“I was very grateful this invitation came from you and not the Tories,” he joked. “Otherwise my mother would have disowned me.”
Gladwell, whose books include The Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers, is a graduate of the University of Toronto's Trinity College.
He spoke of making the case for a “new kind of liberalism” and the importance of a proactive government with a clear message and agenda.
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. Jack Layton
