2014 while 49 per cent say it now.

Book Club

Stanford Professor Robert Sutton weaves together the best psychological and management research with compelling stories and cases to reveal the mind-set and moves of the best (and worst) bosses. This book was inspired by the deluge of emails, research, phone calls, and con-versations that Dr. Sutton expe-rienced after publishing “The No Asshole Rule.” He realized that most of these stories and studies swirled around a central figure in every workplace: the boss. These heart-breaking, inspiring, and sometimes funny stories taught Sutton that most bosses wanted a lot more than just a jerk-free workplace. They aspired to become an all-around great boss, somebody with the skill and grit to inspire superior work, com-mitment, and dignity. As Dr. Sutton digs into what the best (and worst) bosses do, a theme runs throughout the book which brings together the diverse lessons and is a hallmark of great bosses: they work doggedly to “stay in tune” with how their fol-lowers react to what they say and do.The best bosses are acutely aware that their success depends on having the self-awareness to control their moods and moves, to accurately interpret their impact on others, and to make adjustments on the fly that con-tinuously spark effort, dignity, and pride among their people.

A New Player In Craft AlcoholThe latest innovative food manufacturer

It seems everyone is getting into the craft alcohol business. An Almonte business is hoping to turn the leftovers from milk, yes milk, into an alcoholic bever-age. Whey and milk permeate, the byproducts of the process of making cheese, yogurt and but-ter, are often thrown away, but Omid McDonald, founder and CEO of Dairy Distillery, thinks something can be made from that waste - vodka. Currently, Cana-dian law only allows vodka to be made from grain or potatoes, so McDonald is calling his product “Vodcow.” Dairy Distillery worked with a group at the University of Ottawa’s biology department to develop a process for creating alcohol out of the milk’s sugar, using a different kind of yeast. The production process takes about two weeks and the com-pany Vodcow will be in retail for October. Dairy Distillery describes the process on their website. Milk from 3,500 Ontario dairy farms is sent to large processors where the cream is removed to make butter and the proteins concen-trated to make ultrafiltered milk used by cheese and yogurt mak-ers. When making ultrafiltered milk, a sugar rich liquid called milk permeate is produced.

That permeate, which is usually discarded, is what will be used to make Vodcow. The distillery hopes to process two million litres of permeate per year, sourced from Parmalat in Winchester. That will help them produce a target of 200,000 litres of Vodcow per year. The vodka market in Canada is 50 million litres per year, according to McDonald. Their packaging will be milk bottles! Dairy Distillery is in good company in Almonte which is al-ready home to creative start-ups including Hummingbird Choco-

late, Equator Coffee Roasters and Healthy Food Technologies. Read more about the distillery at: www.dairydistillery.com

Petawawa Considering

Options To Recoup Council Pay Losses

Currently, members of coun-cil receive one-third of their remuneration tax-free as adopted each year. With the passing of the 2017 federal budget, it was announced that the one-third tax free exemption for mu-nicipal elected officials would be eliminated beginning 2019. In Petawawa, the removal of the one-third tax free exemption will result in additional costs in-curred for CPP and EHT as well as the loss of the HST benefit for the tax-exempt portion. It is estimated the removal of the one-third tax exemption will cost the municipality approximately $10,108.00 based on 2018 fig-ures. To offset the losses there is the option for council to increase their own pay so that the net pay after deductions would be the same as what council is receiv-ing now. This option will cost

the municipality an additional $36,163.00. Council will discuss and decide the matter during 2019 budget deliberations.New Business in PembrokeChurch Street Flowers has opened in Downtown Pembroke. The business, owned by Tarwyn Lane and Pam McNicol will open in McNicol’s Chahna Fai store at 205 Church Street. A grand opening is being held on August 30.

Smiths Falls Facade Improvement Grant

The Town of Smiths Falls is recommending a facade and landscape improvement grant be awarded to Alexis Officer of Art & Science Physiotherapy for the property located at 8-12 Main Street. Officer plans to restore the building’s original heritage characteristics.

