The Generalists Eklectish Media

The Generalists are joined by Vijai Kumar to discuss the threat to Canadian and North American communities as a result of poor land-use planning and walk-able infrastructure.

Vijai is a public policy enthusiast with a range of research experience at multiple governing levels. Currently, he works in the think tank/non profit space doing policy research.

Being a proponent of community wealth building, Vijai volunteers to address the crisis of homelessness in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). He is a proponent of community land trusts (CLTs) and “missing middle” infrastructure, providing research support to community groups and nonprofits around affordable housing solutions.

He also enjoys demystifying economic policy for non-economist audiences through his writing, which you can find on Eklectish and on his blog, The Kumar Effect.

The Generalists are joined by Bemnet Debebe to discuss the Ethiopian civil war - an extremely serious global event that too few in the West are aware of. Bemnet provides a coherent and honest analysis of the conflict that all will find interesting regardless of previous knowledge or interest in the topic.

Bemnet predominately operates in the field of consultation and has given advice to clients in Canada, USA and Sub-Saharan Africa. He’s lived in  Ethiopia and supported a USAID funded initiative focused on the promotion of urban health in Addis Ababa. He currently works for a Canadian financial institution consulting on risk & strategy topics. He received his Master of International Public Policy from the Balsillie School of International Affairs in 2016.

During the conversation two media interviews are mentioned. Links to these interviews are below:

With only a few days to go before Canadians choose a new government, The Generalists provide their humourous take on the state of politics in the country and share predictions for the outcome of the election.

The Generalists announce a new life update and sit down with old friend and wildly successful entrepreneur Megan Arthurs. They discuss Megan’s business H:OM Organizing, an organizing and decluttering business with a twist. Megan has been featured on multiple media outlets and The Generalists were pleased to have such a candid and hilarious conversation with her.

Another hilarious episode, you won't want to miss Scott holding true to his word and eating his Tavares jersey, as he promised he'd do if the Leafs lost to Montreal.
