Join me, Trevor Freeman, as I explore the traditional, unconventional and up and coming facets of the energy industry. If you have any thoughts, feedback or ideas for topics we should cover, please reach out to us at think energy at hydro ottawa.com, hi everyone and welcome back. We know that we are already in this period of change that we call the energy transition, but this is not a short term thing. We will be in this period of change for years and likely decades to come. And that means that the next generation of energy professionals, so engineers, policy experts, customer focused, people, finance and so on and so on, they might spend their entire careers working on this. So I thought it would be interesting to check in with someone who's just about to enter the workforce to find out how we're preparing that next generation to dive head first into this challenge and hopefully bring innovative and exciting solutions to the table. This is a career and society defining challenge. This is something that we'll be focusing on for many, many years to come. So I really wanted to understand what is that next generation learning. Now I'm sure you'd all agree that what you learn in your formal schooling is only one small part of the knowledge base and skill set that is important for contributing in a meaningful way. I know that the things I became really excited about and passionate about as I was getting through my engineering degree really helped set my course and have led me to where I am today, and definitely was not the course I thought I was on when I started engineering school. And for the record, these things that I became really passionate exciting about weren't, you know, the fluid dynamics and soil mechanics and thermodynamics and all these courses I was taking. It was the concepts and the way of thinking and the things I became passionate about. So all that being said, I'm pretty excited today to talk to my guests about what he has been learning and how he thinks that's setting him up for a career focused on energy. Kieran Graham is in his final year of his degree at Carleton University here in Ottawa, and he's in the sustainable and renewable energy engineering program. I love the fact that we have a whole focus program on clean and renewable energy, that's fantastic. Kieran is the president of the Sustainable and Renewable Engineering Society, and he helps organize academic social and networking events for students in that program and others that are interested in sustainable and renewable energy. He has worked with the apex lab at Carleton, doing research on various carbon capture technologies, and he was also the organizer, or one of the organizers, for the 2026 Ontario Engineering Competition. Kieran Graham, welcome to the show.   Kieran Graham  02:48 Thanks a lot for having me. I'm excited.   Trevor Freeman  02:50 So Kieran, let's start with a little bit of background on your program at University. So you're in the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering program at Carleton University. Tell us a little bit about what that program is and what you focus on.   Kieran Graham  03:03 Yeah, so I will admit it's a little confusing at first, like Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering, the long name, and then we have two streams. So one's called Smart Technologies for Power Generation Distribution, the other one's about efficient energy conversion. So the easiest way to actually differentiate these two is electrical and mechanical. So smart technologies is electrical efficient conversion is a more mechanical. So like, if you have know anything about engineering disciplines, it's electrical and mechanical.   Trevor Freeman  03:35 Gotcha   Kieran Graham  03:36 Also, by the way, SREE is short form for sustainable renewable energy engineering, just to save us some fumbling over our words, in the future, perfect.   Trevor Freeman  03:45 This is a very acronym heavy podcast at time, so I appreciate you spelling that out for us. So when we when we hear SREE, you're talking about the program, gotcha. So give us an idea of, like, what's the focus of the program more broadly?   Kieran Graham  03:58 Yeah, so like, I'm in the electrical stream. So I take a lot of different courses at the beginning, ranging from fluid mechanics, and we take electrical courses like circuits and signals and just Electronics One. But then we also later take courses that are more SREE specific, that are more focused on learning how we are using thermodynamics to then put it through as a turbine and then create that energy. And then, how is it work, specifically with a nuclear power plant, or we even learn a little bit about natural gas, but just for context. And then, how does that differ from generating electricity with wind in a wind turbine. It's pretty similar, but like, how where's the difference? And like, how do we apply that in different scenarios?   Trevor Freeman  04:48 Got you so if I could say that back to you. You know, when I was in energy or engineering school, I learned a lot about those fundamentals. I learned, we know, we did thermodynamics, we did all that kind. Of stuff we just mentioned, but the application to power generation, and the renewable aspect of it, the sustainability side, that was all stuff I learned later in my career. You're building that into your programs. Kind of built that into what you're learning. So you're learning the more traditional engineering side of things, the thermodynamics and how this stuff works, but in the context of power generation, I assume, you know, like application of power generation, like how the grid works, things like that.   Kieran Graham  05:28 Yeah, exactly. So we take a little bits of courses that other programs will take, and then I got, first we're taking those same courses, and then we take other courses that are really specific, and we apply them to sustainable and renewable energy engineering. The other thing is, later in our degree, we also apply things on a more higher level, like energy is kind of like a high level topic. There's so many things that are happening and there's a lot of regulatory and economic aspects to it. So we have to look at, like, the energy market and like, yes, like nuclear fusion is like a great option if it works and if it's economically viable. And you know, nuclear has its own regulatory aspect, so we have that coverage of information and knowledge later in the years.   Trevor Freeman  06:17 Gotcha so. And for our listeners out there who are not kind of engineering nerds like Kieran and I. One of the things how I describe engineering more broadly is that it's sort of a systems thinking approach to things. So understanding, what are my inputs? What's the result of those inputs? What does that mean for the output? What are the feedback loops? And so what I'm hearing you say, Kieran, is that it's bringing that into the energy sector, the energy industry, which is fantastic, like, really exciting to hear that this is, this is what you're learning, and this is what the next sort of generation of engineers is being taught right now. How did you end up in this program? What drew you to this particular field of engineering?   Kieran Graham  07:01 Yeah, so it's a little complicated, because when I applied to university, I knew I wanted to stay in Ottawa, and my parents both went to Carleton. My grandpa worked at Carleton like when it was first established, so I had deep roots there. And in my mind, Carleton is a superior University in Ottawa. I know that's controversial, but, you know, it's okay. But anyways, I applied to three different engineerings at Carleton, and my first choice was actually aerospace engineering, because in high school, it was kind of like a this was the prestige of making aerospace engineering. And I actually got in and my first year I was in aerospace engineering, but at Carleton, first year, engineering is all general. So after first year, I decided that my goals, and I don't want to talk down to my aerospace colleagues, but my morals and my aspirations were more set towards a sustainable and renewable energy engineering focus. So sustainable renewable energy engineering was my second choice going into Carleton, so it's a pretty easy switch in second year, but from my childhood, I had an aunt who worked for Greenpeace Canada and also just learning about sustainability in my house and at school, this just seemed like a natural, good choice.   Trevor Freeman  08:28 My journey, and we won't get into the details of my journey, but it echoes that a lot of kind of having an idea going into engineering school and at some point, realizing that maybe this doesn't line up with my values, or what I want to do, the impact that I want to have. And that kind of gets into my next question of, you know, generally, the engineering profession is built around having an impact, a positive impact on society, on people, and using a, like I said, systems thinking approach to that. That's sort of the bar that we try and live up to. So, you know, you talked about wanting to have an impact. What does that impact me? Or what is having a positive impact mean for you, and how do you see yourself contributing as you're nearing the end of your education, at least formal education side of your undergrad?   