Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cybersecurity
Q: What is the most appropriate response for an individual, a company, or a government when attacked, and how should they mitigate damage?
Be transparent, communicate clearly with customers, practitioners, and stakeholders; own the breach, share what happened, how you're responding, and how you'll preserve trust, while avoiding overly legal boilerplate and making the messaging sincere.
Canada - US Relations?: One on One with Ambassador Hoekstra
Q: Can you describe where our relationship stands, given recent tensions and the tariff discussions?
The relationship remains deeply connected; despite bumps and some tough negotiations, we share intertwined economies, security interests, and a long history of cooperation, and we should focus on strengthening those ties rather than letting disputes override the overall partnership.
BC's Innovation Economy - Can we Train, Retain and Attract the Best & Brightest?
Q: What would you like to see happen in the next 12 months to change the trajectory?
Panelists emphasize coherent public policy, capital access, talent strategies, and procurement to accelerate growth while keeping companies in BC.
Unlocking BC's Economy: Innovative First Nations Partnerships
Q: Is this budget a growth budget, and will it address productivity and GDP per capita?
The guest suggests it is a down payment toward a productivity agenda, with limited immediate impact; long-term growth depends on sustained investment, innovation, and a convincing supply-side strategy, beyond short-term fiscal maneuvering.
Unlocking BC's Economy: Innovative First Nations Partnerships
Q: So at a high level, what's your impression of the budget?
The guest expresses a cautious view: not as transformative as hoped, acknowledges some positive elements, but highlights structural challenges, the growing debt burden, and the risk of kicking the can on balance sheet issues, while recognizing intent to shift towards investment and competitiveness.
