This special edition of Chatter that Matters is not a love letter or ringing endorsement of our Prime Minister. It's a challenge as I believe that Canada is at the crossroads. Behind us is a lost decade, and in front of us, we must ask ourselves two questions: 1)Is Canada's destiny a matter of choice or chance? 2)Will Prime Minister Mark Carney become one of Canada's greatest Prime Ministers by leading our turnaround, or is he even more of the same? To keep the podcast engaging and entertaining, we travel back a century to the roaring twenties, and some striking similarities to where we are now. We then move forward to this century marked by uncertainty, conflict, and eroding trust. I end with a direct message and challenge for Prime Minister Carney. There is no doubt in my mind that the Liberals will earn a majority, and not through voter intent, but through footloose and fancy free politicians who dance across the floor. Prime Minister Mark Carney must make a choice. He can be the leader who leads us to possibility and prosperity, and in doing so, creates a legacy that will stand the test of time, or the leader who leads us even further behind. The time to act is now. And for those of you who listen, please take off your partisan blinders, wrap yourself in our majestic flag, take a seat in the middle, and open your mind to our positivity and possibility. There is still an opportunity to make Canada's destiny a matter of choice, not chance. I outline my strategies for how. Happy New Year. Thanks for listening to Chatter that Matters in 2025.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear: 1)Unlocking Canada's Tourism Potential: From a place to visit to the place to be.  2)Old and New": Powering the Future with Resources and Innovation: Can Canada responsibly harness its natural resources while simultaneously building a cutting-edge, intellectual economy? Here is how. 3)The Untapped Power of Canadian Content: Let's export it to the world.

It's time to focus on the most essential skills: collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. 6)Rewarding the Dreamers and Doers: My idea for making Canada the Entrepreneurial Epicenter of the world.   This isn't just talk; it's chatter that matters.  An aggressively optimistic roadmap for a brighter Canadian future, one where our destiny is a matter of choice, not chance.
