Brian interviews Jaime Watt. Jaime is the best-selling author of the new book What I Wish I Said, a collection of his most thought-provoking Toronto Star from the past six years... but with a twist. After each column, Jaime responds with what he wishes he'd said. It's a candid and humorous look at recent times and, in this unique collection, Jaime presents fresh political insight and pulls no punches in critiquing his previous opinions and beliefs.

And I have two impressive political commentators to help me celebrate with appropriate topical discussion about where the country is going post the federal election. My two panelists, one an NDPer and the other a Tory, worked together in broadcasting and even though they hold very different political views, have formed a deep friendship. They believe their friendship is a great example of what we need more of, listening to others and friendship across the political divides. As a Liberal I'm honoured to participate. My panelists are: - Marcella Munro is a Principal with McMillan Vantage Policy Group. She is a former journalist and has been working in public affairs and communications strategy and consulting for 15+ years. Marcella worked in NDP political circles, and specifically for the BCNDP and Alberta NDP and as well she worked closely with former Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson.- Tasha Kheiriddin is a principal with Navigator Ltd., Canada's leading high stakes advisory and communications firm. She is the national political columnist for the Postmedia chain of newspapers where she writes weekly on political and current affairs issues.

But will we see a change in Ottawa, or will this election leave us back where we were before? Tasha Kheiriddin, a columnist for the National Post and principal for Navigator LTD, joins Dave Breakenridge to discuss how the leaders fared this race, what the big issues for voters have been, and what's next for the main party leaders come Tuesday.

The election campaign has passed the halfway point, and things are starting to heat up. Leaders squared off in the first French debate, which saw arguments over the snap election call, vaccines and sexual misconduct, and the Liberals unveiled their platform. In the second of our election panels, Tasha Kheiriddin, principal with Navigator LTD and a columnist for the National Post, and Warren Kinsella, president of the Daisy Group and a columnist for the Toronto Sun, join Dave to discuss the first leader's debate, the Liberals' campaign platform, and whether the Grits have to go negative to stem their falling support.

Since they have been introduced, COVID-19 vaccines have been seen as the ticket out of the pandemic. But as the delta variant takes hold in Canada, and second-dose uptake slows, debate has grown around whether we should introduce vaccine passports, as has been done elsewhere. Tasha Kheiriddin, a columnist at the National Post and principal at Navigator LTD., joins Dave to discuss how a vaccine passport works, whether it's a good incentive to increase vaccinations, and why there is pushback among some premiers. Background reading: Bring on the vaccine passports, and bottoms up  

Alex Pierson talks with Tasha Kheiriddin, Principal at Navigator Ltd., Public Policy Analyst, & Columnist for the National Post.

L'épidémie de COVID 19 a bouleversé nos vies. Mais dans quels domaines particuliers? Et avec quels effets potentiels? Notre collègue David Millian en discute avec André Turcotte, Directeur associé de Découvrir par Navigator, qui a tout récemment conduit une large enquête canadienne sur le sujet. On y découvre notamment que la confiance de la population envers leurs dirigeants a énormément varié (rarement pour le mieux) et que les Canadiens ont été amené à repenser ce qui était essentiel dans leur vie, et donc, ce qui l'était moins.

La pandémie mondiale de COVID-19 a ramené à l'avant plan un enjeu souvent oublié par les populations - bien loties - des démocraties modernes: la place prépondérente des libertés publiques et fondamentales dans leur quotidien. Alors que les actes les plus simples de la vie courantes (comme le droit de circuler ou celui de se réunir) ne sont plus considérés comme tels aujourd'hui, bien des citoyens réalisent à quel point l'État peut être amené à restreindre, parfois sans préavis, nos libertés individuelles. Se pose alors la question: l'intérêt général, adossé principe de précaution, peut-il tout justifier? David Millian en parle avec André Pratte et Tasha Kheiriddin.

From a lockdown to a shutdown and now a province-wide stay-at home order, it's been hard to keep up with the pandemic restrictions in Ontario. Especially as they seem to be changing by the day. The Globe and Mail's Laura Stone; communications strategist Amanda Galbraith of Navigator Ltd.; and Dr. Gaibrie Stephen, a Peel Region emergency-room physician discuss the government's pandemic-control measures, its communications practices, and how it all affects the public.

John Horgan had some stern words for ‘young folk' yesterday. Suggesting to them to ‘not blow it for the rest of us'. Well, the younger demographic did not take too kindly to those words. We talk to Alex Shiff, Senior Consultant at Navigator LTD, Canada's leading high stakes public strategy firm, who calls the Province's communication thus far, a disaster. 

