Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman spearheaded the Chicago School, popularizing free-market ideas that reshaped American conservatism. But Canada has its own counterpart: the so-called “Calgary School,” a loose group of University of Calgary academics whose ideas helped shape this country's right-of-centre movement. Their influence can be seen in the policies and perspectives of conservative leaders ranging from Stephen Harper and Danielle Smith to Pierre Poilievre. In this episode of West of Centre Short, host Rob Brown speaks with Barry Cooper — the last active, original member of the Calgary School — about how this informal group challenged Canada's traditional, "Laurentian" political and cultural mindset.

Earlier in June, the Fair Deal Panel made public its final report to the Alberta government. The stated goal of the panel was to find ways to get Alberta a better deal in the federation, and promote the province’s economic interests along the way. In the recommendations, some of the items are now standard fare for Alberta politics, including the referendum on equalization promised by Premier Jason Kenney. Others, like establishing a provincial police force and withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan, not so much. This week on the podcast, we take a deep dive into the policy and politics of the Fair Deal Panel, and what they tell us about Alberta today, with Trevor Tombe and Melanee Thomas. Trevor Tombe is an associate professor of economics and a research fellow at the University of Calgary School of Public Policy. He’s also the author of the IRPP paper, "An (Overdue) Review of Canada’s Fiscal Stabilization Program," which we discussed on an earlier podcast. Melanee Thomas is an associate professor of political science at the University of Calgary. She’s written several pieces for Policy Options, including one about separatist anger in Alberta and another about Jason Kenney’s focus on Quebec. What’s the deal with fiscal stabilization?: https://options-po.li/2uXBzNk An (Overdue) Review of Canada’s Fiscal Stabilization Program: https://on-irpp.org/38OBr1q Jason Kenney’s case of Quebec envy: https://options-po.li/2KOTiLE As Alberta’s anger deepens, it gets harder to turn off: https://options-po.li/311g0GG

Today, we begin WEEK 4 on DAY 22 of the COVID-19 pandemic. And all indications are that the toughest fight is still to come with Public Health officials telling us we should expect little relief from the isolation and physical distancing measures for months…not weeks. Here’s what you need to know on Wednesday, April 1st, 2020 *Toronto’s top doctor Dr. Eileen de Villa says she wouldn’t expect public health measures will have to remain in place up to 12 more weeks. Despite some “glimmer’s of hope” in some jurisdictions, the numbers continue to rise sharply right across the country… There's been a 500% increase in 14 days…in Toronto alone. Toronto’s Mayor John Tory ordered city events and venues to be canceled and closed in the coming weeks. That includes Pride Week at the end of June. Tory says it only underlines the seriousness of the situation.. The questions of how much and how long…were among the questions posed to Prime Minister Trudeau during his Wednesday morning briefing. *Christopher Nardi at the National Post cites a government document that “Current GoC [Government Operations Centre] modelling suggests as a best case scenario that current measures continue until at least July.” Meanwhile….Ontario’s Premier, Doug Ford says there are 'Dark days ahead': warning little separates the province from devastation we’ve seen in Italy and Spain. Researchers in Calgary also have a warning for you. Beware of the “conspiracy” theories you may see in your social media feeds. A report released by the University of Calgary School of Public Policy suggests Russia is waging a disinformation war and you are the target.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - In recent days we became aware 24% of Albertans are carrying more than $40,000 of non-mortgage debt and 50% are living paycheque to paycheque.  The national numbers concerning financial distress are hardly better. Polling by Ipsos for MNP Ltd., from earlier in 2019, showed that 46% of Canadians are less than $200 away from not being able to pay their debts. That should be a huge concern. Guest: Grant Bazian, President and CEO of MNP Ltd. - Dramatic changes have been made to the U.S. refugee and immigration policy. Canada must prepare itself for the repercussions, according to a new University of Calgary School of Public Policy report.  Immigration expert Robert Falconer has released two reports examining the U.S. retreat from refugee resettlement and the U.S. asylum ban. Guest: Robert Falconer, Author of the reports - Tomorrow's national political party leaders debate and what lies ahead as the parties enter the final two weeks of the campaign. Where can they be aggressive and where must they do damage control? The Beauties and the Beast panel reconvenes to discuss these questions and more. Guests: Catherine Swift, WorkingCanadians.com (former president & CEO at CFIB) Linda Leatherdale, VP of Cambria Canada (former editor MONEY section Toronto Sun) Michelle Simson, Formerr LPM MP & seatmate to Justin Trudeau during Question Period - A report released last year by the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI) found that if refineries in central and Atlantic Canada substituted Canadian oil whenever possible for the foreign oil imported into Canada – and if extending the current transportation system by construction of a new pipeline equal to the cancelled Energy East pipeline – the eight refineries in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland would be able to replace 57% of imported oil at an annual saving of $317 million, while simultaneously cutting GHG's by two million tonnes.   Guest:  Allan Fogwill, CEO, CERI -     IPSOS President and CEO Darrell Bricker joins us to speak to two of his books. The Big Shift which speaks to major shifts in Canada's immigration policies and numbers of immigrants and how that reality affects Canada's political landscape (e.g., many of the newcomers are philosophically conservative.) In Empty Planet, Darrell Bricker makes the argument that the global population is headed for a steep decline and in some countries this has already begun, in contrast to much of the climate change panic being centered on a supposedly very rapidly increasing global population.

