Alberta's Next Resource Boom, Supporting Mental Health in the Workplace, and ‘wants’ vs ‘needs’ and consumer behaviour

Could our Province be on the verge of another resource boom? We speak with Veteran Journalist and Author Diane Francis for details on how a unique process for mining ‘Lithium’ could be a game-changer for the Alberta energy sector. Are Canadian businesses doing enough to support the mental health of their employees? We speak to a Human Resources professional who explains how far we’ve come addressing mental health issues in the workplace and how much more needs to be done.

We speak with Tandy Thomas, Professor of Marketing and Consumer Behavior at ‘Queens University’ about a concept called “split-brain budgeting.”
