  • A political bombshell sets the tone for the holidays on Parliament Hill

    A political bombshell sets the tone for the holidays on Parliament Hill
    Dec 20 2024
    Our Now and Next C.A.S.T. (Comms and Strategy Team) weighs in in the chaos ignited on Parliament Hill by the sudden resignation of Finance Minster and Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland.

    Nobody saw it coming. But the Prime Minister should have expected it - considering he FIRED Freeland from Finance mere days before she was expected to table the Fall Economic Statement.

    The strangest thing in a weird political week us Trudeau wanted Freeland to present the FES even after telling her he was moving her out of Finance!

  • NOW and NEXT LIVE from the PAAC Conference in Toronto

    NOW and NEXT LIVE from the PAAC Conference in Toronto
    Dec 11 2024
    It's a NOW and NEXT first!

    Our Comms and Strategy Team (C.A.S.T.) presented this edition of the podcast LIVE at the Public Affairs Association of Canada conference in Toronto. It was held in November at the waterfront campus of George Brown College.

    We riffed on the emergence of podcasting a powerful weapon in the comms and stategy arsenal for brands and organizations in a day and age when "earned media" is increasingly more difficult to land.

    We also talked about the political power of podcasting - particularly against the backdrop of the US Presidential election that gives Donald Trump another four years behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
