Love this.
To paraphrase Simon Sinek in more political terms —“People don’t vote for you on what you do, but why you do it”.
This feels especially relevant when analyzing the Trudeau government’s recent announcement of a GST holiday and rebate cheque.

While it would be nice to see some courage from policymakers in engaging Canadians on productivity and its importance to our prosperity, I explain why we probably shouldn't hold our breath. #cdnmedi #cdnecon #cdnpoli

Dropping another one of my recent articles to help anyone who sees this profile decide if I'm worth a follow. Because self-reflection is important, especially if you work in PR or comms.
