INTRODUCTIONPackaging: the best starting point for more circular solutions and products? That was the title of the online Euro-Canadian Roundtable on December 15th, 2022, as a side event of the World Circular Economy Forum. And this episode is broadcasting the core conversation with our 6 inspiring panelists, from both continents. They raised some key points in terms of materials, consumers, waste, design, and GHG related to packaging. This captivating panel also highlighted the role of regulations as well as pre-competitive collaboration to expand circular packaging solutions.It was a real pleasure to organize and co-moderate this event with Anne-Laure Bulliffon. I hope you will benefit at the maximum from the good vibes that lead this initiative. And I can't wait to foster more Euro-Canadian bridging dialogues like this one.

From July 24-29, 2022, Pope Francis will be visiting Canada. During the trip, the Pope is set to deliver an apology on Canadian soil for the involvement of Catholic dioceses and religious orders in the operation of residential schools from the 1870s through the 1990s.Residential schools were established under a federal government program which was intended to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture, and equip them with the education and skills deemed necessary to participate in Canada's economic and social life.In anticipation of the Holy Father's visit, this episode explores Indigenous reconciliation and ministry, major themes and challenges from Pope Francis' pontificate, and whether Canada has a unique contribution to make to the Church's mission in the 21st century.Along the way, we take some scenic detours, including reminiscing about the last time a pope visited Canada for the occasion of World Youth Day in 2002, and reminding ourselves of the importance of continuously building communities of faith.Our guest is John Paul Meenan, Assistant Professor of Theology at Seat of Wisdom College in Barry's Bay, Ontario.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
In this episode, Greg Marchildon interviews former Parks Canada historian Robert Coutts. After his retirements, Coutts did his PhD in history on the meaning and reinterpretation of historic sites. He then turned his dissertation into the book Authorized Heritage: Place, Memory and Historic Sites in Prairie Canada that was published by the University of Manitoba Press in 2021. In the book, Coutts explores the mean of federal and provincial government official historic sites and the meaning of the authorized histories they produce. He covers historic sites focused on pre-contact Indigenous settlements, the fur trade, Euro-Canadian settlements and places of conflict between Indigenous peoples and settlers. Coutts is currently editor of a new journal called Prairie History based in Winnipeg.
How to Prevent your Stop Loss from being HitPodcast: #387: How to Prevent your Stop Loss from being HitIn this video:00:25 – Stop loss placement01:04 – Examples shown on our weekly webinar03:00 – The benefits of having the stop loss protected by a round number03:33 – EUR/CAD trade makes a +1.5% account gain with low and controlled risk04:32 – Details about how you can learn how to take trades like this too What measures can you take to prevent your stock loss from being hit all the time? Let's talk about that more right now.Hey, Forex traders, this is Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 387.Stop loss placementI want to talk about an issue that affects all of us, and it's talking about stop loss placement and how to place your stop loss why and where, and what can you do to give yourself a higher probability chance of success within your trade and to prevent your trade from being stopped out? And this was a discussion that we had on our live clients webinar just last night my time. I was asked by a new client that's just joined us this week, and he said, "Look, I've been through the course, loving the concept and how you're going, but what measures do you put in place to help protect your stop loss?"Examples shown on our weekly webinar And so I showed a lot of examples, as I do every week, that have stop loss protection. Now, what I mean by that is this. It's not just placing your stop loss at X number of pips. It's not even placing your stop loss, according to the way that we trade with fibs, extensions, and retracements, but it's also having extra protection in place to prevent that stop loss being stopped out. Now, a perfect example of that would be to have your stop loss on a sell trade above a round number. Now, we took a trade on that webinar yesterday, and you're going to see it on your charts. It's on the Euro-Canadian dollar on the one hour chart on the 8th of October. And we took a sell trade, and the trade had just come down through the 156 level 1.5600. And it had broken below that level. It closed below that level.We saw the setup that what we're looking for, we had the trendline break in place, we had divergence, we had below the pivot point, all the things we're looking for with a candle set up. Everything was really good there. Room to move to the profit target. But what we had is we had the ability to put our stop loss above 156, above that round number. And what that was basically saying was, on this trade, if the price then pulls back and goes to 156 and back beyond it, we get stopped out, we accept that we lose on the trade, but we have controlled low risk on that trade. So if the trade got stopped out, then we lose. We accept that. That's part of trading. But what we also had in our favour was we knew that the 156 level had been a strong level in the past, and we knew that it was a round number, and those psychological levels are very, very important.The benefits of having the stop loss protected by a round numberAnd by placing our stop loss above that level, it meant that not only did we have our stop loss above the high of the candle and a swing high, it meant that the price to go and break that strong barrier in order to take us out. And as it happened, the price dropped and it did exactly as we thought it would do, and it moved to the previous main swing low, and it gave us a three to one reward to risk trade in under three hours. In under three candles, profit target had been hit for a three to one reward to risk trade.EUR/CAD trade makes a +1.5% account gain with low and controlled riskNow, if you placed half of 1% of your account on that one position, you'd have made a one and a half percent accoun...
The purpose of government-sponsored residential schooling was to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture. These schools are a part of the strained relationship that continues to exist between the Canadian government and Indigenous peoples. With more dialogue now being had about the issue, it's time to understand exactly what Truth and Reconciliation means... and how an orange shirt has become a part of the conversation. Mona Jones, Indigenous Education Lead for the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board, joins the show with her son Jasyn to share some important cultural truths.

Excellent Market Conditions ContinuePodcast: #363: Excellent Market Conditions ContinueIn this video: 00:28 – Week 5 of Coronavirus lockdown00:49 – Great trading conditions and examples of our trades01:35 – Live webinar with clients02:02 – What are you doing about this?02:49 – Economically, things are not good04:02 – There are opportunities out there04:38 – Conditions are perfect right now, are you ready? So the excellent forex trading conditions are continuing well into lockdown. Are you taking advantage of these conditions or not? Let's talk about that and more right now.Hey, traders, Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach outside again today. I'm just wanting to get away from the computer and share some beautiful scenery with you here.Week 5 of Coronavirus lockdownLook, we're in week five of lockdown, but the great thing is is that as a forex trader, the incredibly good market conditions are continuing. A few people have said to me, "Hey Andrew, you know, with the financial markets are slowing, is this going to have any impact?" Well, right now the forex market conditions are incredibly good.Great trading conditions and examples of our tradesTo give you a few examples, I've been talking about a sell trade we took two weeks ago on the Euro/Canadian weekly chart that is now still in great profit. That pair has dropped about 300 pips from high to low so far this week. The trade continues to go well. We took some trades on our 12-hour charts posted on our forum site that have worked out beautifully this week, make very good high reward to risk trades. We've had sell trades on the Euro/Aussie, Euro/US that have done well this week, hit the profit targets. Right now I'm still in on a buy trade on gold that's going really well on the daily chart as well, all mentioned on our membership site for clients to follow along to not only learn from, but also to earn from.Live webinar with clientsI held a live webinar last night for clients. We had over a hundred people on there, and that's the great thing with lockdown. I'm getting lots of people attending the client webinar live and attending the forum site, but I took a sell trade on the franc/yen and made about a one and a half to one reward to risk and it did it in I think about half an hour, and there again, makes full profit in front of people live on a webinar.What are you doing about this?So great trading conditions are there, so really it comes down to that's all well and good for me to say, "Yeah, we're taking lots of great trades," but really the purpose of this video is to ask you a question. It's like, what are you doing about this? You know, when it comes to time, for most people around the world we're still in lockdown. We're in week five or just about to start week five of lockdown here in New Zealand. We can't really go anywhere, and most people are in a similar situation or worse around the world, and so what are you doing about this? I made a video about three weeks ago saying well, what are you doing to take advantage of these conditions? And now here we are three weeks later. Have you answered that? Are you taking advantage of some extra time that you may have to do something about this?Economically, things are not goodBecause look, realistically, economically things are pretty grim out there. Here in New Zealand, things are pretty bad. You know, even here in Nelson in New Zealand they just pulled out with 100 jobs in the maintenance here in Nelson. The company who I use personally for helicopter maintenance, they've gone. You know,
Aboriginal people have a long and proud history that includes rich cultural and spiritual traditions. Many of these traditions, however, were altered or even taken away upon the arrival of European settlers. The forced introduction of European culture and values to Aboriginal societies, the dispossession of Aboriginal lands, and the imposition of alien modes of governance began a cycle of social, physical and spiritual destruction that has affected generations of people. Some effects include poverty, poor health, violence and substance abuse. Underlying these problems is a loss of identity and a learned helplessness from having their values oppressed and their rights ignored. But hope is emerging as Aboriginal people work to improve their lives and re-discover their tradition customs, language and values. Similarly, non-Aboriginal Canadians are becoming more aware of the injustices that have and are occurring to Aboriginal peoples as well as the richness of Aboriginal cultures. Non-Aboriginal people can further support the healing process by continuing to learn about the experience of Aboriginal people in order to promote mutual understanding and respect. When individuals from differing cultural backgrounds interact, there is often miscommunication, misunderstanding, and frustration. These obstacles can be overcome by making all parties more culturally sensitive. It is important for people to recognize how cultural backgrounds affect individual perceptions and actions; and how cultural awareness can improve the relationship between people from differing cultural backgrounds. Darlene Ritchie is a First Nations member and former Director of Operations for At^lohsa Native Family Healing Services in London Ontario. In this video, Darlene presents a very brief historical perspective of Aboriginal Canadians in order to provide the viewer with an understanding of some of the physical, social and emotional concerns being experienced by native people in Canada today. As a social worker, Darlene speaks first hand regarding the circumstances related to child welfare, family violence and trauma associated with the residential school experience. The video provides information that can help distress and crisis call responders increase their sensitivity to the needs of callers who are of Native heritage. Questions for Further Consideration: 1. Aboriginal groups are working with members of their own communities in order to increase awareness of violence against women. What is being done to help in this area? An Aboriginal prevention and education initiative has been developed to raise awareness about the signs of woman abuse within Native communities, so that people who are close to an at-risk woman or an abusive man can provide support. It educates on the warnings signs of violence and how to create a safety plan with women. They focus on ending isolation for Aboriginal women who are experiencing abuse and emphasize the empowering of Aboriginal men to take responsibility for their actions and to make change. The program centres around the following key messages: As caretakers of the earth we have a responsibility to take care of each other’s spirit, 'Taking care of each other’s spirit' suggests that all community members have a crucial role to play in preventing woman abuse, Engaging abusive men in a traditional approach is critical to ending woman abuse, Abusive behaviour won’t go away on its own, Communities have the assets, strengths and natural leaders to greatly impact change, growth and healing in their own communities, and Any individual can use their influence on others to start positive change. 2. There is a high incidence of violence against native women both inside the reserve and in urban settings. What are the signs of someone who may be at high risk for abuse? The danger of violence or abuse towards a woman may be greater if: She is a victim of Residential School abuses or other historical trauma and has not received help, She fears for her life and for her children’s safety or she cannot see her risk, She is in a custody battle, or has children from a previous relationship, She is involved in another relationship, She has unexplained injuries, She has no access to a phone, She faces other obstacles (e.g. she does not speak English, lives in a remote area), and She has no friends or family. 3. What is the explanation for the increased incidence of abuse among aboriginal women in Canada? How is it related to the residential school experience? The victimization of Aboriginal women accelerated with the introduction after Confederation of residential schools for Aboriginal children. Children were removed from their families and homes at a young age, some to return eight to 10 years later, some never to return. The ability to speak Aboriginal languages and the motivation to do so were severely undermined. Aboriginal students were taught to devalue everything Aboriginal and value anything Euro-Canadian. Many Aboriginal grandparents and parents today are products of the residential school system. The development of parenting skills, normally a significant aspect of their training as children within Aboriginal families, was denied to them by the fact that they were removed from their families and communities, and by the lack of attention paid to the issue by residential schools. Parenting skills neither were observed nor taught in those institutions. Aboriginal children traditionally learned their parenting skills from their parents through example and daily direction. That learning process was denied to several generations of Aboriginal parents. In addition to the physical and sexual abuse that Canadians are now hearing took place in residential schools, emotional abuse was the most prevalent and the most severe. Not only did residential schools not support the development of traditional parental roles among the children, but they taught the children that they were "pagan"—an inferior state of being—and should never use their language or honour their religious beliefs. These messages were imparted to Aboriginal children in a sometimes brutal manner. The residential school experience not only meant children were removed from their families, but they also prevented any closeness, even contact, from occurring between siblings and relatives at the same school. The damage done by residential schools is evident today as Aboriginal people, long deprived of parenting skills, struggle with family responsibilities and attempt to recapture cultural practices and beliefs so long denied. Grand Chief Dave Courchene Sr. put the experience succinctly: ‘Residential schools taught self-hate. That is child abuse . . . Too many of our people got the message and passed it on.’ It is their younger generations that now appear before the court.’ We believe the breakdown of Aboriginal cultural values and the abuse suffered by Aboriginal children in the schools contributed to family breakdown. This began a cycle of abuse in Aboriginal communities, with women and children being the primary victims.’ Reference: ABORIGINAL WOMEN Glossary: Aboriginal peoples: Aboriginal peoples of Canada are defined in the Constitution Act, 1982, Section 35 (2) as including the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. First Nations people: The First Nations people are the various Aboriginal peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Métis. There are currently over 630 recognized First Nations governments or bands spread across Canada, roughly half of which are in the provinces of Ontario and BritishColumbia. Indigenous people: are those groups especially protected in international or national legislation as having a set of specific rights based on their historical ties to a particular territory and their cultural or historical distinctiveness from other populations. The legislation is based on the conclusion that certain indigenous people are vulnerable to exploitation, marginalization and oppression by nation states formed from colonizing populations or by politically dominant, different ethnic groups. A defining characteristic for an indigenous group is that it has preserved traditional ways of living, such as present or historical reliance upon subsistence-based production (based on pastoral, horticultural and/or hunting and gathering techniques), and a predominantly non-urbanized society. Not all indigenous groups share these characteristics. Zhaawanong Shelter for Abused Women and Children: Zhaawanong means "South" in the Ojibwe language. This direction means warmth, change, nurturance and renewal - qualities promoted in the shelter which is located in London. Operating since June, 1992, the shelter offers a 24 hour emergency shelter for First Nation women and their children who are at high risk of further abuse in the family home. They provide: safety, protection and shelter, (up to 42 days), in a supportive healing environment; intervention and holistic crisis counselling (group or individual), for women and their children; traditional healing circles for women and children; an understanding of the cycle of violence; promotion of health and wellness and prevention of family violence; emergency transportation; and referral and advocacy, while they are in transition. Culture: Culture is the learned, shared, and transmitted values, beliefs, norms, and lifeways of a particular group that guide the group’s thinking, decisions, and actions in patterned ways.
Diana Frost’s mission is to share First Nations culture and spirituality. The goal is to foster reconciliation and help indigenous and non-indigenous to better understand and appreciate each other.Indigenous Art In EducationThere aren’t a lot of Indigenous culture resources available for students. Diana says it’s important to get kids excited about indigenous art and language. Exposure to art, stories, and history leads to appreciation, naturally.Who is Diana Frost?Diana Frost is from Sherbrooke, Quebec. She is Metis. Her background, beliefs and life are diverse. Diana’s parents raised her in the Bahai faith. She was born in Quebec, but she later relocated to Gabon, Africa. Her micro-biologist father moved there to set up a research station. So, Diana spent her teen years in Gabon. When she returned to Canada for University she studied chemical engineering. She worked as a water engineer for over 20 years in South America. Diana started to question her work every time she boarded a plane. She asked herself why travel so far to help other people when Indigenous people in Canada need help? Diana’s mother and uncles grew up in residential schools. Her mother was 8 years old when the government took her from her parents. Diana’s uncles went with the priests and her mother went with the nuns. They never returned back home. The goal of the government sponsored residential schools was to assimilate indigenous culture into Euro-Canadian culture. Because of this many indigenous peoples have since lost their culture and language. Due to this upbringing, Diana’s mother felt being First Nations was something shameful. To this day the ripple effects of the residential school affect them. The connection with her mother is not easy. Her uncle has suffered with mental illness since he left the school. Her other uncle became a member of the FLQ–a militant part of the Quebec sovereignty movement. When Diana was a young girl her mother told her that she is First Nations but did not know which nation she belonged to. Through genealogy study Diana found out that her ancestry is Algonquin. She felt a need to look for others but had a hard time meeting other indigenous people until she moved to Alberta. Reconciliation and Understanding ProjectDiana has been on a journey to reconnect with her roots and support reconciliation. This has brought her to her current business project–Colouring It Forward. She said the idea came to her in a dream. Diana wants more material about the wonderful parts of indigenous life. So much of the material now talks only about the sadness and hurt of indigenous history. But true reconciliation comes from a place of love. That is Diana’s project. To share the beauty and healing of indigenous culture through art. Colouring It ForwardDiana is not only an engineer but also a portrait artist. She wanted to create a separate business and was looking for ideas but couldn’t find what she wanted to do. One day she woke up from a dream. In the dream she made a series of adult colouring books that featured indigenous artists. The books also brought the knowledge of elders in for authenticity. When she woke she knew exactly what to do–make a beautiful thing that honours culture and gives back. That was the start of Colouring It Forward. With each sale she gives a part of the proceeds to indigenous community projects. The work is growing and she is being asked to create further educational materials.