Kieran Graham  09:14 Yeah, so I actually just took my engineering professional practices course, which I learned about the code of ethics and how the engineers duty is paramount to serving the public. And I think that actually really resonated with me as much as you know, the course is a lot of just talking about regulatory stuff, it actually was refreshing and good to hear that that's like the regulatory view on what engineering should be, because my personal goals are very much to have a positive and strong impact on society, and specifically like my local community. You know, my family's deeply rooted in Ottawa, so I want to have a good, positive impact. Impact on Ottawa. So I guess when I switched from aerospace to sustainable energy, I decided that, like, there's a climate crisis right now, and I just saw the opportunity to create a large positive impact within engineering, which I was really enjoying and helped solve those problems of having that net zero or clean energy solution, which was being so, like, stressed upon within, like, my whole life,   Trevor Freeman  10:31 That's great, yeah. I mean, it's, it's definitely, in my opinion, and I think this has been echoed a lot on this podcast, is, you know, the energy transition, the climate crisis, and sort of our reaction to that is definitely, the defining challenge of our of our time right now, and certainly, certainly your career, probably moving forward in this field. So looking at the energy transition, what skills or knowledge do you think you've developed throughout the last couple of years in your undergrad that have prepared you to contribute to this. You know, rapidly changing industry that the electricity sector, the energy sector of today is not the same as it was five years ago, and it won't be the same in five years. So coming into it at this point, what do you think you're bringing to the table that's going to help contribute to that?   Kieran Graham  11:23 Yeah. So, I mean, it's the whole point of the program. And you know, people running, I'll shout out Ahmed Abdullah, a professor who's really been heading the SREE  program. And so the, really, the big goal of SREE is like to be multidisciplinary, and being able to approach all the different aspects of this climate crisis and energy transition. You need to be able to understand how, like, I said, like the mechanical thermodynamics and fluid dynamics work, but also understand how a electric generator works, and then how transmission works, and need to understand, like, what's the point of creating solar in the desert, if you have to then transfer it all the way to, I don't know, somewhere in Europe, or something like, those are the large scale aspects that you need to be able to understand. The other thing that's also really important is just having the knowledge of understanding how like load profiles work and how data analysis and understanding like this is what a good load profile looks like. This is a problem like the duck curve or problems like this, like that, we as three engineers really understand, like how these different problems are created, and then how we can fix them and where they're being affected, like the duck curve in California, and like in Canada, we have a winter peaking system. Like all these problems are different, different aspects that we are very knowledgeable on and already have a base understanding of. And I think that's what's really important and helpful going into this industry.   Trevor Freeman  13:04 Yeah, that's great. Has there been a time during your program, during your undergrad, or a project that you've worked on that has really kind of changed the way you view energy or the electricity grid, or open your eyes to something that you weren't aware of before, really kind of, yeah, drove your passion for it?   Kieran Graham  13:27 Yeah, so, you know, there's been many problems and projects that I've had throughout my degree, and you know, the view and impact on my motivation has been very hopeful and very doubtful in equal amounts. But I would say maybe more helpful hopeful in the in the future, just because sometimes in school, things get a little stressful and blow up in proportion. But I'd say my biggest hopeful, I guess, and changing my my view of things would be my capstone project. So the capstone project that I'm working on currently is focusing on a net zero 2050 Ottawa. And how are we going to prepare for that? How are we going to handle the generation for that? How are we going to get energy places? How are we going to handle the winter peaks of electrifying, heating. How are we going to deal with EVs? It's a never ending puzzle slash scavenger hunt of finding data and how do things work together? How do we piece it together? Yeah, it's been a great challenge, but also really opened my eyes up to how all these, these different sectors that I've been learning about in my degree, how do these all work fit together and solve a problem.   Trevor Freeman  14:52 Great, yeah, and that's exactly where I want to go next. So, so I'm glad you brought up your capstone project. Just a quick backgrounder for our listeners. A part of an engineering undergrad in Ontario, at least, I think across Canada, is a final year project which is known as the capstone project. So the idea of the capstone project is it's supposed to be a culmination of all the different sort of theoretical things you've learned in your degree, bringing all that knowledge together and giving the students a chance to apply that in some real world scenarios. So, you know, it's interesting, Kieran, to know that your capstone was looking at what does a net zero 2050 reality look like for the City of Ottawa? Because the City of Ottawa has a 2050 Net Zero target, 2040 actually, for the corporation of the City of Ottawa, and 2050 for the community. And there's, there's lots of moving parts to that. It's a real world thing that's happening that a lot of folks are working on. So I'd like to dig into that a little bit more with you and find out. And I know you're not quite finished it yet, so you're not going to have all the answers, but you know what? What are some of the things that you're looking at? What are some of the must do's for us as society and us as a city and all the stakeholders involved if we're going to to achieve that net zero reality?   Speaker 1  16:17 Yeah, so we are a group of, I think, 18 or 19 different undergraduates for all, hopefully graduating at the end of the semester. And so this project is happens every year for the past, like four or five years, I think, and we're the third year focusing on Ottawa. So there's been a lot of things covered. And honestly, at the beginning of the project, we were like, how could we possibly have a third year of material to study? And I think now that we're approaching the final we're realizing how much there is to look at, and maybe we'll have some notes for next year saying, like, there really is a million things that we could look at in this scope. Like, it's just a really big scope, but we have, like, a buildings team, an energy storage team, a nuclear team, a solar team, and a transportation team, and I'm on the integration team, so my job is really just trying to put things together from all the different sub teams who are focusing on very specific things, and Specifically I'm the integration team lead. So I'm focusing on load prediction. So like, in 2050 what's the load that we're going to need to have? And that really, including working with transportation and buildings and understanding how, like, the EVS and the heat pumps and electrified heating are we going to have district heating, like, how is all this going to affect our 2050 load.   Trevor Freeman  17:46 And so what are some of those strategies? Like, the things you mentioned are bang on. That's of course, the things that are going to drive our demand. Are you looking at providing that additional capacity? You know, with local generation, what's the what's the strategy there? How do we have enough energy and have enough clean energy in order to meet that growing demand that you've identified?   Kieran Graham  18:10 Yeah, so that's like the big problem, right? So I'm doing load prediction, and then we have teams like nuclear and solar. And past years we've had wind teams, and I think there was a biofuels team as well past years, and we put all this data, kind of on two sides, and then we feed it through an optimization software that someone is working on in my team, and it's going to look at economically, how competitive something like solar or nuclear or wind or hydro, I guess would be looking within Ottawa like, how do all these compare? And it's all really about economics. When you're looking at it like, which is feasible because there's lots of cool technologies, like I mentioned earlier, but it's optimizing for cost, and then we're finding a low profile, and then ultimately, we want to run it through a software called eTap, which basically is like a digital twin for looking at energy load flow analysis and making sure the grid can actually handle this 2050 load.   