  1. The Beatles-on-Ed-Sullivan response to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Davos speech on Wednesday. (It was well argued and well timed, but I doubt it’s what one of my 60-something readers said was “maybe one of the greatest speeches of our lifetime.”)
  2. And the passionate LinkedIn reaction to my takedown yesterday of the empty-cab-drove-up-and-Richard-Edelman-stepped-out post about the latest and lamest edition of the wearying Edelman Trust Barometer.

… I said people aren’t just hungry for meaningful rhetoric and substantive thought leadership.

    Listen here, eh?
    Let us have our moment — the book of “Great Canadian Speeches” is more pamphlet than tome.
    Nevertheless, I am interested to know how many read the speech and how many simply responded to a post.
