A traumatizing, air travel experience is no stranger to the everyday Canadian. But it seems the TikToks and online posts of complaints seem to do little in terms of garnering real and sustainable change from our aviation sector. The federal government recently granted more access to Middle Eastern airlines to fly into Canadian airports in hopes of creating competition. It comes in response to a 2025 Competition Bureau report that called for less restrictions on foreign investment. Host Maria Kestane speaks to John Gradek, aviation expert and professor at McGill University to discuss what changes Canada's aviation industry should implement to restore consumer trust in air travel, and what progress has been made since the 2023 federal commitment of improving the air passenger protection regulations.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Dave Chatterjee speaks with Greg Clark—longtime enterprise content management and cybersecurity leader—about a foundational but overlooked ingredient of AI success: information readiness. While organizations rush to implement artificial intelligence, many neglect the quality, governance, security, and contextual integrity of the data fueling these systems. As Clark notes, without clean, curated, and governed information, even the most advanced AI models will misfire—sometimes with damaging or legally significant consequences.Together, they explore why “garbage in, garbage out” is more relevant than ever in the AI era, especially as enterprises confront fragmented data, weak metadata, inconsistent governance, and high regulatory scrutiny. Dr. Chatterjee weaves in his Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) governance framework, demonstrating why information readiness must be treated as a strategic capability, not a technical afterthought. The conversation illuminates how trust, data integrity, and responsible model oversight are emerging as competitive differentiators in the age of GenAI and agentic AI.Time Stamps00:49 — Dave introduces Greg Clark02:43 — Clark's 20+ year journey07:14 — Defining information readiness08:32 — Importance of understanding data09:58 — Data chaos and pitfalls12:00 — Trust erosion13:29 — Air Canada chatbot case16:22 — Auditability and explainability18:51 — CPD applied to AI governance20:43 — Operational maturity22:53 — JPMorgan's Responsible AI Council25:43 — Security as strategic capability27:35 — Zero trust and data protection30:32 — Mayo Clinic example31:25 — Metrics for buy-in32:50 — Destroy-your-business scenarios34:21 — Trust-first culture36:09 — Human-in-the-loop37:20 — GDPR case38:23 — Final reflectionsTo access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights - https://www.dchatte.com/episode-97-ais-missing-puzzle-piece-why-information-readiness-determines-ai-success/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dchatte/ Website: https://dchatte.com/Books PublishedThe DeepFake ConspiracyCybersecurity Readiness: A Holistic and High-Performance ApproachArticles PublishedRamasastry, C. and Chatterjee, D.

Ep 579 - Labour Negotiations & Job Action Guest: Kevin Howlett By Stuart McNish   Canada Post is in the midst of job action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. They're not on a full strike; instead, they're still delivering mail but not all of it. On September the 15th, the Union implemented a national ban on delivering flyers and neighbourhood mail. This followed an overtime ban in May.   Air Canada just concluded negotiations with flight attendants. After a three day work stoppage that wreaked havoc on the airline and passengers, the attendants were ordered back to work but the union ignored the order, negotiations resumed, and they went back to work. Weeks later, union members rejected the company's offer by 99.1% but they also kept working.    In British Columbia, the BC General Employees' Union (BCGEU)  initiated job action aimed at gaining an 8.25% wage increase over two years. The union's website says, “We escalated job action in several key areas: Public service workers who support B.C. 's mining operations joined the strike. An overtime ban was announced in corrections and sheriff services. As the strike carried on, BC Liquor Store Workers walked off the job and as the job action continued into week eight, 25,000 of the 34,000 Union Members in government jobs were on strike. At the time of recording this interview, there is job action but not a full-out strike.   We invited human resource specialist Kevin Howlett to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the changing nature of labour negotiations and job action.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/ Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

