SUMMARY:Building Better: Solving the housing crisis and reducing carbon emissions through integrated energy\, infrastructure\, and housing policies
DESCRIPTION: \nCanada’s housing market is facing a crisis\, with soaring costs and growing demand\, while energy and infrastructure struggles to keep pace with the needs of a changing economy. Join us for a webinar event featuring leading experts as we explore the critical intersection of energy\, housing\, and infrastructure policy in Canada. \nIn an era of rising housing costs\, evolving energy demands\, and aging infrastructure\, our panelists will examine how these sectors are interconnected\, and how policy approaches that integrate the three can allow the simultaneous pursuit of more housing with the right mix of supporting infrastructure in a way that reduces emissions. \nOur experts will offer a comprehensive analysis of the complex dynamics shaping Canada’s future and explore innovative solutions for addressing these pressing issues. This session will provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Canada’s energy\, housing\, and infrastructure sectors. \nPlease register for the event here.\nEverything we do at MLI is made possible by generous donors. If you enjoy the event\, please consider supporting our work. \nSpeakers

SUMMARY:Removing the roadblocks: How provinces can lead the charge on boosting internal trade
DESCRIPTION: \n\nJoin us for a webinar to tackle one of Canada’s most pressing economic challenges: the barriers to internal trade and worker mobility that are stifling productivity\, investment\, and wage growth in Canada. \nDrawing from his new paper Breaking barriers: How provinces can drive Canada’s prosperity by unlocking trade and labour mobility\, MLI Senior Fellow and Economics Professor Trevor Tombe will discuss how these obstacles are holding back businesses and workers alike\, and why waiting for a national solution is unnecessary. Provinces have the power to act boldly and independently – by recognizing regulations from other provinces\, improving labour mobility\, and removing unnecessary trade exemptions – paving the way for a more efficient\, resilient economy. \nCanada is facing unprecedented economic uncertainty thanks to US President Donald Trump’s tariff war and “51st state” annexation threats. As the country’s GDP per capita continues to decline\, the need for action has never been greater. This webinar will explore how provincial reforms can not only boost local economies but drive national growth\, reduce regional disparities\, and strengthen Canada’s overall economic resilience. Join us to discover how provincial action can unlock Canada’s full economic potential\, create a more integrated economy\, and secure a more self-sufficient\, prosperous future. \nSpeakers

SUMMARY:Combatting disinformation: The importance of partnership between Japan and Canada
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital landscape\, disinformation spreads rapidly\, influencing public opinion\, undermining trust in institutions\, and threatening democratic stability. As malicious actors refine their tactics\, the need for coordinated international action has never been more urgent. Disinformation poses a direct challenge to democracy\, national security\, and social cohesion. \nThe Macdonald-Laurier Institute will host a webinar on the collaborative efforts between Japan and Canada to counter disinformation in an era of increasing digital threats. As misinformation and fake news continue to threaten our democratic institutions\, national security\, and public trust\, international co-operation is more critical than ever. \nThis session will bring together experts\, policy-makers\, and researchers to discuss strategies\, best practices\, and joint initiatives aimed at strengthening information integrity. Topics will include threat actors and their targets in the Canada and Japan\, countermeasures (regulatory measures\, debunking\, prebunking\, strategic communications\, media literacy programs\, etc.)\, technological advancements\, and cross-border collaborations to reduce the harm of disinformation. \n\n\nRegister for the event here. \nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar.
