A friend from Taiwan once said "If you have a blanket, you have a shop." In some ways I wish it was the same way here in Canada. In many respects we are overregulated. That said, I wouldn't want to eat a meal cooked from gutter oil.

Is there a healthy balance?

Overregulated is an understatement. Good luck starting a food business with less than $100K in cash...

/agree. I can't imagine wanting to start a restaurant here. It might be easier to rent a wood chipper to throw your savings into.

You'd probably freeze. ;-)

In all seriousness, I have citizenship in CAN and the US. You seem to do alright. I've never tried to open a business, but some of my relatives own businesses. They mostly complain about taxes, and not regulations.

Reminds me of a chicken taco business on a street corner in Cuernavaca. Live chickens on one end, fresh tacos on the other. Very tasty.
