This is a daily conversation in Canadian circles! It also brings up the question where people shop. Costco is still on my list for supporting BC products, including produce from outside the U.S. That said, I’m targeting local businesses first and foremost and Cdn products that support Cdn workers.

CBC has been a part of our culture & it is truly Canadian. If you don’t care for CBC, fine. But please care about local media. In today’s chaos, we need it.

People get their news from many different sources, many of which promote extreme narratives, without ethical and responsible journalism.

With decline in local media, troubling discourse across a spectrum of issues, it’s key for EM practitioners & academics continue to take a role in bridging the gaps to exchange ideas & build relationships. We need it.
