We have to change public perception of ex-convicts. Most Canadians don't realize that when you come out of prison, you're a complete pariah. You can't get a car loan or money from a bank to start a business. So most end up back in prison within 24 months. It's just so wrong. We need to fix this problem.

I could have easily gone down the wrong path and dropped out of school, but I was given a second chance.

I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.

Being an employee is a bad outcome. You want to avoid that. Being an employee is never a good outcome. That's just an opinion.

I have great people working for me now. I surround myself with smart people.

Let's not forget, there are three languages in Canada - English, French, and there's the language of jobs.
