Podcast: A Conversation With Frank McKenna From His Home Office In Cap-Pelé - Huddle.Today
The former N.B. premier sees opportunity everywhere, from the region’s small towns to its larger cities.
At home during the pandemic, the former Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. and current Deputy Chairman of TD Bank is working seven days a week and enjoying the outdoor amenities of his province. In a conversation with Huddle editor Mark Leger, Frank offers insights on the future of remote work, energy, immigration and the region’s entrepreneurial spirit.
“I happen to think [the pandemic’s] opened up a couple of huge opportunities for us that wouldn’t have been as readily apparent before. People are now all over the world are now working remotely. I don’t think working remotely is a permanent feature for everybody under every circumstance, but I think it’s going to be a part of our lifestyle in some respects going forward for a long time, in fact, forever,” says Frank, when asked about if the Covid-19 crisis has changed the way he sees Atlantic Canada growing economically.
“That’s changed the whole nature of work and all of a sudden, jurisdictions like ours here that are remote – remote from the towers of New York and Toronto – provide opportunities for people to live remotely and work in challenging occupations. That’s new. We’ve never really gone to the extent we have before.”
The Huddle “Home Office” podcast, available on Spotify, Google Play, and Apple podcast platforms, features conversations with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia community leaders, entrepreneurs, analysts and Huddle reporters about the issues and events that accelerate and enrich the growth of the region’s economy and culture."
