TORONTO – By this time next week, we will know whether Canada will have decided that “a new” individual/party will shape the Executive Council of the Parliament of Canada.

TORONTO – This is holy week for Judeo-Christians in Canada. For Catholic Christians Good Friday is the holiest day of the Christian calendar. Yet, it will kick off the most serious last week of contemplation for qualities in leadership that as citizens we expect will define our interests and advance them to our satisfaction.