In this episode, we speak with Tamara Vrooman, CEO of Vancouver International Airport (YVR), who shares how the airport has committed to achieving net zero by 2030, and the detailed roadmap they've developed to get there.Vrooman discusses:YVR's accelerated net zero timeline: How they moved from a 2040 target to 2030 by creating a detailed, measurable roadmap with component parts that track progress.Four pathways to net zero: Capital build improvements (including Canada's largest geo-exchange system with over 800 wells), conservation initiatives, sustainable fuels adoption, and comprehensive data monitoring.Airports' role in energy transition: How centrally providing electrification and sustainable energy infrastructure to all airport users creates far greater impact than individual airline or tenant initiatives, positioning airports as critical energy hubs.Building British Columbia's SAF ecosystem: YVR's partnerships with Air Canada, the provincial government, and regional airports to address the SAF supply chain challenge.ACI Level 4+ certification and accountability: Why data-driven accreditation matters for validating progress, enabling peer collaboration, and ensuring return on investment.The SAF supply-demand paradox: Airlines are willing to purchase SAF and demand exists, but inconsistent supply remains the critical bottleneck.Vrooman also shares leadership insights from her past roles, including leading Vancity Credit Union to achieve net zero and serving as British Columbia's youngest female Deputy Finance Minister, where she helped design North America's first carbon tax. If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Christina Cassotis, CEO of Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), who shares her vision for transforming the airport into a sustainable aviation hub.

61 - From authenticity to accountability – what does ethical AI really mean?

Episode 61 – From authenticity to accountability – what does ethical AI really mean?   Hello everyone! Welcome to Blended and, today, we're talking about AI – who isn't?! But we're not talking about efficiency or data-driven decision-making today – we're talking about ethics.         Gabriela Ramos, Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences at UNESCO, has said that “In no other field is the ethical compass more relevant than in artificial intelligence. AI technology brings major benefits in many areas, but without the ethical guardrails, it risks reproducing real world biases and discrimination, fueling divisions and threatening fundamental human rights and freedoms.”   And that's something we all have to take seriously. Whilst many organizations have even excitedly talking about the potential to be found in AI, some have been overlooking the big challenges that come along with it. As AI becomes more intelligent, with some models even taking autonomous action, questions have been raised about what it's actually saying. Job loss and displacement has been a big concern for workers. And AI's huge carbon footprint is a real issue, in a climate where most organizations are attempting to reduce emissions.   As we think about all of these different elements and more, it's clear that ethics are key to the conversations we should be having around AI, and that robust standards are crucial to ensuring healthy, scalable adoption.   So we're going to be diving into that today. Welcome to Corey, Lauren, Noelle and Giselle. Let's get started with some introductions; can you each tell me who you are, what you do and how you identify? Starting with you, Corey.   As always, let's start by laying a bit of groundwork for the discussion. ·       What is ethical AI? ·       Is ethical AI something that's being talked about as much as it should be/as much as we're talking about the potential applications for AI? ·       What are the risks if organizations don't consider ethics in AI?   UNESCO produced the first-ever global standard on AI ethics at the end of 2021 and central to their recommendations were four core values: Ø  Human rights and human dignity Ø  Living in peaceful, just and interconnected societies Ø  Ensuring diversity and inclusiveness Ø  Environment and ecosystem flourishing Ten principles then sit beneath these values, in a human-rights centred approach. Ø  Proportionality and Do No Harm Ø  Safety and Security Ø  Right to Privacy and Data Protection Ø  Multi-stakeholder and Adaptive Governance & Collaboration Ø  Responsibility and Accountability Ø  Transparency and Explainability Ø  Human Oversight and Determination Ø  Sustainability Ø  Awareness & Literacy Ø  Fairness and Non-Discrimination   Obviously we don't have time to do a deep dive into every single principle, but I think it's important to touch on the ideal framework that's being recommended. •      What are your thoughts on these values and principles? •      What do you think they say about collaboration between people and technology? •      Do you see them being applied to the AI you encounter (professional or personal)?   It might be helpful to use a real-life example as a jumping off point to discuss some of these principles. Last year, Air Canada was in the news after its chatbot gave a customer inaccurate information. The airline attempted to distance itself from the technology, there was a lawsuit and, ultimately, Air Canada was ordered to pay compensation. And I think this is a really interesting example to dig into, because it does raise multiple questions about ethics. ·       If the chatbot is ‘responsible for its own actions' as the airline claims: o   Are we expecting AI to be innately ethical/meet human standards?    o   Are we training AI models to do that? ·       Where do the ethical standards lie for the businesses utilizing AI models in this way?   Pretty much all businesses are thinking about how to leverage AI, how to incorporate it more and more into systems and workflows. •      How should organizations be thinking about ethical AI? •      How can they ensure they're applying the right values and principles to new AI projects? •      How can they analyze what they might already have in place to ensure it meets those standards? •      How can they utilize guidelines like UNESCO's and create a tailored framework for their own organization? •      How can they educate teams on the importance of ethical AI? •      How can leaders step up and show accountability and responsibility and ensure AI governance is robust, transparent and managed?      Let's wrap up: can you each give me one take-away, or sum up, from today's discussion?   Thank you so much to Corey, Lauren, Noelle and Giselle for joining me today.   AI is here to stay, so it's time to get serious. According to McKinsey, almost all companies invest in AI, but only 1% believe they're at maturity. So now is the time to really think about what we're doing with AI, where we're going, and really lay the groundwork for a positive future – with ethics at the heart of those foundations.     Remember that you can reach out to me, or any of the guests, on social media if you have anything you'd like to add to what we've talked about today.   And don't forget to join us again next month for another open and authentic conversation around the diversity, equity and inclusion issues that impact every single one of us. I'll see you then.

