Regular listeners will know we've been talking about cost of living and affordability issues here on the pod the last little while.Well, mere hours before this recording … the federal Liberal government announced a new affordability package with a 1.6 billion dollar temporary GST cut, aimed primarily at families, plus a Working Canadians Rebate of $250. Does it help a little? A lot? Is it good policy? And speaking of brand-new economic context, what's changes will we be seeing down south because of the Trump election. How are they going to affect Canada?I want to dive into all of that with 2 of the smartest economic thinkers I know.

Over the last two weeks, Liberal Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault has said he's considering tightening Canada's temporary foreign worker program.This is amid criticism of its growing use and the conditions facing those who are in it.Since the Liberals first loosened the rules in response to the pandemic in 2021, the program has played a bigger part in our labour market, including with staff at large food and retail chains.Some Canadians believe that that's suppressing wages and taking away jobs from young people. So how valid are those fears? And is the program also exploiting the migrant workers themselves, who so often see their rights violated or ignored? Armine Yalnizyan is an economist, a columnist for the Toronto Star, and the Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled her latest budget Tuesday, with big spending plans to increase the housing supply, deliver on commitments to Indigenous people, boost funding to the Canadian military and finally deliver on a promise to create a Canada Disability Benefit. But there is more to the budget's $39.3 billion in new spending than just those big ticket items. There is a little bit of money in there for nearly everyone. It is an election budget, with lots of promises, most of which start to kick in next year. And to pay for it all, without sinking further into deficit and blowing past Freeland's debt-to-GDP ratio, the federal government is increasing the inclusion rate on capital gains, affecting business investments and, with some exceptions, those Canadians earning more than $250,000 from capital gains annually. This week on “It's Political,” we'll look at the government's 2024 spending plan and its decision to target capital gains as a way of raising taxes with economists Armine Yalnizyan and Christopher Ragan. But before that discussion, we'll unpack the budget process and look at the last budget, the 2023 budget, and review its forecasts, its promises and what it actually delivered on. Some of the clips this week were sourced from CPAC, WhiteHouse.gov and Right Side Broadcasting. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Michal Stein, and mixed by Kevin Sexton. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

Why does Alberta want out of the Canada Pension Plan?The decision by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has caused a swift reaction from the federal government.Is Alberta trying to score points against the federal government?Some say Albertans are paying too much into the plan and could pay less if they leave. However, the numbers and feasibility of this claim are questionable. Additionally, the process of opting out would be lengthy and require the agreement of seven out of ten provinces. What are the political implications of this? Who are Alberta's potential allies?We take a deep dive into this topic in Episode 26 of The Bill Kelly Podcast with Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers.#alberta #canadapolitics #daniellesmith #canadapensionplan #fedpoli #thebillkellypodcast #ArmineYalnizyan Listen to this podcast everywhere:https://kite.link/the-bill-kelly-podcastWatch the interview by subscribing to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBillKellyPodcastSubscribe to my Substack for free news updates straight to your inbox and exclusive paid contentbillkelly.substack.comConnect with me on socials: @ThisIsBillKellyhttps://twitter.com/ThisIsBillKellyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisbillkelly/https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillkelly/ Get full access to Bill Kelly's Substack at billkelly.substack.com/subscribe

ep244: Today, we welcome Joe Sallustio, Sr VP of Strategic Enrollment Management at Lindenwood University to help us look critically at the relationship between the workforce and academia. For example, while businesses face the great resignation, universities similarly face the great enrollment cliff. Also, as AI is changing how we operate our businesses, it's just as rapidly transforming how institutions operate. And sure, when hiring, a college degree shaves some risk, but what is it really worth? And how does that value compare to skill stacking? Lawyer on the Clock 3:34 - The Supreme Court recently struck down affirmative action policies in higher education. Could companies' voluntary diversity and inclusion efforts be in legal jeopardy? Philburt's Phorum 14:08 - Student loans, due dates, and seventh year seniors. The Employers' Lounge 16:08 - Joe Sallustio discusses going from hating school, to a career in academia, his podcast The EdUp Experience, and his book Commencement: The Beginning of a New Era in Higher Education. 19:28 - How is the great resignation affecting the university setting? Teachers and professors are leaving the industry and there are not going to be as many 17 and 18 year olds enrolling. 22:38 - Once concern as businesses look to take on the newest technology is, it takes four years to get a degree, and your curriculum could already be outdated by the time you graduate. 25:00 - How do we protect IP in the age of AI? How do you work with students and employees who come in expecting to be able to use AI as a tool. 29:32 - What is skill stacking? How can employers evaluate skills without a degree backing it up?

