Lessons painfully learned during busts are gradually forgotten as new eras dawn & the cycle begins anew—a depressing cycle of prudence, confidence, complacency, euphoria & despair. This reflects the power of the 3 lies of finance. The 1st lie? “This time is different.” #Reith 1/3

The 2nd lie of finance is the belief the market is always right. This resulted in a light-touch regulatory agenda in the quest for a perfect real world of complete markets. #Reith 2/3

The 3rd lie of finance is markets are moral. In financial markets, means & ends can be conflated all too easily. Value can become abstract and relative—and the pull of the crowd can overwhelm the integrity of the individual. #Reith 3/3

Reconciliation is an indisputable part of us as a nation, and all public servants - at every level and in every job - must be a part of this dialogue, and sol'ns. #IPAC2021IAPC Janice Charette

Not to diminish anyone's fear or alarm, but it appears white people in Ottawa are starting to understand what it's like to be constantly let down by police and the justice system
