Small Business

If you and I were to right now sing a song praising BC small businesses, we'd have some challenges. "Comprising 90 per cent of BC's economy," is a devilish line to rhyme, for one. A motivated BC small business might end its next stanza "Deuteronomy" or "taxonomy," but few melodies can bear weight like that. Also, they're very little about BC small business. Perhaps it's better to go with something like "From BC's towering pines to her damp fields of agronomy." Perhaps not. However entrepreneurial the melody or economic the harmony, keep company with BCBusiness for its signature mix of reporting and commentary on small business in BC.
