On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Dr. Darrell Bricker, the CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs who also advises on the agenda at the annual Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia every November, discusses the latest polling in the US presidential race, top issues for voters and where national security ranks among their concerns, notion of immigration as a national security issue, how public perceptions can shape more thoughtful immigration policies, impact of vice presidential choices on race, impact of the Gaza war on Democrats and how unruly pro-Palestinian demonstrations could undermine Harris' tough on crime image, perceptions of Israel in the wake of the Gaza war, global security concerns, perceptions of Russia and Ukraine as the war grinds on, and an update on right wing as well as populist movements worldwide with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.

In this episode of "Now That's Significant," host Michael Howard and guest Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, discuss the shocking global trend of population decline and its wide-reaching implications. Contrary to popular belief, the world population will not continue to grow indefinitely but is expected to peak around 9 billion (rather than the 11.4 billion) before starting to shrink. Below are five key takeaways from the podcast.  Economic Contraction: A shrinking population will lead to economic contraction due to a decrease in consumption. As the population ages, there will be less demand for consumer goods, leading to slower economic growth.  Shifting Power Structures: Countries with shrinking populations, like China, could lose their dominant positions in manufacturing as their workforces shrink and labor costs rise. This could lead to a shift in global power dynamics.  Social Impacts and Cultural Extinction: Population decline, coupled with urbanization, could lead to the cultural extinction of indigenous populations. As younger generations move to urban areas, they may not carry on the languages and traditions of their cultures.  Political Ramifications: With a smaller younger generation, the voting power of older generations will increase. This could result in policies that disproportionately favor the needs of the elderly, such as long-term care and pensions, potentially leading to generational conflicts.  Unsustainability of Perpetual Growth: The current economic model, which relies on perpetual revenue growth, is unsustainable in the face of a shrinking customer base. Businesses will need to adapt and innovate to remain profitable in a world with fewer consumers.  To delve deeper into these thought-provoking insights and more, listeners are encouraged to check out other episodes of "Now That's Significant" on major podcast platforms.  *** Infotools Harmoni is a fit-for-purpose market research analysis, visualization, and reporting platform that gives the world's leading brands the tools they need to better understand their consumers, customers, organization, and market. www.infotools.com Established in 1990, we work with some of the world's top brands around the world, including Coca-Cola, Orange, Samsung, and Mondelēz.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on Mississauga today as residents of that city head to the polls to vote for their new mayor.

Ontario premier Doug Ford has been attacked for his remarks on Thursday in the presence of Justin Trudeau and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow when the premier said he's "had it up to here" with attacks on Ontario's Jewish community and urged anyone coming to Ontario to live not do so if they are bringing hatred and vitriol with them. A gratuitous attack on immigrants by Ford, or an elected politician speaking his mind and perhaps echoing what many have been thinking? What do Canadians want from their elected officials? Doug Ford bluntness or statements such as the one made by prime minister Justin Trudeau who following the arson attack on the Shara Tzedeck synagogue in Vancouver offered only "a synagogue was attacked last night in Vancouver in another disgusting act of antisemitism. We cannot let this hate or these acts of violence stand. This is not the Canada we want to be."   What do Canadians want from their politicians as response to Jew-hatred and acts of terrorism such as shooting at Jewish schools and arson at synagogues?

THE ZOOMER SQUAD: HOW SUPPORTIVE ARE ZOOMERS OF THE FEDERAL LIBERALS? Libby Znaimer is joined by Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP,  Bill VanGorder, Chief Advocacy and Education Officer of CARP, and Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs. It's Monday - time for our Zoomer Squad - and both politics and health are in the spotlight. New polling shows that Zoomers may be the last bastion of support for the Liberal government. And there's a new Seniors advocate in BC. One of his first acts was to go to NYC to advocate for a binding international convention on seniors' rights. Is that a useful thing to pursue? ONTARIO PREMIER DOUG FORD'S BIG BEER PLANS Libby Znaimer is joined by Bob Richardson, Senior Council, National Public Relations, and Karl Moore,  Associate Professor, Strategy & Organization AT McGill University. What's all this about the moving up of the date for selling wine and beer in corner stores? Why does the PC government want to spend $225M on this? And is it a sign that a snap election may be in the works? THE LATEST ON THE ANTI-ISRAEL ENCAMPMENT AT UOFT Libby Znaimer is joined by Rabbi Yaacov Vidal, Principal of Bais Chaya Mushka in North York and Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, Director of Advocacy and Policy at Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre. Today: we discuss the aftermath of a shooting that targeted Bais Chaya Mushka--a Jewish elementary school.

Two Ontario byelections this week and in both cases premier Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives won easily over the Liberal and NDP candidates. A precursor to the upcoming federal election?  Will area codes 416 and 905 in the federal go-round, be it later this year or next year not be sending Liberals or NDP candidates in any appreciable numbers to Ottawa?

