Amid shifting political landscapes—both in Canada and globally—understanding how politics influences corporate decision-making is more crucial than ever. Haskayne MBA and EMBA students are invited to the Winter 2025 Jarislowsky Dinner and Discussion to explore the critical intersection of politics and business, examining the risks and opportunities that arise when these two worlds collide.

Co-Fellow Irfhan Rawji has assembled a panel of accomplished leaders from across the political spectrum to share their insights:

• The Honourable Jason Kenney – Former Premier of Alberta & long-time federal cabinet minister with 25 years in public service

• The Honourable Anne McLellan – Former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, with extensive experience in Justice, Public Safety, and Health

• Brian Topp – Senior NDP strategist, former Chief of Staff to Alberta Premier Rachel Notley & Deputy Chief of Staff to Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain exclusive insights from top political and business leaders, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and expand your strategic leadership toolkit.
