Isn't that case everywhere in Yukon / BC? The biggest 5 employers where I live are all public service providers. Any private business, their biggest 5 customers are also all government. Until we drop our love of government, this is what you are going get.
Candocad.
I've given up looking at the Yukon. Too many NIMBYs, econazis, FN obstructionists and not enough infrastructure. All of the major deposits need to have roads built to them and how can that be done in Kanada with protesters just waiting to shut you down AFTER you spend $50 million US on making the discovery?
And any mine will have to be powered by diesel gensets so with C-69 hammering you for carbon offsets it's a non starter.
It's better to go somewhere with better political safety like Russia, Colombia, Mali or the Philippines..........
What? Having 45% of the workforce being government workers? How can that not be sustainable?.....................
I don't know about Yukon, but in BC tag/license fees are general revenue. They are not earmarked specifically for conservation. There is a conservation surcharge that is, but its a small percentage of the overall money spent by hunters on licenses/tags.

One would need to have more than a few screws loose to invest money in this country.
We are spending $66 million US on gold exploration this year. Amount spent of that $66M US in Kanada?

How much of it is being spent in the USA?

but remove the 1st line and see how well the others will do. just the housing market but that will self adjust ...
i do remember all the advices when we moved up here: get a gvt job ...
in fact i will say more 80% as if you cut the top the economy will be hard to survive, let s publish the list of public servant receiving over 100 000 a year ...
And yet its still more than triple what someone makes at minimum wage.
