from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Trudie Mason is joined by Daniel Tran, Director of Communication and Governmental Relations at Casacom, and Victor Henriquez, Public Affairs and Crisis Management specialist at Public Strategy and Conseil.

How much would you spend on a piece of art? For the city of Saskatoon, the answer is $300 thousand. Despite meeting barely half of their performance targets, government executives received over $200 million in bonuses last year.
