Black Friday is next week, so it’s time to check out your local flyers and get your shopping on.

The Current Account (click here to read) covers Canadian businesses struggling to compete with Amazon, extreme weather events costing the U.S. economy, thousands of U.S. Starbucks workers walking off the job, and magicians being less prone to mental health issues than other creative occupations.

Taylor’s word of the week is Pluralism, which refers to a situation in which people of different social classes, religions, races, etc., are together in a society but continue to have their different traditions and interests. “Pluralism should be understood as an essential part of our global response to the differences that exist in every society. Diversity is a fact of modern life and managed well; it can underpin dynamic, peaceful societies.” - John McNee, Former Secretary General for the Global Centre for Pluralism.

 

Have a great weekend,