The Roy Green Show Podcast U.S. Tax reform is leaving Canadian competitiveness in the dust. A world class group of experts has been assembled by the University of Calgary School of Public Policy, to discuss the federal fiscal update and the danger that Canada is in. Professor Jack Mintz, one of Canada's most respected economists, shares what the group has found through their discussion. The European Union has agreed to a Brexit deal with the U.K., saying it is a one-time only offer. Will British Prime Minister Theresa May be able to sell this deal to a fractious parliament? The Northern Ireland political party supporting May has already indicated it is not interested. And will the current anti-government rioting in France affect the Brexit vote in the U.K.? It has been said that without our guest, Professor Alan Sked, there would be no UKIP, nor referendum and no Brexit. Former Premier of Newfoundlans and Labrador Brian Peckford argues, in his new blog post, that the federal government is destroying our most valuable asset: our national energy reserves. If this is the case, how are the federal Liberals masking it? Brain Peckford explains.

The Roy Green Show Podcast Following the court ruling over the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, we look at the fate of the pipeline and Trudeau's handling of the situation. Our guest Richard Masson, former CEO of the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission, says that what this means for Alberta and Canada's economy is “real sad.” The New York Times published an anonymous op-ed, claimed to be written by an appointed White House senior staffer. It offered a scathing take on U.S. President Trump and also assured that there was a resistance working inside the White House. But will any of this have any long-term effect on Trump or the Republican? And Will the New York Times be viewed differently now, for publishing this piece? 18,000 people recently marched in Paris in support of taking actions in response to climate change. California Governor Jerry Brown will hold a conference in response to Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord. But there is evidence that shows that the Global Carbon Tax would drive up food prices and push an additional 78 million people toward hunger. Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, international economist and environmentalist, discusses this. The Humboldt Broncos begin their new season next week. They are matched up against the Nipawin Hawks in Nipawin, which is where the team was headed last April 6 of this year, when their bus was struck by a truck, resulting in the deaths of 16 people. We check in with Ryan Kessler of Global News Saskatchewan, to find out how the community of Humboldt is doing. Guests: Richard Masson, Executive Fellow at the University of Calgary School of Public Policy, and former CEO of the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission Fran Coombs, Managing Editor of Rasmussen Reports, and former senior editor with the Washington Times Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, international economist and environmentalist, Founder and Director of the Consensus Centre Think Tank in Copenhagen Ryan Kessler, Reporter with Global News Saskatchewan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We produce a lot of oil here in Western Canada. Much more than we can use. So what do we do? We send it to whoever will give us the most money for it. But no one can seem to agree on the best way to maximize the value we get for this natural resource. It’s fairly common to hear people lament the perception that Canada, specifically Alberta with its oil sands developments, ships too much crude oil without first upgrading it to a higher quality product. We sell it for cheap and let others profit. Is this perception true? Are we selling ourselves short? The Government of Alberta might think so, with recently announced financial incentives to build partial upgrading facilities in the province. But that further begs the question of what does partial upgrading even mean? And what does peanut butter have to do with it? In this episode, we’re downloading what everyone’s talking about on upgrading in Alberta. Host: Nick Martin Guests: Kevin Birn, IHS Markit; G. Kent Fellows, University of Calgary School of Public Policy
