Picked up a copy of the May edition of Toronto Life the other day and came across a very interesting article about a speaker of OES past – now deemed a “celebrity economist.” Anyone who has been reading the news lately will recognize the name in the article – Don Drummond, TD Bank’s Chief Economist.

The Toronto Life article talks about how Drummond focuses not only on traditional economics, but he also covers issues most other economists shy away from – poverty, the environment and education.
