We sit down with a contractor, Mitchell Baker of Karnak Pro Builders in BC is running for North Vancouver-Seymour as an Independent in the upcoming October 19 election. Mitchell, who is making the bold leap from the construction site to the political arena. Frustrated by the outdated infrastructure in his province and the waste of billions on untested construction products, he's running as an independent candidate to shake up the stagnant political environment. With a unique perspective on adapting in construction, he shares his vision for how Canada can progress, and the challenges workers face as they lose opportunities due to poor governance. Tune in to hear his journey and decide—can one man change the system, or will the system change him?

We also tackle the hot topic of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on the workforce—will AI replace workers, or will it create new opportunities for collaboration?

We address the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), emphasizing that skills and expertise should be the primary focus in creating a fair work environment.
