This is my website where I consolidate my thoughts on business and politics via easy links to my National Post articles. The views are my own. Business and politics are deeply intertwined and how decisions in both fields are made affect our lives, sometimes without the broader public being aware.  Articles on this site analyze and critique current affairs, political decisions and social trends. I try to look at the possible reasons affecting business and political decisions as well as their implications for business, politics and your everyday life.  If you have any questions please contact me.