Trevor Freeman  19:16 And so you've identified kind of the technology challenges and solutions. I'm glad to hear you talk about like, you know, the economics have to make sense. Of course, there are technologies out there that, yeah, if there was unlimited resources, it would solve our problems. What about the sort of, I guess there's sort of two streams here. There's the regulatory, or let's call it the political side, the enabling aspects of, how do we get this technology that makes sense and has a business case? How do we get that deployed, more deployed faster, you know, more broadly, how do we do that? Did you look at the sort of regulatory, political side of things?   Kieran Graham  19:56 Yeah, so in our capstone, we don't necessarily look. At it super specifically, like we're not necessarily looking at how regulations would affect it, but it's more we're going to be looking at scenarios of, if we have 100 per cent EV adoption in 2050 what is the load going to look like? But you know, the changing of the federal EV mandate, how is that going to look at change the load projection, and then, how is that going to affect our generation? Like, what do we like if we have huge peaks our nuclear teams generation, which won't necessarily be able to ramp as fast as something like a battery storage or or like a hydro dam, or something like these. These are the complications that we're looking at, not necessarily super focused on regulation, but keeping it as like a guiding prospect of, should we be considering 100 per cent EVs, like, is that really a realistic goal for 2015 at this point?   Trevor Freeman  20:59 Yeah. And I guess it's kind of the same thing. And so maybe the answer is similar, but it's this the societal side of things too. And so yeah, like, from a technology perspective, it would be great if we hit that 100 per cent EV coverage by 2050, if not sooner. We know that that's a big source of emissions. It'd be great if we could do sort of like mass heat pump deployment. But at the end of the day, people, you know, we're relying on individuals within our society to make those decisions, and so one aspect of this is, how do we help that be the right decision? And how do we help people want to do this? Because it is the smarter choices. Has that conversation come into the project, and it's okay if it hasn't, I know there's obviously a limited scope of the project. Scope of the project, but is that something that you guys are talking through?   Kieran Graham  21:52 Yeah, I think that's something that we are always like talking about as, like a bunch of young engineers who are really looking to understand the industry. And, you know, making sure these things actually happen is always kind of on our mind, like, what's the point of us doing all this work? And, you know, stressing ourselves till two and two in the morning getting our work done or getting ready for a presentation. It's like, why are we doing all of this? I think you know, the aspect of community involvement and the regulatory and making it make sense is part of our job. Like, yes, that maybe our focus isn't necessarily on making it all make sense for the public, but it's, it's something that we have to consider. Like, if it's not economically and like socially viable, then isn't there's no there's no point. Like, it's just not, not a proper engineering solution. So I think ultimately, it's not something that we're focusing on, but something that we talk about all the time, that like, like we go to community events and kind of learn about what people's like outlooks are on, on all these different problems. And would people be okay with having battery systems and solar systems on their house, and would they be okay with using those, as you know, distributed energy resources that can feed back to the grid? Would people be okay with bi directional charging on their EVs like these are big batteries that could be used for different things. Like these aren't necessarily direct considerations of our capstone, but something that we keep in mind when we're trying to create a solution.   Trevor Freeman  23:26 Yeah, great. And I'm glad to hear you say that, and I'm glad it's part of the conversation. It's certainly, it's certainly a huge aspect of how we actually deploy these strategies and solutions and how we develop them. It's a big part of you know what I get to do at Hydro Ottawa, being on the customer side of things, is listening to our customers and understanding what their realities are, and trying to find ways of okay, well, how does that match up with programs or opportunities that we have to be able to run. So really glad to hear that you're talking through that the challenge of decarbonizing our energy mix. So going from sort of like fossil fuel combustion energy generation to a cleaner solution is really only one challenge that's facing the energy sector. I'm sure you're aware, you've brought up things that are causing an increase in demand, but we're also seeing, you know, non-climate related drivers of increased energy demand. So I'm thinking about, like, AI proliferation and data center growth and all these things. Is that part of the calculus that goes into your project. Are you thinking of, how do we also meet this growing energy demand for non-climate related reasons?   Kieran Graham  24:48 Yeah. I mean, you know, understanding the energy mix, and you know, the load for the future is really difficult, and I know that's my whole job, but you know, if I had an A plus answer, I. Wouldn't have to worry about capstone for the next couple of months. But you know, all these considerations I'm thinking about, so like when I'm getting buildings data from the commercial sector and the residential sector, industry is not very big in Ottawa as an electrical load, at least, but I need to look at that for load prediction, because maybe industry load is going to increase with data center, like, where does that fall under the data the energy split, I know like Kanata Tech Center, like, that's going to be growing, and that's a big energy load, and I know it's a big stress on distribution systems, and the feeders over there struggling, and I know Hydro Ottawa is planning to upgrade those locations. But how can we maybe predict that, like data center or data center like load in Canada, that? How can we deal with that in different way, like adding a battery system over there, or maybe generation closer to there, which just stress the overall grid less.   Trevor Freeman  26:05 Yeah, I think it's in, you know, for our non-Ottawa listeners, Kanata is a part of the city that has a high concentration of, sort of the high tech sector. It's, it's certainly a growing area in Ottawa, and one of our constrained areas on the grid that we're investing in and bringing a lot additional capacity to in the coming years. So those challenges that you identified, how do we deal with, not only this energy transition from a clean technology perspective, but also a changing economic demographics like we're seeing more investment in these areas, and how do we make sure that we're keeping up. So yeah, that's definitely, definitely a part of it. So one of the goals of the podcast is definitely to make sure the message is clear that the energy transition is not something of the future. It's not something that will happen eventually. We're in it right now. We're seeing the change to our to the way we use energy, and the way we produce energy and move and store and all those things. So is there something that's happening now, you know, within the energy space that you're particularly excited about that you've, you've kind of learned about in the last little while that you want to get involved in when you when you graduate?   Kieran Graham  27:16 Yeah, so my whole degree is about this. So there's so many different aspects that I could talk about in that I'm interested in. And specifically to my capstone, machine learning is a big field in pretty much anything like machine learning and AI will be involved in any sort of capacity, in any industry. I'm sure. The problem with my specific application is I'm trying to predict 2050, load, and our load for the past few years hasn't really been increasing. Due to efficiency, and there was covid and different aspects like that. And so how do we apply that, and what, what kind of way is really interesting. But another thing that I'm really interested in is virtual power plants and stuff like micro grids. And how does all these, these little DERs and non-wire solutions, how do all these these work together? And how can we, like as a community, work with our So, like solar on our houses, or battery systems in our houses, our EVs, our bidirectional charging, as I mentioned earlier, like how, how could these technologies work together to really reduce the stress on the distribution system for you guys at Hydro Ottawa? And how could everything work together? And you see it happening in California. It's like being tested. If I think Ottawa would just be a great place for this, because of the nature of everyone having cars and everything's everyone has big, pretty big houses. We can have solar on our roofs, like, yes, we have a winter but which has less sunlight, but solar is still incredibly viable and useful. So how can all of this work together and become a virtual power plant that one house has energy and you know, the generations not able to keep up, or the distribution system is failing for whatever reason, you can rely on a community which has battery systems or generation systems just locally. How can we use that to then power each other's houses? I think that's really cool, a future thing that really looking forward to.   