Michelle Rempel Garner: I went to Davos. The World Economic Forum is not running Canada
The WEF portrays itself as a highly influential elite organization. In reality, it’s an overpriced sales conference.
according to Ms Rempel Garner’s own website:
Michelle holds a degree in economics. Highlights of her many honours include being named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women by the Women’s Executive Network, Calgary’s “Top 40 under 40”, and being named twice by Maclean’s Magazine as their Parliamentarian of the Year – Rising Star calling her “one of the government’s most impressive performers.” Michelle is also a Young Global Leader, invited to be so by the World Economic Forum. The World Economic Forum calls the Forum of Young Global Leaders a “unique and diverse community of the world’s most outstanding, next generation leaders.” Rempel was also recently named one of “Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People”.
All I can say to Ms Rempel Garner is that she could have said no. Declined the “honour” of joining this elite “overpriced sales conference”. But she didn’t. Sooo actions have consequences. Now its damage control time.
Here is a link to the World Economic Forum’s list of some of the 1400 current members and alumni. Many are not on that list.
Count the Canadians, especially Canadian cabinet ministers, former Canadian cabinet ministers and Supreme Court of Canada Senior Council. Take a look at all of the politicians from all around the world. There are filters so you can narrow down the list by year, region, sector or status. It looks like the list only goes back tp 2016.
