Thought-provoking article. It raises real concerns about the lack of visible progress in the Canada-U.S. tariff talks — but I wonder if the “silence” may partly reflect a deliberate strategy on both sides, rather than negligence.

This is a thoughtful — and somewhat sobering — way to look at where we might be headed. The metaphor of “maybe one day you’ll fix typewriters” works well: as jobs and technology evolve, skills we take for granted could become obsolete — so thinking about fallback options, lifelong learning, or reinventing ourselves isn’t crazy.

This article really resonated with me. Especially the part about asking clients “If your grandchildren could describe your legacy in one sentence, what would you want them to say?” It is powerful. It shifts the conversation from accumulation to meaning. As some of us approach our twilight years, it really puts what is important into perspective. Great call-out.