Trevor Freeman  29:26 Yeah, it's, it's definitely something that gets talked a lot about, and, you know, in the industry in general, but even, you know, at Hydro Ottawa, looking at, how do we leverage, you know, this is what you're talking about. How do we leverage customer owned devices, customer equipment, to help manage grid capacity needs. So if we're in a time of increased demand on the grid, how do we make calls out to people that have batteries, people that have EVs, that are plugged in, people that have smart devices in their home, and say, Hey, we need a little bit of capacity. We're going to ask you to draw from your battery instead of the grid, or we're going to ask you to pause your EV charging, or turn your thermostat down a degree in order to generate that capacity on the grid. And it's, it's not even so much, you know, it's, it's not that the grid is failing and able to keep up. It's otherwise we would have to build a much bigger grid. We'd have to invest more in the grid. This lets us be more efficient with how we invest in the grid and how we build out so we can sort of not over build, which traditionally what we do is we kind of build the worst case scenario. What? What would we do if that worst case scenario wasn't as bad, if we could pull on these, these other customer owned equipment? So yeah, very cool concept, and definitely something that we're looking at here at Hydro Ottawa, and have a couple pilots coming up on that.   Kieran Graham  30:53 Yeah. And I just wanted to say, like earlier, you're mentioning, like, how do we work on, how do we solve these solutions of net zero within a community, I just think, like the adoption and community incentives and how do we work together? Like, these are the solutions. These are, these are the things that if we as a community decide to do, it's just a very viable thing. It's just we need to be able to work together as a community to be able to do it.   Trevor Freeman  31:22 Yeah, so, you know, we've been talking a little bit about a different approach to energy and that community approach. I really like that based on on what you know from your studies and your experience in this area. What do you think the utility of the future looks like, like? What does that look like to you? What is the role of the utility moving forward?   Kieran Graham  31:47 Yeah, so it's a hard question, because obviously, there's so many things that could happen. And you know, like I was saying, predicting the future is very hard, and I can't just, can't just use machine learning. It's not a pattern. It's not like something that's going to be super predictable. But I do think like the idea of micro grids and working together and distributed energy resources, like all these things are going to be needed to be able to work together. So there's going to be so many little systems and organization, and the utility was going to be the person, kind of, like a mini IESO, I guess, like, how, like, you're going to be controlling, or not necessarily controlling, but organizing. Who's going to be using their DERs, like, which areas are going to need more solar deployment? Where can we integrate vehicle to grid charging? Where can we add more charging infrastructure for communities? Where can we put, like, community batteries, like, more of like an organizer of even smaller systems within the community. I think that's just the nature of technology is going to be, come more complicated, but we're also going to become more proficient and be able to organize those things. So, yeah, I guess that's, that's what I view the future of utilities.   Trevor Freeman  33:17 Yeah, it's, it's a little bit, you know, lots of, lots of, lots of concepts. There it's, it's getting a little bit closer to the end user when it when we look at, how do we operate the grid? So right now, you brought up the IESO, that's our Independent Electricity System Operator who operates on the provincial level. I think the future is that that that level of operation gets a little bit closer to the end user, and that the local distribution companies like Hydro Ottawa have more control to identify where does the grid need extra capacity? Where does it have capacity that we can shift? And that's all happening at the same time as technology is giving us more insight into that. We're having we're going to have more understanding of what's happening down at that granular level. So we're going to be able to make these calls a little bit better. So, yeah, I think, I think you're on the right track. I think that's, that's where we're going. We're going to more of a bidirectional flow of energy, a little bit more closer to the end user control over how the grid is operated.   Kieran Graham  34:20 Yeah, and in our classes, we learn about, like in Europe, how they have bidirectional charging and generation. In like Germany, people have solar panels on their balconies everywhere, and it the solar penetration like Germany, a lot of parts of Germany are on the same latitude as us. So it's like, it's not infeasible for like Ottawa, to have solar everywhere and have that be part of the grid, and not just for your own benefit or anything like that. Like, it's a, it's a real possibility.   Trevor Freeman  34:51 Yeah, yeah. I think there's, there's lots of things that we can do to really improve, to really leverage the devices that are out there, to leverage. Opportunities that we have in front of us. So, Kieran, as we kind of get close to the end of our conversation here, are there any words of wisdom that you'd like to share? You know, you're kind of at the end of the beginning of your career journey. Here, you're almost done your undergrad, about to take whatever next steps there are, that's, you know, starting your career or further education. What about you know someone who's maybe at the start of that part of their journey? You know someone that's thinking about wanting to get involved in the energy transition, maybe wanting a career in that space. What words of wisdom would you provide?   Kieran Graham  35:35 Yeah, so I mean, there's plenty of things I would recommend, you know, for young students, and for people similar approaching my situation, I think the biggest thing is just like networking and creating communities. Like, if you're a new student going into school, like, be part of socials. Be part of engineering societies, and or not engineering societies even like you can just any sort of club or sports team, or just have a community of people that you can really rely on to, like, if you're struggling with an assignment or a topic or a certain class, just like, have someone to be able to talk to talk through like that topic, and ultimately, like those connections who are helping you out with things Like, it'll go back, and they'll be like, Hey, do you understand this? You can get help them. And then you have a friendship, you have a connection, you have someone who's maybe going to work in a field that, like, in the future, you'll be able to leverage to get a job. Like, I have people who, you know, I helped in, or probably they helped me more because they were in older years, and they are working at different industries, and I can now talk to them and be like, hey, like, how do you like your new job now that you're in the workforce, and do you have any opportunities that I can, I could look into working for? So really creating that network of people who can help you out with those things, like you don't have to do it alone, and it really just opens your eyes and allows you to have really good conversations and prepare you for the future.   Trevor Freeman  37:08 Yeah, so if I could, if I could just build on that, it's the importance of creating those connections in that community is great for your own learning, your own knowledge, but also for solving problems, like, no problem is solved by a single discipline or a single focus. You know, it's great that you're learning all these tools in your engineering degree, but you know, real problems get solved by a mix of, you know, the engineer folks, the finance folks, the customer side of things, the, you know, societal side of things. So really great advice. Thanks for sharing that with us. So Kieran, we always end our interviews with a series of questions that I ask to all our guests, so I'll dive right into those. What is a book that you've read that you think everyone should read?   Kieran Graham  37:56 Yeah, so a lot of my reading has been textbooks recently, but I think when I have the time I read a lot of dystopian, so I'll say Fahrenheit 451, even though it's a pretty common one, but it's just really good and really relevant to things.   Trevor Freeman  38:10 So yeah, definitely one of those classics that's important for everyone to read or at least be aware of. So same question, but for a movie or a show, what's one that you would recommend everybody?   Kieran Graham  38:21 Yeah, there's plenty of good shows those are a little bit easier to find some time and brain power for, but big Star Wars fan, so I'm going to say Andor, just a really good show, really relevant, really love that show.   Trevor Freeman  38:34 Yeah, fantastic. I agree. And I just so my oldest kid is 12, and I've just got him starting to watch that one. So it's a great. If someone offered you a free round trip flight anywhere in the world, where would you go?   