Influence and Public Profile

Turley-Ewart frequently acts as a bridge between the banking industry and the public/policy spheres:

• Commentary: He is a prominent contributing columnist for The Globe and Mail where he writes a weekly column that regularly appears on Mondays.
• Canadian Business: JTE also writes about the impact of government policy on the country's economy and business prospects, pointing to how policy influences the quality of life and standard of living of Canadians.

• Talk Radio: Turley-Ewart has more than two decades of experience contributing to economic and political discussions on talk radio in Toronto.

While his sharp critiques of current regulators and policy makers can be provocative, his status as a "banker-historian" and his background in high-level compliance at Canada's largest bank (RBC) provide him with significant professional weight among his peers.
