TLDR: Need a long-term source from Canada to draft more relevant articles for a financial consulting firm.

Context: Hy, I work in a Canadian Financial Consulting Firm. I know a little about Canada from my CEO and it seems like the country is very very different from where I belong (Pakistan). I must submit four blogs every month to the firm. Even though AI is a good source of getting topics, I couldn't bring it to write content that even I would be interested in reading. It is very general and ... well, AI-like. I like writing but AI content is not my style of writing.

Problem: I am looking for someone who has time, 20/30 mins a day or more, to chat. I would be asking questions and because you live in Canada, your answers would be much more relevant then ChatGPT. We can call too if you are comfortable. I am available on Gmail, Discord, Reddit, WhatsApp, Teams, Outlook, and Instagram. I can shift to some other apps too if you are interested in talking.

General Info: Right now, my boss recommended a topic "CEBA". From my research, I have been able to understand what CEBA is, the deadlines that it came with, extended deadlines etc. But ... I am missing opinions. I am missing someone who tells me if people misused it (interest-free loans up for grabs for middle-class owners)? Do they think the government had an ulterior motive behind giving these loans so easily? Was it easy to get in the first place (like did the banks facilitate the application process etc.)? And what is the sentiment now that the loans will convert into term loans with 5% interest on pending payments per annum? You can redirect me to a friend who took the loans. We can set a virtual interview via Zoom/Google Meet/Microsoft Teams to get deep into it.

And this is the process I follow for every article written for the job. HMU if you are available, and thanks for reading!

I guess I was not able to make it clear the first time, that the person/source will just be talking. You won't be writing. Nor will you do any active research. You are in Canada on the ground, that's an advantage I don't have. That's your advantage I am looking to use to get more relevant content than just pull stuff from other blogs online. Its my first time too so I am not even sure how effective this method is going to be but its worth a try.

I can buy you a coffee or a lunch for every meeting we do. Money also brings in the credibility of your sources. (For example, if something happened between you and a bank's teller, that's more valuable than an incident you quote from the friend of a friend). Let me know if you are interested and we can chat.