Financiarisation à outrance des marchés, enjeux environnementaux, montée des populismes alimentés par les inégalités... Le capitalisme a connu bien des excès ces dernières années et il cherche dorénavant à se réinventer. C'est une bonne nouvelle, mais pour se tourner vers quel modèle? "L'entreprise à mission" semblait être, jusqu'à présent, une solution prometteuse. Cette démarche vise à donner à l'organisation une "Raison d'être" et une série d'objectifs sociaux, sociétaux et environnementaux associés, inscrits dans ses statuts et constituant sa "Mission". Ce faisant, elle ne poursuit plus uniquement des objectifs économiques mais cherche également à apporter une contribution humaniste dans le monde dans lequel elle évolue. Danone fut l'une des toute premières multinationales à se prévaloir de ce statut en 2019. Mais voilà qu'après quelques résultats décevants sur les marché boursiers les fonds d'investissements activistes se sont rappelés aux bons souvenirs du conseil d'administration obtenant finalement la tête du PDG Emmanuel Faber. La question se pose donc: le concept d'entreprise à mission n'est-elle qu'une chimère? Milton Friedman avait-il raison lorsqu'il déclarait que la seule et unique mission de l'entreprise c'est d'assurer une rentabilité pour ses actionnaires et rien d'autre? David Millian en discute avec Tasha Kheiriddin dans ce tout nouvel épisode du Brief. Bonne écoute! Navigator Ltd. · Entreprises à mission : Mission impossible? Le cas Danone.

Les derniers événements liés aux élections américaines ont rappelé une chose: les plateformes numériques ont une énorme capacité à cristalliser les opinions et mobiliser les citoyens, parfois de manière explosive. Cela a amené les géants du Web sur un terrain dorénavant bien délicat: celui de devoir réguler (et parfois censurer) la parole des citoyens alors qu'ils sont en situation quasi-monopolistique sur l'échiquier informationnel. Dès lors se pose la question: ces géants ont-ils notre liberté d'expression entre les mains? Quelles sont les implications pour nos démocraties? David Millian en parle avec Luc Lefebvre, co-fondateur de Crypto.Québec. Navigator Ltd. · Notre liberté d'expression est-elle dans les mains des GAFAM? (avec Crypto.Québec)

Biden is the President Officially, anyway. What can we expect moving forward? Indigenous land acknowledgements Dr. Henry and Adrian Dix open every conference they do by honouring the land they are speaking on. This idea was brought to both Surrey and Richmond, and they turned it down. JJ Bean struggling with drug users JJ Bean has sometimes been a safe place for drug users to use their washrooms. However, since the pandemic, and JJ Bean needing to turn people down, they're becoming hostile towards the staff.    And more in this episode! _____________ NAVIGATE THE PODCAST:  Chapter 1 Joe Biden is the 46th President What can we expect in his first few months as the new President of the USA Chapter 2 The Rio Sports Bar, and what their move represents for B.C.

And, could this be why Canada has struggled when it comes to securing a good amount of doses of the Pfizer vaccine? Tasha Kheiriddin, Principal at Navigator Ltd. and Columnist for the National Post provides her take.  Chapter 4 The opposition to Indigenous land acknowledgements We hear it at every presser with Dr. Henry and Adrian Dix, as they thank the Indigenous people whose land they are speaking on.  So, why are Richmond and Surrey so opposed to this practice? Chief Terry Teegee, Regional Chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, joins us for a conversation.  Chapter 5 What a woman of colour as VP means Here locally, we've elected many bright young and empowered women of colour to hold leadership positions. With Kamala-Harris as the new VP, we talk about what this represents. First with Annamie Paul, Leader of the Green Party of Canada. And then with Bowinn Ma, North Vancouver MLA, and Minister of State for Infrastructure Chapter 6 JJ Bean staff being mistreated by street community Drug users and other vulnerable populations are directed their ire towards staff at JJ Bean Coffee, for not letting them use their facilities in light of the pandemic.  Julian Bentley, operator of JJ Main and 14th, tells us what's happening.  _____________   Remember to wash your hands, practice physical distancing, and stay home at all costs if you are sick.

Entre exercice de prémonition, gourmandise des médias et naïveté du public, les récentes élections présidentielles américaines ont révélé - pour la deuxième fois consécutive - la grande fragilité du modèle "un sondage à tout prix". Les sondages sont-ils encore un outil pertinent? Ont-ils été dévoyés? Est-ce que la réalité numérique et les médias sociaux brouillent dorénavant les cartes?

Fake news, bulles cognitives, éditorialisation de la presse, économie de l'attention... Nous vivons dans un univers que nous aurions eu du mal à concevoir il y a à peine 10 ans.
