Cole Bennett, widely known online as @cole.notcole, has carved out a distinct path as an independent Canadian political pundit, newsfluencer, and digital journalist.

Sam Slauenwhite is a wealth advisor who believes that financial guidance should combine analytical rigor with a human touch. A University of Alberta Bachelor of Commerce in Finance graduate and CFA Level II candidate working toward his charter, he brings a solid foundation in investment analysis and portfolio support from his previous background as a financial analyst at a commercial real estate investment firm. Early in his own career, Sam connects naturally with younger professionals and next-generation families by relating directly to the challenges of building a future, managing career risk, and navigating market noise. Outside of the office and his writing for the Early Reflections blog, he can frequently be found cycling through the river valley or playing a round of golf.