We talk with a floatplane pilot who flies the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver commercially. In the news, we look at strategies for modernizing the air traffic control system, striking flight attendants and some who wish they could, and a wingsuit accident takes the life of an ICON Aircraft co-founder. Guest John Crawford flies the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver commercially on the Canadian West Coast. He began flying Beavers when he was the Chief Pilot and Operations Manager for a company specializing in floatplane training, where he overhauled the training program. In addition to his full-time flying job, John also has a coaching program that helps pilots get their first flying position without the unnecessary and expensive detour of instructing. He helps student pilots with resumes, job search beyond job ads, interview preparation, and more. John Crawford and the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver. John describes his path to becoming a floatplane pilot, learning to fly, and using taildragger and bush-flying experience. He notes the origin of the Beaver and the challenges of flying a floatplane compared to other aircraft, including obstructions in the water, winds, and docking. John's coaching project started as a proof of concept but has grown to include Canadian, U.S., and international students. We look at his teaching methods, the pattern of floatplane student pilots who do well learning to fly, and how John shows people how to get work. John also provides a valuable perspective on flight instructing in general and how teaching is not for everyone. See John's website, find him on YouTube, and on Instagram. Aviation News The ‘brand new' ATC system might not be as new as you think The National Airspace System today is built on three main software platforms that help transmit flight plan data, collect aircraft position information, and display all of that on the screens of air traffic controllers: the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) used by approach and departure facilities, En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) used by enroute facilities, and the Advanced Technologies & Oceanic Procedures (ATOPs) used by oceanic facilities in California and New York. The FAA said that combining these three protocols into a single common automation platform would be more efficient. That proposal is a pillar of the administration's ATC modernization plan, and it would cost an estimated $31.5 billion. Instead of replacing STARS, ERAM, and ATOPs, FAA chief Bryan Bedford said the agency is exploring a cheaper way to connect the systems that "will look and feel and act exactly the same" as a common platform without actually being one. "There's technology that we can stick in between ERAM and STARS and ATOPs and the user, you know, a new interface. These interfaces actually exist today. We can take that data, we can re-present it across the users of the NAS." US flight attendants are fed up like their Air Canada peers. Here's why they are unlikely to strike Hourly wages for flight attendants can be very low relative to the cost of living. Some can't afford housing in their home base location and must therefore commute from a lower-cost region. Discontent is amplified when FAs are not paid until the cabin door is open. Airline strikes are rare due to the Railway Labor Act of 1926, amended in 1936 to include airlines. For airline workers to strike, Federal mediators must declare an impasse. But even then, the president or Congress can intervene. Air Canada reaches deal with flight attendant union to end strike as operations will slowly restart Ten thousand Air Canada flight attendants went on strike, but that ended with a tentative deal that includes wage increases and pay for boarding passengers.

Labor sociologist Barry Eidlin joins Suzi to discuss the recent Air Canada strike, which has now reached a tentative agreement. The strike began when 10,000 flight attendants, organized in the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), walked off the job on August 16, after months of failed negotiations. The Canadian government responded with its usual move: a back-to-work order under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code — a provision that ostensibly regulates strikes, but is instead used to short-circuit them. But this time, something unusual happened: the workers defied the order, chanting “Forced to fly? We won't comply!” After an all-night bargaining session, they secured a tentative settlement on August 19th — showing what labor can do when it doesn't back down. We talk about the strike, the government response, its outcome, and what it portends. We'll also talk about the differences between Canadian and US unionizing and labor law, strike outcomes, and public policy.
