(September 2023) The Alberta Government recently announced its intention to move forward with splitting from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and creating a separate Alberta Pension Plan (APP). Senator Simons speaks with University of Calgary professors Dr. Lindsay Tedds and Dr. Trevor Tombe about the possibility of Alberta moving out of the Canada Pension Plan and about the Alberta Pension Plan report that was released earlier this month. Following this new discussion of the APP report is a rebroadcast of our February 2023 episode, in which Senator Simons speaks to a panel of experts about the Canadian Pension Plan and the pros and cons of a possible Alberta Pension Plan. Panelists: Dr. Lindsay Tedds, Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Calgary; Deborah Yedlin, President & CEO of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce; Ricardo Acuna, Executive Director of the Parkland Institute; Dr. Trevor Tombe, Professor of Economics at the University of Calgary; and Dr. Leo de Bever, Senior Fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute.
The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Let's get right to it, because our topic today is elemental. We are going to dig deep – DEEP! – into the economy. More specifically, what I really want to do here is put Bank of Canada policy, and its antecedents, under the microscope.What led them to last week's rate increase? What's going to be required to get us to 2% inflation? Is that even worth doing and what will be the ramifications? How hard a landing are we in for here, and how do mortgage and debt holders cope? And this emotional undercurrent to sum it all up, Herle Burly-ites: Why oh why does an economy with almost no unemployment … feel so goddamn lousy to so many people?Here to help me sound smart on all of that are Dr. Lindsay Tedds and Randall Bartlett. Dr. Tedds is currently Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Calgary. Her primary research is in tax policy, public economics and public policy design and implementation. She publishes far and wide and, in her own words, it's important that her work be accessible to broader audiences in order to spark conversations about public policy beyond the academic community. So, it's not at all shocking that her blog is called “DEAD FOR TAX REASONS”.Randall Bartlett is Senior Director of Canadian Economics with Desjardins Group. Based in Toronto, he covers the Canadian and provincial economies & housing markets outside of Quebec, as well as government budgets & fiscal policy. Before Desjardins, Mr. Bartlett was the Director of Economic Research on OMERS' Total Portfolio Management Team. And he's a frequent publisher of what's on his economic mind on both Twitter and LinkedIn, as well as various other media.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Basic income has been pitched as the solution to so many of our problems. Eliminating poverty, sparking entrepreneurship, empowering people to pursue their passions—all of these would be, its boosters claim, outcomes of a basic income. But not everyone is so optimistic about the idea. Lindsay Tedds is an associate professor at University of Calgary's Department of Economics, and co-authored the book Basic Income and a Just Society: Policy Choices for Canada's Social Safety Net. On this episode, she joins us to break down the pitfalls of a basic income, what the research shows its effects would be, and why she believes it's an idea that could, in many ways, actually make things worse. ----- Links: More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe

The BC Expert Panel on Basic Income did not recommend a broad basic income for that province, but did recommend three targeted basic incomes (for people with disabilities, youth aging out of care and renters). Dr. Lindsay Tedds, one of the members of the panel, joins Robbie Brydon and Cynthia Belaskie to discuss what they recommended, why they recommended it and the evidence behind several of their recommendations. Could any province implement a basic income or would it require the federal government? Do asset tests provide a gatekeeping function or just cause people in need to burn through what resources they have? Dr. Tedds tackles these questions and many more.Love the show?
