How did CREA come up with the 3-day off market rule in the face of Competition Act? "Abuse of dominance occurs when a dominant business (or group of businesses) engages in activity that stops or substantially reduces competition in a market. These anti-competitive activities may be: .... exclusionary (trying to prevent a business from operating in a market); disciplinary (trying to punish a business); or intended to adversely affect competition (e.g., by making other companies want to compete less and denying consumers the benefit of competition)" AND "Exclusive dealing, tied selling, and market restriction occur when one person doing business with another imposes restrictions on how the other can conduct their business. For example: Tied selling is when a vendor requires or induces a customer to buy a second product (MLS in this case). For example, they may refuse to sell a certain product unless the customer also buys something else. Tied selling may also prevent a customer from using or distributing another product with a product supplied by a vendor. Market restriction is when a supplier requires a customer to sell certain products in a defined market OR penalizes a customer for selling outside a specified market.

In the dynamic landscape of London’s construction industry, where the foundation of every skyscraper is teamwork, my 12-year journey has been about more than just building structures; it’s been about constructing success through collaboration. Working with diverse logistics and facade companies across the UK has taught me a pivotal lesson: the synergy between managers and leaders is the cornerstone of growth. As we scaffold our way to the skyline, it’s the united vision and seamless cooperation that turn blueprints into landmarks. This journey has been a testament to the power of combining strategic management with visionary leadership. Together, we’re not just erecting buildings; we’re shaping the future of our city, one project at a time. #ConstructionLeadership #TeamworkInConstruction #BuildingLondon #LeadershipInAction#Tarento

I came across this post and article today that caught my eye: "Crystal Window & Door Systems, LTD. Welcomes New CEO Jeffrey Smith". The company name instantly brought back memories! Back in the late 1990s, I interned and then worked at the Jamaica Business Resource Center (JBRC) in Jamaica, Queens, NY. JBRC was the first One Stop Capital Shop launched as part of President Clinton’s initiative to provide small businesses with access to financing and technical support. It was my first exposure to SCORE Mentors and the U.S. Small Business Administration, and it sparked a passion in me for entrepreneurship and small businesses that drives me to this day. JBRC was my first real "job" and it showed me what was possible with the right mentors, guidance, education, and discipline. One of my early mentors, Gary Alexander Byrd, always reminded me of the value of education and how it would be my ticket to success and opportunities beyond my immediate surroundings and situation. He was the first to teach me about business planning, strategic thinking, and competitive analysis. The founders of Crystal Windows & Doors probably don’t remember me. I was just a 19/20-year-old trying to figure out my future. I can't remember his name, but I assume it was either Thomas or Steve Chen mentioned in the article. He came to the resource center almost EVERY DAY, met with mentors, used our computers and business resource library, and leveraged the small business community to work on his dream. He probably didn't notice me as I was usually in the back file room sorting documents, but his dedication left a lasting impression on me. Seeing this article brought me joy and admiration, and proved to me once again that with hard work, dedication, and the right team, anything is possible. Wow, from using a little non-profit's computers and library to founding one of the largest window manufacturers in the country with over 750 employees. If this isn’t the American dream, I don't know what is! Congrats to Crystal Pacific Window & Door Systems and to Thomas and Steve Chen on this momentous achievement, and thank you for inspiring me at an early age without even knowing it. Onward and upward! #mentorship #education #smallbusiness

More personal insights with Sandy Mackay, Founder of MacKay Realty Network and Operating Principal of Keller Williams Legacies Realty. We explored the Ontario real estate market, leveraging his extensive expertise as a business leader in the industry. Sandy recently shared valuable insights on the significance of authenticity and embracing imperfection within a team. He highlighted the importance of showing vulnerability, drawing inspiration from Brené Brown's renowned work in this area. Sandy also introduced an innovative approach for addressing issues—taking a walk with someone to discuss matters. This method promotes a sense of freedom and connection, often proving more effective than traditional sit-down meetings. #RealEstateProfessional #ThoughtLeadership #MarketInterview #OntarioRealEstateMarket #Vulnerability #LeadershipTool