Kieran Graham  38:49 Yeah, another really hard question. I'm going to Peru right after I graduate. So if you guys wanted to pay for that, that would be great.   Trevor Freeman  38:56 It's not an offer. Just to be clear.   Kieran Graham  38:58 No, I know. I would just say, like, maybe I really have been seeing these videos about Kyrgyzstan, like the those, like East Asian or, guess, Western Asia countries like Kyrgyzstan would be really cool.   Trevor Freeman  39:17  Cool. Yeah, very neat. Who's someone that you admire?   Kieran Graham  39:20 Yeah, so I admire plenty of people. I think I'm going to say my grandpa, though. I've always looked up to him and like how he lives his life, and, you know, he's funny, and just like, has really good values. And I think he's just someone who I ultimately, as a person, look up to. And you know, he worked at Carlton, so I don't know it's just like, the future of like, where I would like to see myself.   Trevor Freeman  39:48 Great. Yeah, great answer. And finally, what's something that you're really excited about when it comes to the energy sector, its future, and you have the benefit of being at the very beginning of your career, you get to get involved in this. So what's something you're excited about?   Kieran Graham  39:59 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, I said earlier, like, there's plenty of things, but I'll say virtual power plants again. Like, if we could create a community where we have DERs and are working together micro grids and all of this, like, that would be so amazing. It'd be so cool. So I think that's going to be, that's my thing. I'm super excited for.   Trevor Freeman  40:21 Very cool well, I'm very excited to see you get involved in that, and thanks for your time today. Kieran, it's great to chat with you. It's great to get some insight into kind of what the next generation of engineers are learning and really looking forward to, kind of seeing where you land in short order here and what your career starts to look like. So thanks very much.   Kieran Graham  40:41 Awesome. Thank you very much.   Trevor Freeman  40:43 Take care. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the thinkenergy podcast.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, Bruce Power, and Fidelity Investments Canada.Alright, greetings you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. A special show today. If you're any kind of regular listener to either this podcast or Curse of Politics, you know my brilliant friend and mentor Elly Alboim passed away almost 2 weeks ago.To précis a remarkably accomplished professional life, Elly was a journalist for the CBC for almost a quarter century, before becoming Parliamentary Bureau Chief for TV news and National Political Editor. He was a senior policy and strategy advisor to Paul Martin and Kathleen Wynne.  And a long-time educator in Journalism at Carleton and Principal at Earnscliffe Strategies.I want to remember Elly's life and work today. The kind of man he was. His influence on people, on the country and beyond. With me to do that are 3 friends and colleagues who worked with him, sparred with him, learned from him, loved him:Peter Mansbridge, Keith Boag and Peter Nicholson.2 titans of the CBC. An economist and head of policy. Herle Burly alumni, all.Thank you for joining us.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Originally aired May 25, 2023, this episode is rebroadcast in memory of Elly Alboim: an uncommon mind and a rare presence. Elly was brilliant, incisive, and deeply generous as a mentor and with his counsel. For anyone lucky enough to work with him, Elly was the person who could see the whole board at once. He was the person you wanted to speak last in a meeting because his opinion simply mattered most. This episode captures that gift in full for our audience. Elly died at the age of 78. ***The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, Bruce Power, and AltaGas.***ORIGINAL POD DESCRIPTION: We're bringing together 2 people —  “The Interns” — who mean a helluva lot to me in both a professional and personal sense. As mentors, colleagues, advisors and friends.Elly Alboim and Bill Fox are here!Both Elly and Bill are now 2-time Herle Burly guests. An honorific I'm assuming will go right to the top of their CVs. But listen up to their bona fides: Elly was a journalist for the CBC for almost a quarter century, before becoming Parliamentary Bureau Chief for TV news and National Political Editor. He was a senior advisor to Paul Martin as well as Kathleen Wynne. Today he's an Associate Professor of Journalism at Carleton and a Principal at Earnscliffe Strategies. And he wrote a fantastic piece on today's topic, called “Eliminating the CBC”, which you can check out at Air Quotes Media. Bill began as working journalist and became Ottawa and Washington bureau chief for The Toronto Star. He then turned his eye toward politics as Director of Communications for Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Today, he's got about 18 academic degrees from small shops like Harvard and Carleton, and he's a leading analyst of media and communication. His latest book is “Trump, Trudeau, Tweets, Truth: A Conversation” which is a fantastic read.We're going dive into a topic that's become quite the political battleground over the last little while: The role and importance of CBC news … How the news division is performing … the case for dismantling … other legitimate journalistic alternatives … but first, media coverage of China election interference.

In this sermon, guest speaker Carleton Maybell delivers his first message at Agape Love Word Prayer and Faith Family Ministry, focusing on making the gospel plain and understandable.

Summary This conversation with two of Canada's foremost police researchers, Dr. Nick Carleton and Dr. Craig Bennell, delves into the complexities surrounding police use of force, moral injuries to officers and their families, and the impact of context-void media narratives on public perception. The topic of the conversation centers around a recent research paper by Dr. Carleton and colleagues titled “A Contextualized Assessment of Duty-Related Bodily Harm Associated with Canadian Police Officers” published in 2025 by FACETS. This discussion highlights the need for better data and understanding of duty-related bodily harm, comparing police errors to those in healthcare. The speakers emphasize the importance of context in evaluating police actions and the challenges faced in changing the narrative around policing in Canada. This is a clarion call to police leadership and those with influence to shape the role of policing in society to stand up and take action.Takeaways• 51% of the public supported defunding the police in 2020.• Police officers often face moral injury due to public perception.• The media plays a significant role in shaping narratives about policing.• Duty-related bodily harm is defined as harm caused by police while on duty.• Comparative analysis shows police errors during use of force events are significantly lower than healthcare errors.• Public understanding of police use of force is often based on misconceptions.• Media coverage often lacks context, shapes incorrect conclusions and leads to negative perceptions of police.• Police officers are often the last line of defense in social crises.• There is a need for a multi-pronged approach to improve public perception of policing.

It's a wrap for the Conservative Party Convention in Calgary. Leader Pierre Poilievre secured an 87.4 per cent vote of confidence. Now that he's won over the delegates, the focus for him and the party becomes winning over Canadians. West of Centre host Kathleen Petty is joined this week by two Conservative insiders who were also at this weekend's convention. Amber Ruddy, Alberta's national councillor for the Conservative Party of Canada and a vice-president at Counsel Public Affairs; and Ian Brodie, a University of Calgary political scientist, senior advisor at New West Public Affairs, and former chief of staff to prime minister Stephen Harper.They muse about when Canadians might next go to the polls and whether the Conservatives are ready (they are); how much more explicitly Poilievre and Alberta's premier will have to speak about the spectre of separatism if momentum continues to pick up in Alberta and Quebec (much, much more); and where Poilievre might run in the next election (Carleton again?! One panelist thinks so). Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Ian Brodie, Amber RuddyProducer: Diane Yanko

Some programs only make sense later.I finished my BA at Carleton University 35 years ago and, like most students, I was just happy to be done. But about 10 years later, I realized how formative the Mass Communication experience really was in shaping how I think about media and digital literacy, democracy, information, and the power of a national story.That's why it was so interesting to sit down with Zach Landry, who's just wrapping up his four years at Carleton, to hear how the program looks from the student lens right now.Full conversation here:YouTube: https://youtu.be/Mm8ZWeg02a8​Spotify: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/Zgx9HfzUBZb​What did you think your education gave you at the time, and what do you see differently now?

