First time listener, very informative. Interesting learning the BGC and the role it plays in helping youth. I know where I will be donating. All levels of government should be giving much needed $$$ to this organization. Thanks for the insight.
Great show!
I’m a big fan of Dave’s, who I find very thoughtful and balanced in his commentary, but in a way that draws you in and is fun to listen to. Highly recommend!
Love having a (regular, hopefully) Ontario politics podcast hosted by pro pod folk. I was missing On the Ledge, glad to have Dave Trafford in my notifications again!
A fabulous podcast and a great lesson in life for people wanting, planning or being forced to make a pivot. Tony
