What Really Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Time for the Takeaway, and leading from behind. A lot of attention has been paid to our federal government recently: As the face of our nation in a trade fight, and because our prime minister has launched what amounts to a global marketing campaign.That lends an atmosphere of purpose to the country, and has left businesses feeling more confident. Growing our economy, and doing it in a new way, is the undertaking of a generation. It feels like a time of great import because it is.But for Canadian

Time for the Takeaway, and when doing the right thing pays off. Mark Carney had a message for investors this week that every Canadian should care about.

But we humans are intrigued by them (they are cute!) in our specist way, so we keep them around for entertainment. So pandas are on my mind this week. Between warnings of past-the-point-of-no-retur
Good Question, Amanda (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of my producers once gave me a mug with “Good Question, Amanda” on it; it had become something of a running joke, how frequently guests said it on air. Of course, ‘good question’ isn’t always a good answer – sometimes it’s filler, used by a guest looking to buy some time while considering an answer. But the truth is, when you do what I do for a living, asking a good question isn’t just an asset; it’s the whole ballgame. It’s why when we decided to launch a new interview podcast, Good Questio
