Sample Talks

The Emergence Of The "New Saskatchewan"

From a generational attitude often characterized by an inferiority complex, pessimism, and low expectations, Saskatchewan undergone an important attitude adjustment. As an "it" province, we are now more confident and optimistic - enjoying a national and international profile that is sought out by immigrants and newcomers from Canada and abroad. John Gormley discusses the newly adopted Saskatchewan attitude of resilience, excellence, and pride.

Can Today's Political Leadership Meet Public Expectations?

The media can make or break a politician by the way they choose to portray the politician in question. Most politicians - regardless of political beliefs - are involved in politics because they truly want to make a contribution, but former MP John Gormley knows that delivering on campaign promises and making a positive contribution takes more than winning an election.

Voter turnout statistics have reached historic lows, and few quality people are offering themselves up for public office. ...Since we have grown angry and apathetic, are we getting the politicians we deserve?
