Thanks for the positive comments. I'm hopeful about the signals we see that change has truly come. There is no more fertile time for change than a time of crisis, so I think it's safe to say that there's lots of change work to be done the next 6 to 18 months. Serious times, but I'm seriously optimistic at the same time. Alan, there’s already a Draft Justin movement!

Also, please excuse me Mark: I totally neglected to mention that this was an awesome read and totally insightful and kind of jumped to the judgement/commentary part without mentioning that I got a lot out of the article! What I meant to say but forgot because you had sent my mind reeling was: <i>Thanks</i> for finding a new insight here, and sharing a decidedly unique viewpoint on a situation we've all heard a lot about recently. Really got a lot out of fresh value out of this post! Justin Trudeau perhaps?

As always, I think finding that ambitious new project will mean a lot of vetting of possible clients to find those that are actually prepared to engage community in a real way. I guess I'm looking for my own Obama.