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ahead of Friday testimony from his chief of staff on foreign election interference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he and Katie Telford have talked about the issue "many" times over the years. What do we expect today? GUEST: Richard Brennan, Former Journalist with The Toronto Star covering both Queen's Park and Parliament Hill - In the 1970s, three quarters of Swedish homes were heated with oil boilers. Today, electric-powered heat pumps have all but replaced oil in single-family homes (most multi-family homes rely on district heating). That has driven greenhouse gas emissions from oil heating of buildings down 95 per cent since 1990, according to the Swedish Energy Agency, said Martin Forsén a Swedish heating industry veteran and president of the European Heat Pump Association. So how did that happen? And are there lessons for Canada's transition away from fossil heating? GUEST: Ian Lee, Associate Professor with the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University - Could allowing undocumented immigrants to stay and work here in Canada benefit us? GUEST: Armine Yalnizyan, Economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police's reputation and morale have seemingly taken hit after hit in recent years. The recent blistering report issued over the Mounties' performance in the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, where a gunman executed 22 innocent people in Nova Scotia, hasn't helped.

Plus, Stephenson talks with Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson fellow on the future of workers, and Craig Alexander, former chief economist at Deloitte and TD Bank, about whether the Rogers-Shaw corporate merger will really mean lower bills for Canadians.

Canada's labour market is facing an unprecedented set of challenges. We keep hearing the dual realities of low unemployment levels but high job vacancies. There is a loud and growing chorus of business owners who complain that they can't find the workers they need. And workers are increasingly expressing their frustration with the jobs they do have. From the great-resignation, to quiet quitting. From the turbulence that is affecting industries as diverse as travel, hospitality, restaurants, and healthcare to the ongoing pressure to address wages without creating a wage-price spiral. Something is happening in the Canadian labour force.In this episode of Economics Matters, we will be examining the causes of Canada's labour market turmoil.

Most personal injury and workers compensation schemes around the globe are focusing on the injured worker being at the center of everything they do. When we take a step back and look at the power of influence, we can improve claims outcomes and elevate the overall experience. The power of influence is what builds trust, and when there is a trust, an injured worker is more apt to listen and make decisions that promote return to work and productivity. Earlier this month, Shane O'Dea and Kimberly George attended the PIEF conference in Australia. In this podcast, they recap the personal injury industry event — sharing insights on technology advancements and the future of workers compensation in Australia and around the world.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: What effect does misinformation have on our society when it comes from notable Canadians? GUEST: Marcus Kolga, Director of DisinfoWatch.org and Senior Fellow with the Macdonald Laurier Institute - Donald Trump was sued for fraud on Wednesday by New York state's attorney general, who for more than three years has been conducting a civil investigation into the former U.S. president's business practices, court records showed.

Karem, Political Analyst for CNN, White House Reporter, Columnist for Salon.com and The Washington Diplomat, and host of ‘Just Ask the Question' Podcast, Author of the new book Free The Press: The Death of American Journalism and How to Revive It. - As you start planning your Thanksgiving feast, spare a thought for the millions of Canadians who are planning their meals around what foods they can't buy, or how many meals to cut to make ends meet. Almost six million people were food insecure last year in Canada. More than a third of them were in Ontario, where 16 per cent, or one in six households, struggle with food insecurity. Is it going to get worse? GUEST: Armine Yalnizyan, Economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers
Traditionally, the political parties on the left have represented working-class people. But from Doug Ford's new rapport with private sector labour unions, to the new federal Conservative Party leader's posture as a defender of the working class, the right is making its case for that support.

