Hey, U.S.A! We’re NOT the bad guys!

I have not read The Art of the Deal, nor will I ever. I used to teach sales, but I taught relationship building, tending a client’s needs and offering services not readily available elsewhere. What has occurred between Canada and the United States over the last several months and, in particular, several days cannot be …

The Honourable Rosalie Silberman Abella

Canada has their own RBG. In fact, Ruth Bader Ginsburg referred to Rosalie Silberman Abella as her ‘dearest sister-in-law’. While their careers and accomplishments mirror each other, in my opinion, the latter had a greater effect on their country’s laws.

As part of the treaty, U.S. recognized Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland. Donald Trump has such an inflated sense of self intelligence and importance he thinks he’s pulling …

Canada More Proud Than Ever!

As the world learns how strong and free Canada truly is, its people rejuvenate national pride. Social media is flooded with proclamations of how adults demonstrate strength, clarity, consideration, inclusivity, and poise in citizenship, leadership, and relationship-building. We’re taking the higher road. An example is this week’s move to by the Canadian Government to halt …

Perspective

So, what got me thinking about perspective? While sitting at my computer one day last week, the background TV was on an episode of Life After People on Story Television and they were specifically discussing what would happen to Detroit’s buildings 40 years after a population disappearance. They kept mentioning how the harsh weather extremes …
