8:30 – William Lacey, an Alberta oil executive, was asked to remove his t-shirt during a tour of the Senate of Canada on Monday because some may be offended by the message “I love Canadian oil and gas.” After he was confronted by a guard, Lacey said he turned his shirt inside-out during the tour. Afterwards, he penned an open letter to the Prime Minister, Senators, and MPs, saying his right to support oil and gas is protected in the Charter, and others on the tour were wearing potentially-political messages like a peace sign or a skull but weren’t ordered to change. He said he was made to feel embarrassed by the shirt, and wants to know why he was treated in such a manner. The Parliamentary Protective Service has issued an apology to Lacey, and he joins Gormley now to discuss the experience.

11:00 – In the technology sector, most startups fail, and three quarters never generate profits. But failure can be the mother of success, according to Grant Wilson with the Edwards School of Business, as long as companies are committed to learning from and building on their failures. Wilson’s research found the tech companies with commitments to learning from failures were able to realize greater scientific output, generate more capital, file more patents, and hit milestones sooner compared to other startups. Wilson joins Gormley now to discuss why failure should be seen as a stepping stone and not a setback.
