Profit Is Not Always the Point
We frequently hear that local government needs to do more to help sustain the businesses within a community. This TED Talk turns that around. "Business has to play its role in serving the the societies which actually sustain them."
Did you know the non-profit sector represents $106 billion or 7.1% of the Canadian GDP (larger than the automotive or manufacturing industries)! This TED talk is a pretty good reframing of the way we think about society and charity and profit.
