Whoever takes the helm will certainly inherit a more polarized constituency. Let’s hope the rhetoric that paints business as the enemy is dismissed. Instead of assuming business owners are greedy and driven only by their self-interest, they should be considered valuable contributors to our communities, taking risks with their own money, and creating jobs that aren’t paid through taxes. For every business operator like those Tim Horton’s franchisors who cut breaks in response to the minimum wage hike, there are dozens more like Didi Calhoun who treat their staff, customers and community with respect. We need more of them. KG
