Episode 21 of Creative Playdate features an interview with Canadian illustrator and super nice guy, Michael Byers. His editorial illustration is whimsical and colorful and always includes a touch of humor - as is Michael, himself. We talk about whether or not we should be properly dressed to take our kids to school and Michael mentions a lot of great writing on creativity that is worth checking out. Michael recently created all of the illustrations for an incredible activity book for kids called "SUPERPOWERS! A Great Big Collection of Awesome Activities, Quirky Questions, and Wonderful Ways to See Just How Super You Already Are." I only wish my daughter was old enough to read and write, because it seems like a fun thing for kids to do alone or with their parents or friends. We also talked about daily drawing and drawing from reference in a way that has inspired me to do more daily drawing and drawing from life. It's easy to get stuck on your image reference but it's nice to let your personality show through in the way you draw things straight from your own mind. Creative Playdate is syndicated at Illustration Age. The theme music was created by Thomas James and Jason Ritz. You can follow the show on Twitter and Instagram.

Your hosts, Lynn, Levon, Marie Claude, Marc  (scroll to bottom for video of show) ListenEN_Interview_2-20180525-WIE20 The Friendly International Dispute Over an Arctic Island View of Hans Island located in the centre of the Kennedy Channel of Nares Strait, which separates Ellesmere Island from northern Greenland. (Photo courtesy of Michael Byers) It's a very small island in the middle of the Arctic ocean. Trouble is it's smack dab in the middle of the maritime boundary separating Greenland, i.e. Denmark,  and Canada. Small, barren and uninhabited, both countries claim it, and have done so for years. Now both Canada and Denmark/Greenland have decided to establish a task force to resolve this friendly dispute.  Levon speaks to Canadian Arctic expert Michael Byers who says the longstanding dispute seems to come back in the news whenever a national election looms, but says the island dispute should be very easy to resolve. Canada's (almost) Official Bird- gets its real name back The Canada Jay is not shy and will land right on your camera even without the temptation of food. (Gord Belyea) Canada, like many countries, has an official animal, the beaver and even a second official animal , the Canadian horse,.  In fact, Canada, and each province, like many countries and states, also have official animals, trees, or other plants, and birds. Canada so far hasn't named an official national bird, although the Royal Canadian Geographical Society held a nation wide contest and the grey jay won.  Except, it really shouldn't be called the grey jay.  A long standing effort to recover the bird's real name has finally born fruit. Lynn spoke with ornithological expert David Bird about the re-naming of the "Canada Jay". U.S. to withdraw from Joint Comphensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) Iran nuclear deal Several world leaders and top government officials including John Kerry of the US and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif are shown in 2015 announcing the deal worked out to end Iran's nuclear weapons programme for at least a decade. Source: CBC news Two weeks ago, U.S. President Trump announced the country was withdrawing from the JCPOA saying it was a bad deal and did not go nearly far enough in limiting Iran's nuclear weapons development goals and capability.  That would mean the re-imposition of harsh sanctions. Iran would like to keep the deal to avoid such sanctions and has expressed willingness to re-negotiate although with an underlying threat that it might restart its uranium enrichment efforts if a deal isn't reached quickly. Most other countries, including Canada, expressed dismay at the U.S decision. In this excerpt, international affairs expert Ferry de Kerckhove from the University of Ottawa says Canada's opinion carries little influence but agrees the U.S decision is ill considered. Lobsters and Snow Leopards Marie-Claude is back from a trip to the Maritime province of New Brunswick and show photos of her experience with lobsters and a lobster recipe, and we have a brief look at Lynn's story along with the cutest photo of baby snow leopards born in the Winnipeg Zoo.

Michael Byers, Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia, said it’s possible that the launch of the Yars ballistic missiles is also linked to the large-scale Zapad 2017 exercise by Russian and Belorussian forces in Belarus and in western Russia, which is based on a scenario involving armed conflict between Russia and Western countries.

Michael Byers, Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia, said he was struck by the continuity of policy from not only the last year and a half of Trudeau government but also under Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.

The sudden resignation of Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard Hunter Totoo at the end of May to seek treatment for addiction, was a major setback for the Trudeau government, said Michael Byers, Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia.

“We have no clear indication of any future direction,” said Michael Byers, Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia. “The one element that relates directly to the Arctic is his view on climate change and obviously that will cause some real problems if he proceeds to dismantle U.S. climate change policy.”

While a cruise through the Northwest Passage could be beautiful and interesting, lawyer Michael Byers says it would carry risks and add to climate change.