Brisa Carleton joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her debut novel, LAST CALL AT THE SAVOY, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. The inspiration for the book came when Brisa was visiting The Savoy Hotel in London more than a decade ago. She saw a footnote about Ada Coleman in a cocktail menu and was surprised that so little information existed about her. Ada was a prominent mixologist at the hotel from 1903 to 1925, and she invented many cocktails, including the "Hanky Panky." Brisa discusses writing a dual timeline for the book: the historical story about Ada and the modern one featuring Cinnamon Scott, an aspiring New York writer who travels to London to help her pregnant sister, Rosemary, at The Savoy. An award-winning Broadway producer with three Tony wins to her credit, Brisa also talks about her role as a producer and how it differs from being a writer.

✨I had the absolute best time chatting with Broadway queen and debut author Brisa Carleton about her dazzling novel, Last Call at the Savoy.

Every November, the aroma of sizzling pancakes and sausage fills the air in Winchester, Virginia, signaling the arrival of the much-anticipated Winchester Kiwanis Community Pancake Day. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Kevin Brandiff, Executive Director of Froggy's Closet, and Carleton Rio, Co-chair of the event, to explore how this beloved tradition does more than just serve breakfast—it strengthens the fabric of the community. Froggy's Closet: More Than Just Supplies Kevin passionately describes the mission of Froggy's Closet, an organization founded in 2009 to support foster families and, over time, all families in need. The nonprofit provides everything from cribs and strollers to clothing, diapers, and books, ensuring that children from birth to age 18 have what they need. As the need in the community grows, so does Froggy's reach, thanks in part to the generosity of local residents and events like Community Pancake Day. Kiwanis Club: Serving Children, Supporting Causes Carleton explains that the Kiwanis Club of Winchester has a clear objective: to support organizations that benefit children. Each year, the club selects a major beneficiary for the spring and fall Pancake Day. This fall, Froggy's Closet is the recipient. The event not only raises funds but also awareness, giving organizations like Froggy's a platform to share their story and needs with the broader community. Behind the Scenes: Organizing Pancake Day Transitioning to the logistics, both guests highlight the teamwork and dedication required to pull off such a large event. With seasoned volunteers and a well-oiled committee, the Kiwanis Club ensures that everything runs smoothly—from flipping thousands of pancakes to brewing coffee in cauldrons and serving up 2,000 pounds of sausage. The event serves as a reunion for locals, a place where old friends reconnect and new friendships are forged. Giving Back: How the Community Can Help Moreover, Pancake Day is about more than just food. Attendees are encouraged to bring donations—monetary or in-kind, such as wipes, board games, and clothing—to support Froggy's Closet. The funds raised not only benefit the main recipient but also trickle down to other local organizations, amplifying the impact across Winchester and surrounding counties. A Lasting Impact As the conversation wraps up, Janet, Kevin, and Carleton reflect on the deeper meaning of Pancake Day. It's a celebration of service, tradition, and the power of community. Whether you're a first-time attendee or a seasoned volunteer, everyone leaves with a sense of belonging and the knowledge that their participation helps children and families thrive. Winchester's Kiwanis Community Pancake Day is more than a fundraiser—it's a testament to what a caring, connected community can achieve. Through the combined efforts of dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and passionate leaders, Pancake Day continues to make a difference, one plate at a time.

Two hundred and ten names, and one of them is Pierre Poilievre. The Battle River-Crowfoot byelection in Alberta isn't just about who wins one seat. It's about what kind of democracy Canadians want.The Conservative leader is trying to return to Parliament after losing his longtime seat in the Ottawa riding of Carleton. But he's facing a record-breaking protest —hundreds of candidates, most are backed by an electoral reform group, trying to make a point about how our system works, or doesn't. Some call it a mockery. Others say it's a wake up call. Either way it's testing the rules, the voters, and the future of Canadian politics.Our question: Why does the Pierre Poilievre byelection matter to you? What does it say about Canadian politics?

« Informer à l'heure de la post-vérité » était le sujet d'une table ronde du 3e Festival international du journalisme de Carleton-sur-mer, au Québec, mi-mai 2025. L'atelier des médias propose un compte rendu des échanges qui réunissaient une universitaire et trois directeurs de médias francophones canadiens. Il a été question d'intelligence artificielle, de régulation des plateformes ou encore de la notion de confiance.  Marie-Ève Carignan est professeure titulaire au Département de communication de l'Université de Sherbrooke et cotitulaire de la chaire Unesco en prévention de la radicalisation et de l'extrémisme violents. Elle a aussi aussi été responsable des communications et analyste au Conseil de presse du Québec. Marc Gendron est éditeur chez Le Soleil et directeur principal croissance numérique des Coops de l'information Luce Julien est directrice générale de l'information à Radio-Canada depuis 2018. Brian Myles est le directeur du quotidien Le Devoir depuis 2016 mais il y travaille depuis trois décennies. Il a enseigné le journalisme à l'UQAM, de 2000 à 2016. Il a aussi été président de la Fédération professionnelle des journalistes du Québec (FPJQ) de 2009 à 2013. Marie-Ève Carignan commence par rappeler que la post-vérité est un concept qui, bien qu'il ait été le mot de l'année du dictionnaire Oxford en 2016, ne fait pas l'unanimité parmi les chercheurs. Ce terme est apparu pour décrire une ère où l'on accorde moins d'importance aux faits et à l'information factuelle, et davantage aux émotions et aux croyances personnelles. Une époque du « tout se vaut ». Les évolutions technologiques, notamment la démocratisation d'Internet, l'explosion des réseaux sociaux et l'intelligence artificielle (IA), ont eu un impact sur le secteur des médias, ces derniers ayant perdu leur « centralité » dans la diffusion de l'information. Aujourd'hui, « n'importe qui peut devenir un créateur et surtout un diffuseur de contenu », et sur l'espace numérique, « on est presque tous à armes égales », explique Marc Gendron, du quotidien Le Soleil. Les théories du complot, auparavant confinées à des cercles restreints, peuvent désormais être diffusées à grande échelle et atteindre des personnes sensibles à ce type de propos. L'IA a encore amplifié ce phénomène, permettant l'existence de « fermes à fausses nouvelles ». Cependant, Brian Myles, directeur du quotidien Le Devoir, rappelle que « le premier facteur de désinformation, c'est un être humain », soulignant que la désinformation précède largement la révolution numérique. Pour lui, l'enjeu de notre époque est le passage de l'insulte « fake news » appliquée aux médias traditionnels à « un empire de fausses nouvelles » qui a engendré une « communauté qui est dans la croyance pour ne pas dire dans la crédulité », menant à une ère où « ce n'est plus je pense donc je suis, c'est je le pense donc