CANADA at a CROSSROADS – A Baby Boomers Reflection on Identity, Uncertainty, and the Future.

Canada is changing. The question is—are we paying attention?

Born in 1958, Doug Rogers has spent a lifetime watching Canada grow, evolve, and quietly redefine itself. What once felt stable and predictable has shifted into something far more uncertain.

From the calm confidence of post-war Canada to the economic shocks, cultural shifts, and global tensions of today, Canada at a Crossroads connects the dots through one man’s lived experience. This is not a history lesson. It is a reflection from someone who has seen the country change from the inside.

As global pressures rise and the relationship with the United States grows more complex, Canadians are beginning to ask harder questions about identity, sovereignty, and the future. Questions that can no longer be ignored.

Doug Rogers brings a grounded, thoughtful voice to those questions. Drawing from decades of real-world experience and conversations with people from around the globe, he offers a perspective that is both personal and unmistakably Canadian.

FIVE TRACKS of LEADERSHIP – Practical Lessons in Hospitality Leadership, Team Culture and Service Excellence.

Five Tracks of Leadership introduces the Five Tracks of Leadership Model, a practical framework developed from nearly three decades of real-world leadership experience in the hospitality and service industries. Built around a railway-inspired structure, the model outlines five core leadership principles that guide how trust is built, teams are inspired, and strong workplace cultures are created. Written in a clear, conversational style, the book focuses on practical leadership that people can apply immediately. Whether you are a new manager or an experienced leader, the Five Tracks of Leadership Model offers a grounded approach to leading with integrity, purpose, and lasting impact.

A Life Out Loud invites you on a heartfelt journey across rails, roads, and decades. From prairie childhood tales to nearly three decades aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, Doug Rogers shares stories filled with humour, resilience, and the unforgettable characters who shaped his life. It’s a memoir of adventure, self-discovery, and staying on track through every twist and turn.

“Life, like the rails, is full of unexpected turns—these are the stories that kept me on track.”
