## Resource

Larry Smith reflects on a 55-year career spanning the CFL, business, and Canadian politics. From leading the CFL through crisis to navigating the Senate, he shares lessons on leadership, legacy, and service. The episode also captures a raw, behind-the-scenes look at his retirement in Ottawa — and raises a bigger question: can integrity, respect, and bipartisanship still exist in Canadian politics today?