Today's Podcast "Axe the tax" Playback of our exclusive interview with Pierre Poilievre on his "axe the (carbon) tax" national election commitment - and separately Poilievre's reply to BC premier David Eby's claim that Poilievre's "axe the tax" messaging is from the CPC leader's "baloney factory." Keeping in mind the majority of Canada's premiers support Poilievre, including the only Liberal premier Dr. Andrew Furey of Newfoundland and Labrador. Guests: Pierre Poilievre (playback) Callers Just days after George Lovie, convicted first degree murderer of the parents of Don Edwards went AWOL while on day parole with an arrest warrant issued for Lovie, he was granted full parole by just two members of the National Parole Board. The parole board also declared the double murderer doesn't need to understand why he is a risk to others. Lovie has been on day parole since 2019, but has for a year-plus been allowed to spend five nights a week in his own apartment near Sudbury, Ontario.  The Edwards family remains very much afraid of Lovie and during his being AWOL was warned by police to put their safeguarding practices into play. Guests: Don and Tannis Edwards. Public frustration with and opposition to the carbon tax continues to grow. We heard from CPC leader Pierre Poilievre on his 'axe the tax' national pre-election commitment yesterday and today, as well as BC premier David Eby characterizing Poilievre's challenge of the carbon tax as being from PP's "baloney factory."  Listeners/callers have challenged the BC premier and an email sent by a Green Show listener to Trudeau, Freeland, Guilbeault and Singh, with Poilievre and me cc'd is brief, and describes the pain the carbon tax and misdirection by politicians who do not share the difficulties the average Canadian addresses daily continues to receive positive listener response. - As well, an IPSOS poll for RBC of last October details the distress Canadians, particularly younger adults, are experiences over money woes. A majority of these Canadians told IPSOS their personal relationships are impacted by financial stress and mental health has suffered as well. The Mental Health Commission of Canada previously affirmed unemployment and financial problems to be key risks for suicide and that when the economy turns down, depression and anxiety rise. Then, we take your calls. Does listener George's email represent your experience trying to stay financially afloat and do you support George's call for tax relief?  Guests: Sean Simpson. VP. IPSOS Public Affairs. Tells us the situation has if anything only worsened since the poll last October. Callers This past week in Ottawa with the editor of Blacklock's Reporter. Guest: Tom Korski.

Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs and co-author of "Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline," discusses the global population decline and its economic implications in a recent interview. According to Bricker, fertility rates are dropping, leading to accelerated population declines since 2016-2017, even earlier than anticipated in China. This trend has significant consequences for economies that rely on people for growth and labor. The global baby boom generation will reach retirement age by 2030, causing a rapid impact on the workforce. Countries like Japan and Italy already experience annual population declines. The UN offers three population projections: high variant (14 billion), medium variant (10.4 billion by 2100), and low variant (8.6 billion). Bricker notes that the median variant, representing the UN's projection, assumes a replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman. Environmental chemicals could impact hormonal disruption in fertility rates, but Bricker attributes the primary cause to cultural and psychological factors, such as humanity's changing perspective on creating future generations. Additionally, immigration and adapting to the birth rate of one's country of residence are common. Declining global fertility rates and population growth present challenges for the economy, as consumerism and consumption decrease with aging populations, leading to slower economic growth. Governments face political challenges when attempting to address these issues by pushing back retirement ages. Countries like Japan, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Hungary are already grappling with significant population declines. Bricker acknowledges that the degrowth movement sees human activity as harmful to the planet and suggests fewer people would lead to less consumption and a better environment. However, he believes they underestimate the impact of such a transition. Bricker emphasizes that declining fertility rates require adaptation and will result in a different world for future generations. Data on declining fertility rates has become increasingly compelling, making it difficult to deny the issue. Bricker notes that this situation is unprecedented and requires careful consideration when making long-term business decisions, particularly in industries like mining and natural resources.

While Bricker was completing his B.A. studies, he began to specialize in research, polling, and analysis methods. This led to further specialization during his M.A. and Ph.D. After completing his Ph.D. at Carleton University in 1989, Bricker was hired in the Office of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney as the Director of Public Opinion Research. After a year in the Prime Minister's Office, Bricker was hired by the Angus Reid Group, a polling and analysis company that eventually merged with Ipsos.

THE ZOOMER SQUAD:  WILL THE PROVINCES COOPERATE ON PHARMACARE? Libby Znaimer is joined by Rudy Buttignol, President of CARP, Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP and Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs. How easy will it be for Ottawa to get all the provinces and territories on board with its pharmacare plan that at this point will cover diabetes medication and contraception like birth control meds?

That number is from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario which figures that there are  $3 billion in associated benefits that are stranded because of this.

Today's podcast: The province of Alberta is in conflict with the federal Liberal government of Justin Trudeau, with Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government passing the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act on December 8, 2022. - Smith has since challenged Ottawa on its overreach into provincial consitutionally enshrined jurisdiction over energy development, with the Supreme Court of Canada, by strong majority supporting Alberta's position energy development is provincial government domain. Smith has, like Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe, declared Ottawa is endangering national unity with its demands for elimination of fossil fuels to produce so-called 'clean' energy by 2030. Like Scott Moe, Danielle Smith was in Dubai for COP 28 and is not at all pleased with the positions adopted in Dubai by federal environment minister Stephen Guilbeault. Will the conflict between Alberta continue in 2024 and what might it look like and how is, in the premier's view, the Trudeau government stepping on provincial jurisdiction?

Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO IPSOS Public Affairs. Author: NEXT. On a personal level 2023 was the year I was diagnosed with stage 4, metastatic prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is an increasing concern for men who all too frequently ignore symptoms, as I did. Earlier this year we spoke with Todd Seals who in 2007, at the age of 42, was given just months to live following a metastatic stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. 16 years later Todd Seals is still very much alive and living well, although he continues to battle his cancer. - New, excellent, but hugely expensive medications are available today, but weren't when Todd was first diagnosed. His story has been reported on by major media and health organizations. Todd rejoins us today with a message for all men, their significant others and families. HIs message is personal, direct and filled with humour. Do not let 2023 pass without acknowledging symptoms and make sure 2024 is the year of treatment and maximizing life. Guest: Todd Seals. Stage 4, metastatic cancer survivor. In the Men's Health piece Todd is quoted this way "they say people faced with death have two choices: pick up the gloves or pick up a shovel. I've always been a fighter." --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom McKay Podcast Co-Producer – Matt Taylor If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!