c'est vrai ». Il précise que des études montrent qu'une personne sur quatre s'informe désormais sur les réseaux sociaux, et la moitié des personnes interrogées dans ces études considèrent Facebook comme « très crédible », alors que la plateforme a été un puissant véhicule de désinformation. Le blocage des contenus d'actualité sur Facebook et Instagram au Canada depuis le 1er août 2023, riposte de Meta à une loi canadienne obligeant le géant américain à payer les médias pour reprendre leur contenus, a eu des impacts mitigés. Un tiers des Canadiens ne sauraient même pas que les contenus d'actualités sont bloqués sur ces plateformes, rappelle Marie-Ève Carignan. À l'inverse, Brian Myles qualifie ce blocage de « bénédiction », car cela a poussé les utilisateurs à chercher directement l'information, apportant plus de trafic direct et d'abonnements numériques pour son média. À écouter aussi«L'ère de la post-vérité»: le regard d'un économiste sur les effets du capitalisme numérique Face à ces défis, plusieurs pistes de solutions ont été proposées pour continuer d'informer à l'ère de la post-vérité : Rétablir la confiance : Brian Myles insiste sur le fait que la confiance est le bien le plus précieux des journalistes. La transparence est essentielle : sur les méthodes, la structure de propriété, la séparation entre faits et opinions, l'admission et la correction des erreurs. Il faut également des journalistes de terrain qui reflètent la réalité des gens, des médias capables de connecter avec leur public et des espaces de rétroaction intégrants le lecteur. Développer les communautés et la proximité : Marc Gendron souligne l'importance de réinvestir dans des espaces de commentaires modérés sur les environnements propres (sites et applications) des médias pour créer un engagement et une communauté autour des contenus. Il faut que les médias de proximité aillent sur le terrain, fassent écho aux préoccupations des gens pour rétablir un lien de confiance fondamental. Le dialogue social : Marie-Ève Carignan mentionne des projets mettant en relation des personnes aux croyances radicalement opposées (par exemple, sur l'immigration ou le changement climatique) pour encourager l'écoute et l'ouverture aux différentes opinions. Des méthodes comme l'« entretien motivationnel » ont montré leur efficacité pour amener les gens à réfléchir à leurs valeurs et potentiellement modifier leurs croyances, notamment en santé publique. L'éducation aux médias : Marie-Ève Carignan et Luce Julien insistent sur le potentiel de l'éducation aux médias (EMI). Des projets pilotes ont montré que les participants comprennent mieux le fonctionnement des médias et sont plus ouverts aux sources d'information, mais ces initiatives manquent de financement et de structuration uniforme.  La régulation des plateformes numériques : Le problème de l'économie des médias en crise est que la création de contenu dédié à chaque réseau social n'est pas rentable, car les médias sont « écartés de la chaîne de valeur » et ne tirent pas de revenus de ces plateformes. Brian Myles insiste sur l'absence d'un cadre réglementaire juste pour les plateformes numériques. Il affirme que les plateformes ne sont ni de simples compagnies de technologies ni des médias traditionnels, mais un « entre-deux ». Il suggère que des actions judiciaires antitrust aux États-Unis, visant à démanteler des géants comme Google et Facebook, pourraient potentiellement « régler l'enjeu pour nous tous ». Le rôle des gouvernements : Marie-Ève Carignan considère l'information comme un « bien public » qui coûte cher à produire et devrait être financé par le gouvernement par le biais des taxes, et non pas seulement par l'abonnement. Brian Myles s'inquiète de la « montée des gouvernements populistes qui arrivent avec un agenda de remise en question des institutions médiatiques » et qui « vont laisser le mensonge investir l'espace d'élaboration des politiques publiques », ce qui est « profondément dangereux dans une démocratie ». Malgré ces défis, Luce Julien offre une note d'espoir, affirmant que « l'industrie va mal » financièrement, mais que « on fait du meilleur journalisme qu'on en faisait il y a plusieurs années », avec par exemple de nombreux médias réalisant du journalisme d'enquête de qualité. Elle encourage les citoyens à « poser des questions aux médias » s'ils doutent d'un reportage, soulignant l'importance du lien direct avec le public.

Aux États-Unis, le terme « crunchy moms » a longtemps été associé à des mères démocrates, hippies et partisanes d'une vie plus holistique et naturelle pour leurs enfants. Depuis quelques mois, l'élection du nouveau ministre de la Santé RFK Jr., qui fait débat, notamment pour ses théories complotistes, a mis en lumière un nouveau type de « crunchy moms » qui le soutiennent : elles sont chrétiennes, conservatrices, anti-vaccination, en faveur de l'école à la maison et surtout en lutte contre un système dominé par les grandes industries agro-alimentaires. De notre correspondante dans le Michigan, Margot GuicheteauJenny vit à Carleton, une petite ville de campagne à l'ouest de Detroit. Coiffeuse deux jours par semaine, elle consacre le reste de son temps à sa fille de deux ans, Faye, qui court, cet après-midi, dans la maison, bible à la main. La jeune maman a décidé de ne pas vacciner son enfant, lit les ingrédients de tout ce qu'elle achète, et se laisse guider par sa foi pour prendre ses décisions. Elle cite un verset qui l'inspire au quotidien : « Elle travaille avec dévouement, elle prend soin de sa famille, et veille à ce que chacun soit vêtu. Je pense que beaucoup de ces valeurs me poussent à servir ma famille. »Même son de cloche avec Ashley, mère de trois enfants, qui se rend fréquemment au Community Center de Brighton, un grand centre catholique offrant de nombreuses activités où elle peut retrouver ses amies et laisser ses enfants jouer. Diagnostiquée à 21 ans de la maladie de Hashimoto, elle est convaincue que le système est responsable de la hausse des maladies : « Six Américains sur dix souffrent d'une maladie chronique. La génération de mes enfants est la plus malade de l'histoire, alors où allons-nous à partir de là ? Où serons-nous dans cinq ans si nous n'agissons pas ? Je pense que RFK Jr. (Robert Francis Kennedy Jr.), que je suis depuis longtemps, pose les bonnes questions. C'est son moment donné par Dieu, et je crois qu'il va résoudre la crise sanitaire dans notre pays. »« Crunchy moms » ont foi en RFK Jr.Martha, de Northville, a grandi dans une famille démocrate et athée. Aujourd'hui, elle a changé de bord. Ici, dans sa grande maison de campagne, elle fait école pour ses cinq enfants vifs d'esprit, qui s'amusent à tous les étages. Pour elle, ce mouvement est plutôt un facteur d'unification. « Le mouvement "crunchy" réunit en réalité libéraux et conservateurs, car le pays est tellement divisé. J'espère que cela nous permet de trouver un terrain d'entente, en réalisant que nous partageons des valeurs communes. »Si les « crunchy moms » ont foi en RFK Jr., le corps médical reste sceptique. Au DMC, l'hôpital de Detroit, Rachael Hone, pathologiste, pense que ces « crunchy moms » manquent d'informations : « Les vaccins sont la meilleure des préventions. J'ai peur de voir les progrès réalisés dans le domaine de la santé annulés à cause de personnes qui ne se font pas vacciner. Il faut qu'un certain pourcentage de la population soit vacciné pour que ces vaccins fonctionnent, donc si de plus en plus de gens choisissent de ne pas se faire vacciner, de plus en plus de personnes vont tomber malades, c'est un risque scientifique. »Selon le PEW Center, 31% des républicains affirment aujourd'hui que « les vaccins sont plus dangereux que les maladies qu'ils étaient censés prévenir ». En 2023, seulement 57% des républicains soutenaient l'idée de vacciner les enfants fréquentant les écoles publiques, contre 79% en 2019.À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: l'antivax Robert Kennedy Jr revoit sa position après la mort d'un enfant de la rougeole

