RE:RE:Topic is related to BKnavgod;
Not sure it was a good idea to raise the Trudeau/Political topic here.
Definitely touchy area to step into particularly where energy is concerned.

- Brainstorm solutions to global challenges
The WEF is based in Cologny, Switzerland, and was founded in 1971 by German engineer Klaus Schwab.
The WEF is known for its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which brings together around 3,000 participants for up to five days of discussions.
(Question: What has this series of conferences actually accomplished/implemented?)WEF's mission is to:
Create platforms for leaders from different spheres of influence to:
- Interact and Embody the "spirit of Davos", which is an attitude of openness and cooperation
- Lay out principles for stakeholder capitalism, a system of shared goals for businesses
WEF has received criticism over the years, including legations of:
- Corporate capture of global and democratic institutions
- Institutional whitewashing initiatives
- The public cost of security
- Unclear decision processes and membership criteria
- A lack of financial transparency
- The environmental footprint of its annual meetings
As for the WEF... it isn't quite the successful forum it is intended to be: The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an international organization that brings together leaders from business, politics, academia, and other sectors to:

Canada's ranking around 28th or 29th out of 38 OECD countries when measuring Worker Productivity.
4.)
Size and Cost of Canada's Public Service sectors relative to top 20+ OECD members that negatively impacts both GDP and Worker Productivity numbers.
5.)
Propensity to choose companies and industries "They" support at expense of free market conditions.
6.)
Inability to adequately define and support secondary industries that ensure financial benefits to Canada in support of primary industries. (E.G.
