That is the plan for elections 2025.  Some of us, always pregnant with ideas know we don't need a church to make holy water.  Our resources are essential and without land and water to sustain us ethically for business, our younger generation will not listen to you.  From that first impression to the final link of goods sold to consumers over 2.3 million employees work in the retail sector in Canada, (Retail Council of Canada).  So here are some tips for the old fashion politicians running our country to the ground.  Power Up instead.  We have seen this decline in the last 15 years and everyone is learning why. According to the Retail Council of Canada these are the key sectors to concentrate on for this upcoming election:


  • End the Tariff War
  • Fight Retail Crime, especially Organized and/or Violent Crime
  • Drive Down Retailers’ Operating Costs
  • Create a Level Playing Field for Retail in Canada
  • Introduce Programs to Increase Retail Activity in Canada


 

The advantages of an election can spark new ideas, new community engagement and of course all surround our necessary advancement tool:  COMMUNICATION.  How we communicate with each other and then to larger audiences.  Let's keep it real.  The best communicators are expert listeners.  We can observe these skills during debates.  What do they speak of?  When is the timeline of their plans for positive activity for business growth?  Are they listening to women and women in business and education and health?  Coming from a family background of hard working common sense givers, these days are no different for meeting our needs for a win-win situation. You know, the term, "I scratch your back you scratch mine", not "I stab you back and you stab mine."  And then there is that sense that you can not reason with unreasonable.