What will you leave behind when your entrepreneurial journey ends? It's a question few business owners ask themselves early enough—but one that can transform how you build, grow, and eventually transition your company.In this profound conversation with legacy planner Angelina Carleton, we explore the crucial distinction between simply building wealth and creating a meaningful, enduring legacy. Angelina shares how her observations of successful real estate entrepreneurs who lacked long-term planning led her to pioneer a specialized coaching practice helping leaders craft legacies that reflect their values and vision.The discussion delves into practical strategies entrepreneurs can implement today, regardless of where they are in their business journey. From adopting a "100-year plan" to identifying core values that guide decision-making, Angelina offers a roadmap for thinking beyond quarterly profits. She explains how legacy planning influences everything from business structure to succession planning, highlighting how legal instruments like trusts can protect what you've built while supporting your broader impact goals.Perhaps most valuable are the mindset shifts Angelina describes—moving from success to significance, from control to stewardship, and from outcome-focused to principle-driven leadership. Through examples of successful multi-generational family businesses worldwide, she demonstrates that lasting impact isn't reserved for the ultra-wealthy but is accessible to entrepreneurs at any level who approach their work with intention.Ready to start thinking about your legacy? Angelina concludes with three actionable steps anyone can take today: define your legacy vision (perhaps by writing your own obituary), document and live your values, and invest in your personal development. These foundational practices can transform not just your business's future but your understanding of entrepreneurial success itself.How to connect with Angela?Website: https://www.angelinacarleton.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJZrjhleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHb98js1oWtTnsDlMOWRSV0SlcJby_yAN3TYy2M9jYJPv0pv5DbJmhMW3dw_aem_cOxHCnNzPOBO6yM8Ep4tFQPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/design-your-legacy/id1562218846YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Your-LegacyFacebook: facebook.com/DesignUrLegacyLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/angelinacarletonTwitter: twitter.com/DesignUrLegacy Support the show

Today, we're looking at how discussions surrounding Alberta's potential independence are heating up following Mark Carney's victory and Danielle Smith's announcement that the petition threshold for citizen-driven initiatives will be lowered. Plus, Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet has sparked backlash after boldly claiming that "there's no future for oil and gas" in Quebec and "probably everywhere." And finally, the federal Conservatives are pondering their future after the Liberal minority election result despite getting more of the vote share than any other Conservative party since 1988. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was defeated in his own riding of Carleton by Liberal Bruce Fanjoy. Special Guest: Lise Merle.

Tal y como estaba previsto, Mark Carney, el candidato del partido Liberal y exgobernador del Banco de Canadá (también exgobernador del Banco de Inglaterra), ganó las elecciones federales canadienses celebradas este lunes. Se hizo cargo del partido hace sólo mes y medio en un momento especialmente delicado tras la renuncia de Justin Trudeau, cuya popularidad estaba en mínimos. El hecho es que las encuestas auguraban hasta principios de este año, es decir, hasta la llegada de Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca, que el próximo primer ministro sería el conservador Pierre Polievre. Todos los sondeos de intención de voto desde hace dos años daban una victoria aplastante a los conservadores hasta que en febrero empezaron a invertirse las tornas, una tendencia de la que Carney supo sacar el máximo partido de cara a la campaña. En la recta final Carney sacaba a Polievre una media de dos puntos de ventaja y eso mismo fue lo que le dio la victoria. Los liberales obtuvieron el 43,7% de los votos frente al 41,3% de los conservadores. En términos de escaños eso se tradujo en una ventaja de 24 escaños (169 frente a 144) que Carney extrajo de la caída del Bloque Quebequés y del Nuevo Partido Democrático. Polievre mejoró los resultados de las anteriores elecciones, pero no fue suficiente y, además, él mismo se quedó si su escaño por el distrito de Carleton, en Ontario, que ocupaba desde hace más de veinte años. Carney, por su parte, queda cerca de la mayoría absoluta, que en la Cámara de los Comunes canadiense es de 172 escaños, pero puede acceder a ella mediante pactos con partidos más pequeños y ahora debilitados. Para hacerse con la victoria Carney tuvo que conjurar la impopularidad de Trudeau, a quien supo mantener escondido durante la campaña, y lo hizo mediante la aún mayor impopularidad de Donald Trump en el país. Ha sido en cierta medida Trump quien le ha dado la victoria. Eso lo supo ver desde el principio y jugó esa carta de forma magistral identificando a Polievre como el hombre de Trump en Canadá. Los canadienses están molestos por los aranceles que su vecino ha impuesto al país y por su intención de convertirles en un Estado más de Estados Unidos. Pero los problemas de Canadá van mucho más allá de la inquina que les profesa Donald Trump. El país lleva varios años de estancamiento económico y arrastra algunos problemas acuciantes como una persistente inflación y escasez de viviendas. Ahí Carney trató de hacer ver que él es un tecnócrata cualificado que ha presidido dos importantes bancos centrales. Se mostró ante los votantes como un candidato serio y pragmático, lo que, a su juicio, es lo que necesita Canadá en estos momentos tan difíciles. Sus planes inmediatos pasan por negociar un nuevo acuerdo comercial con Estados Unidos, del que quiere desacoplarse cuanto antes, y acercarse a la Unión Europea, que pasaría a ser el nuevo socio estratégico de Canadá. Lo que haga tiene que hacerlo rápido porque la economía canadiense está sufriendo ya las consecuencias de la guerra comercial. El desgaste parece inevitable, pero Carney parece decidido a intentarlo.

After declaring victory in yesterday's Canadian election, Prime Minister Mark Carney said the “old relationship” with the United States is over. Over the past few months, President Donald Trump's on-and-off tariffs and repeated annexation threats have caused Canadians to reconsider the United States as its leading trading partner and ally. But Patricia Goff, professor of political science at Wilfrid Laurier University, said the idea of disentangling the two economies is unrealistic. On the show today, Goff explains how Trump's tariffs and annexation threats influenced the Canadian election, how Canadian industries are navigating the trade war, and what this all could mean for the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.Plus, we'll hear a pitch for a new “Make Me Smart”-themed rear window sticker. And, what one psychologist got wrong about burnout.
