SUMMARY:Converting Opportunity into Indigenous Prosperity
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nThis webinar features Sandy Sanderson\, President of the Northeastern Alberta Business Association and a northern entrepreneur. The discussion will review the current state of Indigenous engagement in the oil and gas sector in northern Alberta.

The focus of the conversation will be on what might be called the “next wave” of Indigenous economic engagement\, moving beyond the fairly limited returns of the past quarter century and establishing a foundation for more extensive Indigenous involvement and long-term prosperity building. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Friday\, September 6th\, 2024\nTime: 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar.

SUMMARY:Authoritarian Alliances in Afghanistan: How China is strengthening the Taliban regime while undermining liberal democracy
DESCRIPTION: \nIn the wake of the NATO and U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021\, China has swiftly expanded its presence in the war-torn nation\, exploiting the power vacuum to extract natural resources and support the Taliban regime. This financial backing strengthens the Taliban’s control and risks turning Afghanistan into a terrorism hub. In a webinar discussion\, we will explore China’s growing influence in Afghanistan and its attempts to undermine liberal democracy. Beyond economics\, China seeks to dominate Afghan society\, including civil and academic institutions and was the first to recognize Taliban-controlled embassies. Our experts will delve into these issues\, examining the threats to global security and democracy\, and discuss how Canada and the international community can respond to these challenges. Don’t miss this vital conversation on safeguarding peace\, freedom\, and liberal democracy. \n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Thursday\, September 12th\, 2024\nTime: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. ET\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers
