Podcast appearances and mentions of Doug Saunders

Prime Minister Mark Carney met with U.S. President Donald Trump face-to-face in Washington, D.C. for the first time on Tuesday. Tensions between the two leaders' nations are at a historic high: a trade war, escalating tariffs and threats against Canada's sovereignty have all been major issues since Trump's re-election. For many Canadians, the central question in the recent federal election was how the next prime minister would handle U.S. aggression. Carney is now facing that reality.Doug Saunders, The Globe's international affairs columnist, joins The Decibel to analyze the Carney-Trump meeting and what it signals about the Canada–U.S. relationship now.Questions?

After a little more than two days, U.S. President Donald Trump paused the 25 per cent tariffs on Canada and Mexico until April 2. It's not just the tariff whiplash that's causing anxiety – since Trump took office, he's alienated allies, moved closer to traditional rivals, and hinted at a new age of U.S. imperialism.Doug Saunders is the international affairs columnist for the Globe. He joins the Decibel to talk about how the world as we know it has changed since Trump took office in January, and how countries are adapting to the constantly shifting global order.Questions?

The United States have never seen an election like this before. It began as a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but after Biden's debate performance back in June, he made the unprecedented move of withdrawing from the race. Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in to become the Democratic nominee, and the second debate in September looked a lot different.Results trickled in last night for this nail biter of an election, with the outcome hinging on seven swing states.The 2024 U.S. presidential election may be over, but as of 2 a.m. ET on November 6, the winner hadn't been officially declared.On today's show, The Decibel is hosting an election night watch party, featuring Globe journalists in the newsroom and on the ground in key swing states.

Over 7-million Venezuelans have left their homes since 2017, when Nicholas Maduro seized power and the state started to collapse. Most refugees have tried to start anew in nearby countries, like Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. But an increasing number are headed north on a dangerous trek that will take them to U.S.'s southern border. It's a journey that is hugely shaped by policy decisions being made continents away.Kerli Vasquez and her family are on this journey and met Doug Saunders, the Globe's international affairs columnist, on the road. Doug tells us about the years they've spent trying to re-establish themselves in multiple different countries, and are now en route to try and reach the U.S.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has shocked the world with his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. But many within Russia don't know what's going on just across the border, due to the government's censoring or shutting down of independent and social media. Russia last week passed a new law making it illegal to spread “fake news” that Human Rights Watch says “criminalizes independent war reporting.”International Affairs columnist Doug Saunders helps us understand what people in Russia are hearing about the war, the two different ways they could react to sanctions, and what Putin might do next.

Bombs raining down on cities in an established European democracy of 44 million people has provoked an astonishingly fierce resolve by the people of Ukraine. It's also testing the post-Cold War era alignments around the world as never before. We discuss the global response with Velina Tchakarova, director of the Austrian Institute for European and Security Policy; David Frum, staff writer at the Atlantic; Janice Stein, Belzberg Professor of Conflict Management and founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto; and Doug Saunders, international affairs columnist for The Globe and Mail.

Alan Haber was the first president of Students for a Democratic Society; William Geimer was a lawyer who defended some of the leaders of that 1960s movement against the Vietnam War. They worry about the descent of the US into Fascism. Doug Saunders and Oswald Petersen tend to agree that the support for democracy is on the upswing in Europe and will win every election that is honest; the right is winning only by twisting the voting system. Petersen's own work is the removal of methane from the atmosphere with the dispersal of nanoparticles of iron salts.

Doug Saunders is back from Europe, well recovered from Omicron, and talking about his research on neighborhoods. Brennain Lloyd is busy in North Bay, Ontario, defending us from the Canadian government team that is looking for a place to bury nuclear waste. Dr.Richard Denton is perturbed by the failings of our political system to protect human security, which would certainly not involve the purchase of fighter planes. Doug opens the biggest controversy at the end of the show before leaving: his endorsement of the use of reprocessing as a source of material for nuclear power in the future. This issue will be addressed another time! For the video, audio podcast, transcript, and comments column: https://tosavetheworld.ca/episode-397-nuclear-waste-inter-alia/ .

As the world's second-largest economy, China is extending its influence across the globe with the complicity of democratic nations. Internationally recognized reporter Joanna Chiu has spent a decade tracking China's propulsive rise, from the political aspects of the multi-billion-dollar “New Silk Road” global investment project to a growing sway on foreign countries and multilateral institutions through “United Front” efforts. As the United States stumbles, Chiu's anticipated work, China Unbound: A New World Disorder exposes Beijing's high-tech surveillance and aggressive measures that result in human rights violations against those who challenge its power. She speaks to Globe and Mail journalist Doug Saunders about why the new world order she sees has disturbing implications for global stability, prosperity, and civil rights everywhere.

Claire Adamson, Barbara Birkett, William Ryerson, and Doug Saunders share their worries about climate issues that they think should (but may not) be addressed in Glasgow at COP26. Ryerson will give a talk there about the effect on the climate of educating women and girls, thereby giving them more opportunity to achieve their desired family size (which is generally reduced thereby). He makes series dramas on television and radio to provide role models that change public norms about gender and reproduction. Doug Saunders believes it is unnecessary and even undesirable to reduce consumption levels in order to reduce carbon emissions.  The panelists worry that the IPCC has under-estimated the warming effect of methane.

Charles Burton, Sen. Marilou McPhedran, James Ranney, Peter Russell, and Doug Saunders discuss the need for effective measures to compel all states to accept humane norms of conduct. The dispute between China and Taiwan is a current example; the Taiwanese government is legitimate, but many countries will not take a stand against powerful China. We also discuss the problem of "libel chill," that inhibits honest journalism, even in Canada.

Vox co-founder, policy writer, and celebrated journalist Matthew Yglesias knows what would actually make America great: more people. Today we speak with Matthew to discuss this idea as captured in his book One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger. After introducing him, we dive straight into the topic and ask Matthew to unpack how population growth will benefit the US. He then shares how his book appeals to both sides of the political spectrum, despite the backlash that his ideas have received. We compare historical US immigration with the current economic climate before looking into why immigration doesn't necessarily lead to infrastructural challenges, as is often argued. While reflecting on how policy choices impact public projects, we touch on the COVID vaccine rollout and explore issues within America's political culture. Later, we hear Matthew's take on whether an ascendant China will forge a stronger America, the positive effects of inclusive American nationalism, and how giving people access to opportunity fosters innovations. Near the end of the episode, we chat about how policy affects birth rates, how zoning reforms might inspire stronger agglomeration, and why Matthew left Vox. Matthew presents a clear vision for how we can increase national prosperity. Tune to hear more of his insights.    Key Points From This Episode:  •   Introducing today's guest, Vox co-founder and journalist Matthew Yglesias. •   Exploring the premise of Matthew's book, One Billion Americans. •   The benefits of immigration and how it has led to American greatness. •   Why Matthew received more support from conservative readers than he had anticipated. •   Comparing early US immigration with the current economic climate. •   The challenge of building new infrastructure and the case against immigration. •   How policy choices impact the effectiveness of large public projects. •   The dangers of caring more about your political side than solving problems. •   Examining how different nations have responded to COVID. •   From seeing China as a threat to being more proud of the US, Matthew shares factors that could lead to a stronger America. •   Why access to opportunity leads to innovation and growth. •   Ways that policy can increase national birth rates. •   How the conversation around birth rates has become controversial. •   Zoning laws and the impact they have on agglomeration. •   Hear why Matthew now publishes on Substack and not Vox. •   Why don't we get a billion Americans by creating charter cities.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-yglesias-6ba5716/ (Matthew Yglesias on LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/mattyglesias (Matthew Yglesias on Twitter) https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827 (One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger on Amazon) https://www.slowboring.com/ (Slow Boring) https://www.chartercitiesinstitute.org/people/kurtis-lockhart (Kurtis Lockhart) https://www.chartercitiesinstitute.org/ (Charter Cities Institute) https://www.facebook.com/Charter-Cities-Institute-424204888015721/ (Charter Cities Institute on Facebook) https://twitter.com/CCIdotCity (Charter Cities Institute on Twitter) https://www.vox.com/ (Vox) https://www.vox.com/the-weeds (The Weeds Podcast) https://substack.com/ (Substack) http://www.dougsaunders.net/ (Doug Saunders) https://www.amazon.com/Maximum-Canada-Million-Canadians-Enough/dp/073527309X (Maximum Canada on Amazon) https://www.britannica.com/biography/Kamala-Harris (Kamala Harris) https://www.icmacentre.ac.uk/people/professor-michael-clements (Professor Michael Clements)...

Should the United States attempt to massively grow our population?  What would a program for population growth look like? Vox founder Matt Yglesias joins the show to discuss his new book, One Billion Americans.  Why is a larger America better for both America and the world? How could we encourage families to have more children? How could we incorporate more immigrants into society?  What other problems do we need to solve along the way before a billion Americans can happen?

In 2018, the Government of Canada released the first multi-year immigration levels plan, which sets targets for the amount of immigrants that Canada will admit from 2019 to 2021. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the plan is designed to contribute to an immigration system that supports the middle class through economic growth, supports diversity, and helps build vibrant, dynamic and inclusive communities while maintaining border integrity to ensure the safety of Canadians. The plan is made up of Canada’s federal immigration programs, with economic class immigration, family class migration, as well as refugees and humanitarian claims. In total, Canada plans to admit over 1 million immigrants in this three year time span, an increase from the previous 2017 levels plan. In this episode, we discuss increasing Canada’s population, economic migration, refugee policy and settlement and integration policy. We are joined by Doug Saunders from the Globe and Mail, Parisa Mahboubi from the CD Howe Institute, Audrey Macklin from the University of Toronto and John Shields from Ryerson University. Credits Daniella Marciano Thea Koper Alex Gold-Apel

Cities are the focus point of the second episode of 'Making a house a home'. As we are becoming increasingly “an urban species” according to the writer and journalist, Doug Saunders what is the role of affordable housing in the urbanized environment? What are the dynamics of the relationship between public, cooperative and social housing providers and the local authorities at European and at global level? We discuss all that with Agata Krause, Policy Advisor on Housing and Social Affairs of EUROCITIES, the network of major European Cities and Özgür Öner, Head of the EU Office of GdW- the Federal Association of German Housing and Real Estate Companies and Chair of the Housing Europe Urban Affairs Committee.

Nausea, debilitating headaches, loss of balance. Those are just a few of the symptoms that a group of Canadian and American diplomats became ill with last year in Cuba, even though none of them were physically hurt. Now, Canadian diplomats afflicted by the "Havana Syndrome" are calling on the federal government to get to the bottom of the mystery. Globe and Mail columnist Doug Saunders explains.

The Liberals put forth a proposal to tax the hell out of small businesses. At least that's how it's being painted by the Opposition. In reality, the proposed changes would have virtually zero impact on the majority of small business owners, but would focus on self-incorporated doctors. And it wouldn't raise their taxes, per se, but alter how they can claim their family members as employees, and change how the money they park in investments rather than being poured back into their businesses is assessed. Fortunately, we have Laval economics professor Stephen Gordon to make sense of this. And you know what would ease the burden on the beleaguered doctors? Another 65 million Canadians who could share the pain. That's what author and Globe & Mail columnist Doug Saunders would like to see.

Om modulhus, miljonprogram och missnöje när Sverige står inför en ny byggboom. Går det att bygga fram ett jämlikare samhälle? Hör Tenstabor, forskare och kommunpolitiker analysera framtidens stad. Kan man bygga bort segregation? Det är en central fråga i dagens Konflikt när Sverige står inför en akut bostadsbrist. Programmet börjar i Stockholms stads första så kallade modulboende i Fagersjö i Stockholms ytterområden. Konflikts Firas Jonblat träffade 23-årige Bashar från Idlib i Syrien när han höll på att flytta in.Boverket uppskattar att runt 700 000 nya bostäder måste byggas fram till år 2025, i princip ett nytt miljonprogram. Vad kan man dra för lärdomar av vad som gick snett då för att inte upprepa samma misstag. Vem kan analysera det bättre än de som bor i miljonprogramsområdena? Konflikts Anja Sahlberg träffade träffade Tenstaborna "Sara" och Khaled Hussein, för att höra vad de har för råd till dagens politiker som står inför en ny byggboom.Det har gått ett halvt sekel sedan socialdemokraternas stora byggprojekt Miljonprogrammet sjösattes på 60-talet. Många av den tidens miljonprogramsområden är idag slitna och i stort behov av att rustas upp. Men det är inte helt oproblematiskt. Renoveringar riskerar att leda till omfattande hyreshöjningar som gör att en del inte har råd att bo kvar. Det är problematiskt och riskerar att leda till social oro, det sa Mustafa Dikec, turkisk professor i urbana studier, när Konflikts Anja Sahlberg träffade honom i Stockholm.En person som ägnat många år åt att analysera hur städers utformning hjälper eller hindrar integrationen av flyktingar och migranter är den kanadensiske journalisten och författaren Doug Saunders. För ett par år sedan skrev han den uppmärksammade boken Arrival city om just detta och i dag arbetar han med ett forskningsprojekt för Världsbanken om vad som kan underlätta integrationen av migranter i europeiska och nordamerikanska städer. Tidigare i våras besökte han Stockholm. Konflikts Kajsa Boglind passade då på att ta med honom till Stockholmsförorten Vårberg, där Konflikt tidigare hade sin redaktion.Gäster i studion för att diskutera de framtida utmaningarna när ett nytt miljonprogram står för dörren är Ann Legeby, forskare på Arkitekturskolan på KTH, och Karolina Skoog (MP), som sitter i kommunfullmäktige i Malmö Stad och är ordförande i byggnadsnämnden där.Programledare: Kajsa Boglind kajsa.boglind@sverigesradio.seProducent: Anja Sahlberg anja.sahlberg@sverigesradio.se

This week, an interview with Globe and Mail columnist Doug Saunders on his latest book 'The Myth of the Muslim Tide', which challenges the notion that Western values are being threatened by a wave of Muslim immigration.

Journalist and author Doug Saunders has spent years studying what he calls "arrival cities" -- the ramshackle neighborhoods on the outskirts of the world's biggest cities that are often the place new immigrants land. Arrival cities are often kept down by physical and bureaucratic barriers, he says, but their residents' drive to succeed makes the neighborhoods valuable to the urban area at large. Saunders visits Zócalo to discuss the arrival cities -- including those in Los Angeles, Istanbul, Cairo and many other urban centers and the challenges and opportunities they pose.

Journalist and author Doug Saunders, talks to Allan Gregg about his new book "Arrival City", which examines the global trend of urban migration and argues that immigration will be critical to the success of economics in Canada and around the world.
