Why Must We Think Long Term?

To follow up on the Q&A session with Marty the Health Guy, I came across a book called “Above the Board” by Patrizia Porrini, Lorene Hiris, and Gina Poncini. Marty’s views on the ineffectiveness of legislation were confirmed by this book from a business ethics perspective. In addition to the importance of ethics and long term thinking, this post will discuss their application to Toronto’s ongoing transit debate.

Individuals, community organizations, and governments all have roles to play in improving political health. However, one cannot underestimate the role of business either.
