Crossing sectoral boundaries is her ’thing’. Geographic boundaries too; Donna has worked on projects in over 35 countries. Presently\, she writes a national column for the National Post and publishes blogs at beyond polarity—blog and comments on politics & policy in Alberta. \nMeeting Discussion Topic:  “There’s policy and there’s politics…and you can’t do one without the other.”  To figure out what’s going on in the political landscape of Canada and Alberta\, Donna will look at recent events through the prism of both policy and politics: \n\nFederal government over-reach on energy and climate policy\nThe blocking of Canadian media by digital platforms\nA war in Ukraine and now in the Middle East too\nNATO obligations & relationships with the Canadian Armed Forces\nResponse to the Freedom Convoy\nUse of the notwithstanding clause to back parental rights\nSeriously damaged relationships with India\n\nIn the spring of 2022\, Donna published a book titled Teaching the Dinosaur to Dance: Moving Beyond Business as Usual.   Her thesis:  In a post-COVID world\, leaders can’t rely on status quo thinking to deliver results. Today\, it’s fair to say that  “business as usual” is naive\, bordering on stupid. Many of our long-standing ways of doing things have been thrown into chaos.  And what comes next isn’t yet clear. \n \n  \n
