POPULARITY
Maxime Bernier is the leader of the People’s Party of Canada. After losing an extremely close race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada (roughly equivalent to the Republican Party in the US) by a vote of 49/51, Maxime decided that none of the existing political parties in Canada were addressing the important social and economic issues that Canada is facing. As a result, he formed the People’s Party of Canada, grounded in the principles of freedom, responsibility, fairness and respect. Since doing so, Maxime has brought a refreshing (and critical) honesty and rational thinking to the Canadian political discourse. Maxime is not afraid to speak the truth, despite knowing that it will garner negative reactions from many people, and that the mainstream media and his political opponents will twist his words and mischaracterize him to suit their own ends. It is this courage to speak the truth, regardless of the cost, that interested me in Maxime and caused me to respect and admire him greatly. After hearing him espouse the principles of sound money and a free-market approach to economics, as well as denouncing the ridiculous Keynesian, big-government approach that dominates the world today, I knew I had to speak with him. So I reached out to his team, and was very pleased that they agreed to an interview. We discussed politics, economics, the current corona/economic crises, and finished on a discussion about sound money and Gold vs. Bitcoin:) As far as I can tell, Max is a great guy, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with him.

The group accounts for 85 per cent of world GDP and two-thirds of its population.Much of the important business takes place on the sidelines and in informal meetings.Initially attendance at G20 summits was limited to the finance ministers and central bank governors of members when it was established 17 years ago.But since an inaugural meeting between G20 leaders in Washington DC following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, summits between G20 leaders themselves have become an annual event.The first G20 summit occurred in Berlin, in December 1999, and was hosted by the German and Canadian finance ministers.Since then there have been 20 G20 meetings between finance ministers and central bank governors, and 11 summits between heads of state or government of G20 economies.After the last summit in China, Germany assumed the G20 presidency in December 2016. Although Berlin hosted ministerial-level G20 meetings in 1999 and 2004, the Hamburg event will be the first time Germany has hosted G20 heads of government.The G20 is made up of:ArgentinaAustraliaBrazilCanadaFranceGermanyIndiaIndonesiaItalyJapanMexicoRussiaSaudi ArabiaSouth KoreaTurkeyUnited KingdomUnited States of AmericaChinaSouth AfricaThe final member is the European Union, represented by the European Commission, rotating Council presidency and the European Central Bank (ECB). Spain as a permanent non-member invitee also attends leader summits.Other countries also attend summits at the invitation of the host country, while it has become customary for the Chair of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and representatives of the African Union and NEPAD (New Partnership for Africa’s Development) to be present at leader summits.How often do they meet?Meetings tend to occur on an annual basis; however leaders met twice a year in 2009 and 2010, when the global economy was in crisis.Next year, Buenos Aires will host the gathering as Argentina becomes the first South American nation to host a G20.How does the G20 differ from the G8?The Group of Eight (G8), established as the G7 in 1976 but renamed after the admission of Russia in 1998, is an international forum for the eight major industrial economies. It comprises: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.However, since 2014 Russian membership has been suspended following the country’s annexation of Crimea.The G8 seeks cooperation on economic issues facing the major industrial economies, while the G20 reflects the wider interests of both developed and emerging economies.If you’ve enjoyed what we do here and would like to help us out, there are a few ways.You can donate to the show through www.Patreon.com/orlyradio and get early access to full show content.Make the Algorithm work for us by reviewing us on iTunes to boost our ranking.Use your Words and tell someone about us.And of course, engage us!
