We are living in a time of great prosperity. Unemployment is at a historic low for both the US and Canada. Ontario is seeing its lowest unemployment rate in nearly 20 years. Inflation rates are stable and interest rates continue to be reasonable. With so much prosperity, why do we continue to see an undercurrent of discontent and unhappiness? Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Ep 32 - Does the privacy scandal spell the end of Facebook?

For the first time in a very long time, all three of Canada's leaders are under the age of 50 with two Jagmeet Singh and Andrew Scheer under 40. Does this represent a generational shift in Canadian politics or is it just more of the same? Does the communications approach change to appeal to a younger group of voters? Our podcast panel discusses these issues with special guest Ramiro Mora (https://twitter.com/Ramiro_H_Mora) of cwellconsulting. Note to listeners - this podcast was recorded in the Fall of 2017 and may seem dated but still provides valuable insight on approaches in the federal election. As always we appreciate your comments.