The so-called Freedom Convoy has put political populism on our radar in Canada as never before. But a new book suggests these kinds of populist spasms aren't the result of a villainous electorate, but rather the condescending, non-empathetic response from mainstream politics and society. To discuss, we welcome Paul Summerville, co-author of "Reclaiming Populism: How Economic Fairness Can Win Back Disenchanted Voters," Miles Corak, economics professor at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York; and Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: We are now into Day 13 of the “Freedom Convoy,” which has turned into an occupation. Let me be clear: the capital city of Canada's downtown is under occupation by a band of white supremacists. And it wasn't difficult for them to do. It's the Canadian way to put our heads in the sand, pretend it's not happening, roll out the toxic positivity of denial, and be shocked when the chickens come home to roost. We did this to ourselves because we weren't vigilant about the dangers of white supremacy. Read to full Op-ed HERE. GUEST: Erica Ifill, Columnist for The Hill Times - The response to the “freedom convoy” offers a glimpse into the underbelly of the criminal justice system. The enforcement of law and order involves significant degrees of discretion. The favourable or unfavourable discretionary use of power goes beyond policing — it exists throughout the judicial system. Read the full article HERE. GUEST: Temitope Oriola, Associate Professor with the Centre for Criminological Research at the University of Alberta - If Ontario ever signs a deal with the feds for early learning and child care, we know parents will save money, kids will get better care and, when supply expands, the economy will benefit from having more people earning and spending more. While not disputing those benefits, some commentators are saying the federal deal is bad for business, as it aims to transition our current model of grab-it-where-you-can care to a system that provides more reliable licensed public and non-profit child care in a neighbourhood near you. Is this evolution bad for business? GUEST: Armine Yalnizyan, Economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers
Jeff speaks with Armine Yalnizyan, Economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers, about the Bank of Canada holding interest rates - and why Premier Ford is making the right move by waiting to sign Ottawa's $10-a-day child care deal.
Canada's inflation rate hit an 18-year high of 4.7 per cent in October. As a result, the prices of everyday products are on the rise. Armine Yalnizyan, Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers and a columnist at the Toronto Star, explains why inflation is on the rise, and some Canadians highlight how their shopping habits have changed as a result.
The federal government is calling time on the Canada Recovery Benefit. We hear from a business owner who has relied on it, and another whose business is facing staffing shortages. We also discuss the economic impact the expiration of CRB will have with Armine Yalnizyan, Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers and a columnist at the Toronto Star; and Sri Thanabalasingam, a senior economist at TD Bank.
Not all election promises are created equal when it comes to child care policies. We look at what each party has on offer and evaluate their feasibility. With Armine Yalnizyan, Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers; and Andrea Mrozek, Senior Fellow with Cardus Family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Working four days a week instead of five has often come up as a way people can reclaim some of their time from their employers. But who exactly would benefit from that, especially in the gig economy? And could there be other ways for all employees to regain some control over their work-life balance?Armine Yalnizyan, an economist and an Atkinson Fellow on the future of workers, weighs in on the value of the idea of a four-day work week, and how a major shift in demographics on the horizon could present workers with more power when it comes to lobbying for legislative changes regarding how much time we spend at work.
With so much money tied up in real estate, what are the consequences for Canada's economy? And for its people, if that market takes a dive? We weigh up how we got here, and what's at stake, with Armine Yalnizyan, an economist and an Atkinson Fellow on the future of workers, and Doug Porter, chief economist at the Bank of Montreal.
We're calling today's show Living Conditions, a special on Canada's real estate market, the surges driven by the pandemic, and the divide between owning your dream home, and chasing a pipe dream. We hear from Canadians trying to get a foot on the property ladder, including Toronto millennial Jenny Kim, who has just closed on her first home; and Garrett McPhee in Halifax. As the pandemic has driven people east — and driven up prices — he feels priced out of his home province. Plus, with so much money tied up in real estate, what are the consequences for Canada's economy? And for its people, if that market takes a dive? We weigh up how we got here, and what's at stake, with Armine Yalnizyan, an economist and an Atkinson Fellow on the future of workers, and Doug Porter, chief economist at the Bank of Montreal. Then, scraping together a down payment is one thing, but racialized Canadians also deal with discrimination, whether renting or buying. Jael Joseph is Black and a single mother, she tells us about what she faced trying to find a place to live, and why she eventually asked a white relative to act as her representative. Henry Yu, an associate professor at the University of British Columbia, discusses the long history of discrimination in Canadian real estate. And what kind of homes should we be building, and where? How do you make city living more affordable? We talk to Andy Yan, an urban planner and director of the City Program at Simon Fraser University, and Naama Blonder, an architect and urban planner at Smart Density, an architecture firm in Toronto. Finally, is owning your own home, a place to raise your family, now just a pipe dream for many Canadians? We put that question to federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Ahmed Hussen, and ask what the federal government is doing to help people struggling.
As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, why are so many governments needing to balance the needs of the economy, with the needs of people?

It has been a commonplace during the pandemic to talk about the ‘unprecedented times' we are living in. And with unprecedented comes another term often used to describe our current age: uncertainty. What do we mean today when we speak of uncertainty in the economic realm? On this episode of The Recovery Project, we hear from Tabatha Bull, President & CEO of Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, Armine Yalnizyan, the Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers, and Jacqueline Best, Full Professor in the School of Political Studies at the uOttawa, for a discussion moderated by Anoush Fraser Terjanian, the Assistant Vice Dean, Partnerships and Research Networks at the uOttawa Faculty of Social Sciences, and Research Associate at the Centre for International Policy Studies, uOttawa.
In the age of COVID-19 trying to tackle so many enormous issues like jobs, wages, and investments is like throwing kerosene on the fire of economic uncertainty, according to Plan B podcast guest Armine Yalnizyan, economist and fellow at the Atkinson Foundation researching the future of workers.
Utility executives poured into Boston from across the country this week for the Edison Electric Institute's annual conference. They talked about everything from crazy national politics to rate design to artificial intelligence and the future of workers. We brought our recording gear and tracked down some top names in the industry. In this episode, we hear what's on the minds of utility executives. Here are some highlights from the interviews: Tom Fanning, CEO of Southern Company, on why decarbonization will continue under Trump: "We don't chase fads. Our business approach, our strategies, our models, have a much longer life than any political party or any particular administration." Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources CEO, on automation and the future of work: "We're not thinking about that enough yet." Julia Hamm, the CEO of SEPA, on how distributed energy is wrapped up in smart cities and artificial intelligence: "Utility executives are really starting to think about how does that suite of distributed energy resources fit into an even bigger picture." David Owens, retiring VP of regulatory affairs at EEI, on the new priorities for investor-owned utilities: We've gotten very aggressive in the industry's vision. And that vision is focused around cleaner energy, a smarter energy infrastructure, and providing customized or individualized solutions so we can respond to customer needs."