Mayors Against Pot In Certain Locations

Perth Mayor, John Fenik, is con-cerned that Perth might become a “wild west pot emporium” with the government’s new marijuana

sales system, according to an interview with the Ottawa Citi-zen. Fenik doesn’t want stores to open in Downtown Perth. With Tweed, Canopy Growth’s plant in Smiths Falls just next door, Fenik does support legalization of the drug. In Bonnechere Val-ley, Mayor Jennifer Murphy says council has not had time to dis-cuss the issue. Murphy doesn’t want the retailers near schools or libraries.

Petawawa Bid Award Goes Sour

The Town of Petawawa coun-cil approved an RFQ for three pick-up trucks to Dilawri Auto Group of Ottawa. The quote was $6,000 less than Butler Chevro-let, a local dealership. Dilawri Auto Group was notified on March 6, 2018 that their firm was the successful bidder for the RFQ. Dilawri delivered three (3) pick-up trucks to the Public Works yard on June 5, 2018 a month past the delivery date of May 1, 2018 as quoted in their RFQ package. Upon inspection

by staff, the trucks had several deficiencies including colour, no winter tires or spare rims, among other items. Despite the efforts of staff and legal counsel, Dilawri Auto Group has failed to deliver the appropriate trucks as specified in the RFQ docu-ment. Staff is recommending that Council rescinds the resolution that awarded the RFQ to DilawriAuto Group. A new RFQ document will be prepared and released for public consumption.

By: Jennifer [email protected] There are two parts to the game of golf - the long game and the short game. The long game is comprised of the longer shots - drivers, woods, hybrids and long irons. The short game is comprised of the shorter shots - wedges, chipping and putting. When you play golf, 75 per cent of your shots will come from the short game. So, if your goal is to improve your golf game, you would, strategically, work on your short game because that would give you practice at 75 per cent of the entire game. But most golfers who “practice” will spend nearly all their time on their long game - the 25 per cent part of the game. Why? Most golfers get more personal pleasure from hitting the ball a long distance than hitting the ball a short distance, and they only want to practice what they enjoy. There are many parallels between golf and marketing. In marketing, many business own-ers want that instant gratification

of a lot of shares on Facebook or a lot of likes or a re-tweet, etc. These are things that, like a long drive on the first tee, you can boast about to your friends. This is the 25 per cent. The less flamboyant 75 per cent is what is going to allow you to win. You have to decide if you want to compete in business, or if you just want to have some fun here and there and you don’t mind if someone else always wins. First, there is no right or wrong answer in that decision. There is nothing at all wrong with not wanting to be the best in the field. It’s your business - make it what you want. If, however, you do want to be the competitor, and you do want to compete to be the best in the field, then here are some ways you can do that. 1. Have a plan. Every profes-sional golfer, and every busi-nessperson, needs to have a plan on how they are going to compete. You need to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses? What do you do well and what do you need to improve? Many business owners find this to be unexciting, but without a plan, you’re just hop-ing things go your way. 2. Focus on the things you do every day. A good marketing strategy takes in all aspects of your business, including “small”

things you might overlook. You answer the phone or email every single day - are you doing that the best way? If that sounds absurd, think about this: do you leave someone on hold for a long time? Do you take a week to respond to your email? Did you forget to take your vacation alert off the phone? If you drop the ball with the customer at this point, it won’t matter what you do everywhere else. 3. Pick a target and market to them. You cannot market to every customer with one ad or post in any sort of effective way. We are so far beyond a one-size-fits-all society; you need to strike this thinking from your mind if you still adhere to it. If you have five different types of customers, you need a strategy for each one or else you will not reach any of them in a meaningful way. If you want to compete, you need a good strategy and you need to pay attention to things that might not be big and bold and shared and liked, because the flashy things don’t come along every day. It’s the solid work that often goes unnoticed that is go-ing to get you into the winner’s circle.
