Rick Mercer
My Adventures in Canadian Television
Think This Hour Has 22 Minutes... Think Made In Canada... Think Talking Yo Americans... Think The Rick Mercer Report. Now you understand why Rick Mercer has become "Canada's Unofficial Opposition." He understands what amuses, delights, and occasionally enrages Canadians about our ploitics, our media elite and our great neighbour to the south, and has the comedic skills and satirical sensibility to translate that into some of the funniest television on the planet.

Joe Flower
Borrow My Eyes: Consumer Power in the Future of Healthcare
The Information Age brings us far more than interesting, useful ways to communicate with our customers and serve them. Combined with new consumer-directed health plansm it will usher in an age of consumer power unlike anything healthcare has experienced before. It will be highly disruptive - but it may be the best thing that has ever happened to healthcare.

Brian Thwaits
A Healthy Brain in a Healthy Body
We know that Ralph Waldo Emerson called health the greatest wealth. So we watch what we eat, try to get more exercise, and reduce stress when possible. But what about the health of our brains? This fascinating and humorous presentation suggests that energizing our brians will help us achieve both a more balanced lifestyle ande an enriched quality of life. And, best of all, it provides simple mental fitness strategies that can be incorporated into our daily lives to stimulate and invigorate the way we think and learn.
