I didn't find this particularly convincing. The examples seem to be that government intervention in (consumer) healthcare and agriculture causes stagnation, with the implication that this extends to other industries.

But healthcare & agriculture are unique industries that are regulated very differently than other industries in canada. I don't expect these industries to be cut throat. I'd rather have stability in those sectors and leave the innovation to other sectors. Regardless of your view on that point though, i fail to see how the example generalizes.
