You either make it illegal, in which case you support a huge underground economy or you tax it within the limits people can afford.

I'd rather invest in an entrepreneur who has failed before than one who assumes success from day one.

What I'm trying to do is immerse myself.

Imagine bringing Canada into a trillion-and-a-half of deficit. That's insane.

So much of life is a negotiation - so even if you're not in business, you have opportunities to practice all around you.

Imagine how foolish you'd look if, like one clever salesman who once pitched to me, you tried to license your product to a big industry player without knowing they just launched a competing product. With the right background research, he could have avoided that and other landmines - and so can you.

There's only one side with me. You get the right side. You get the correct version of the facts.
