Canada. It’s Time. On our country’s birthday, I break my show format to discuss what we need to do as a nation to pursue our future. This future is not a distant dream but a reality we must actively shape, marked by purpose, passion, pursuit, and laddering to prosperity and peace.

I begin the show with my take on Canada and why we need to create a magnetic culture to attract the best and the brightest to stay in Canada and come to Canada to shift from a passive, reactive and negative mindset to one brimming with ambition and destiny.

Next, we hear from two outstanding Canadians who offer their unique perspectives: John Ruffolo, a leading figure as the founder of Maverick Private Equity and a catalyst for positive change in shaping Canada’s new Economy, and John Stackhouse, who heads RBC’s Economics and Thought Leadership group, influencing the organization’s work on economic, technological, and social issues.

Each offers powerful and profound thoughts on creating the opportunities and standard of living that we need, want and deserve.  

This episode is a must-listen for anyone deeply invested in Canada and its future—and the future of all democracies. It is not only easy to listen to, but it also discusses, shares, and explores a wealth of topics.

Happy Birthday, Canada. It’s time to unwrap our future.
