SUMMARY:Internal barriers to trade: Protecting industry or preventing growth?
DESCRIPTION: \nTrade barriers are to be expected between countries. But when similar roadblocks are erected between provinces\, they can send our economy down a bumpy road – costing Canadian consumers and businesses alike.

Join us for a panel conversation moderated by Macdonald-Laurier Institute Director of Domestic Policy\, Tim Sargent with economist Trevor Tombe\, and lawyer Ryan Manucha. They will discuss the reports economic findings and proposals to reduce these barriers that would lead to significant economic gains\, preserve space for diversity in provincial regulations while ensuring that goods and services can flow more freely across borders. \n\n\nRegister for the event here. \nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar.

SUMMARY:October 7th\, One year later: The Promised Land Project
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nThe world awoke to shock and horror on October 7th\, 2023. What has become clear in the year since Hamas’s barbaric attack on Israel is that the status quo of the past few decades is no longer sustainable. We have entered a new era of geopolitical relations in the Middle east\, ethnic tension\, and diaspora politics in Canada and across the Western world. \nIn response\, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI)\, Canada’s premier national think-tank\, is leading the way with a first-of-its-kind policy program. The Promised Land project addresses the critical gap of expert thought leadership that has enabled antisemitism to thrive. Through this initiative\, we aim to fundamentally reshape how Canadians view Israel\, the Middle East conflict\, antisemitism\, and extremism. On the anniversary of Hamas’s attack\, join us and our multidisciplinary team of Senior Fellows and key contributors to discuss the state of play in the Middle East and here in Canada. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for the event here. \nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar.

SUMMARY:Competition in the financial sector
DESCRIPTION: \nHow can financial sector competition help in a cost-of-living crisis? At a time when Canadians are struggling to make ends meet\, a holistic approach to making every sector cheaper is the best approach. Changes to financial sector policy that introduce more competition will incentivize financial service providers to offer lower fees to customers\, as well as spur innovation. This panel discussion will focus on how consumer-driven banking\, a real-time rail\, and digital currencies could make it less expensive for Canadians to manage their money. \n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Wednesday\, October 9th\, 2024\nTime: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm ET\n\nRegister for the event here. \nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \nPlease note further speakers may be announced.

SUMMARY:Leading the Digital Revolution: Female Indigenous Leaders and the Canadian North
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nNorthern and Indigenous communities have been seriously disadvantaged by being on the wrong side of the digital divide. While cities and prosperous rural areas benefit from inexpensive high-speed Internet services\, remote and northern settlements have suffered from being cut off from many of the benefits of the digital revolution. Major changes are coming. Tiffany Eckert-Maret\, chief operating officer of Da Daghay Development Corporation\, is one of the leaders of Sixty North Unity\, an Indigenous-owned company that has taken over Northwestel’s telecommunications operations in northern Canada. This unique initiative\, co-led by one of the North’s most effective female entrepreneurs\, has the potential to transform the roles of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Metis peoples in the emerging new economy in the North. This webinar explores the Sixty North Unity deal\, the barriers to further Indigenous engagement in the digital economy\, and the prominent roles that female Indigenous entrepreneurs play in this vital transition. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Wednesday\, October 30\, 2024\nTime: 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \nPlease register for the event here. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers
