K-Pop Demon Hunters, Netflix's most successful movie ever and the seismic cultural force of the summer, was made almost entirely by Canadian creative staff. So why isn't it a Canadian movie? Most of us probably understand that it's because it was made by American producers with American money. However, outside of some media puff pieces about the Canadian creator and co-director Maggie Kang, there isn't a lot of discussion about why we aren't doing anything to move away from being a thankless land of oursourcing. Luckily, Wildbrain animation staffer Kristian Lobb agreed with me that cartoons can be the ultimate "Nation Building project" and the two of us talk about how we could benefit from all of that pop culture soft power if we just only we moved the pieces around a little bit.

Here's a pitch for a national project that could bring cheaper power to Canadians, reduce emissions, protect our energy sovereignty and promote Indigenous reconciliation. How about a cross-Canada electricity grid powered by wind and solar? What On Earth's Indigenous climate solutions columnist, Melina Laboucan-Massimo, is with a delegation in Ottawa making the case for why this project should be a priority for Mark Carney's government.

Canada's new Major Projects Office is part of Prime Minister Mark Carney's ambition to fast-track Canada's major infrastructure projects. And the person leading it – Dawn Farrell – will play a critical role in getting those deals done quickly. But Farrell is no political appointee. So who is she? And what does her appointment to the post say about the federal government's intentions for a generational infrastructure build?Globe reporters Emma Graney and Jeffrey Jones spoke to Farrell's friends and former colleagues to learn who she is and how she operates. Graney, The Globe's energy reporter, joins The Decibel to discuss what they found.Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Charlebois unpacks what that omission says about Canada's priorities on the world stage, the risks of sidelining agrifood in big-picture policy, and why infrastructure, research, and strategy are key to strengthening Canada's rural future.

Richard Abboud's entrepreneurial journey started early. As a kid, he took a gamble on silver. A win-then-loss that taught him to embrace risk, learn from failure, and invest in ideas that might not make sense at first glance. Those lessons have shaped not only his career but his vision for the country's future: one where Canada takes bigger swings, speaks honestly about its challenges, and builds for the next generation.“If we can speak the truth to the population, we can galvanize the nation even further… Because on a pure landscape basis, this country has it all,” he tells Goldy Hyder on the Speaking of Business podcast.The founder and CEO of Forum Asset Management believes Canada has everything it needs to succeed, but unlocking that potential starts with getting comfortable with taking risks.  In fact he's one of a group of business leaders behind the program Shift Failure, aimed at teaching high school students about entrepreneurship.Tune in to hear more about his entrepreneurial journey and how he built Forum Asset Management to become a multi-billion dollar investor on the Speaking of Business podcast.  Revealing conversations with influential innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! That guest is Mark Podlasly. Mark is a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation in British Columbia and he's the CEO of First Nations Major Projects Coalition.The F-N-M-P-C is an Indigenous-led organization involved in major energy, infrastructure, and resource developments across Canada. Specifically, Mark drives engagement and advocacy for greater economic participation for member nations. And, he has over 25 years' experience leading the planning and execution of complex capital projects around the world.So, “Major Projects” ... “National Projects” ... “Nation Building” ... we hear all these terms coming from the Carney government.  But if it's truly a National Project, it has to be with Indigenous support and participation. Easy to say. Maybe a little more difficult to make a reality. That's what Mark and I are talking about today.How do those negotiations happen? What's the right amount of equity? What are the other factors that matter, besides equity? Are there past examples we can look to for guidance? And is the governance in place to get it all accomplished?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

How similar is Vietnam to China: defying Fukuyama's thesis by retaining a state-socialist political system while adopting capitalism?

Send us a textHave you been so focused on national issues that you've missed your opportunity for local kingdom impact? That's exactly where Tyler McHart found himself before a profound shift in his thinking about Christian engagement in business, family, and community.Drawing from Jeremiah 29's surprising instructions to exiled Israelites in Babylon, Tyler unpacks how believers are called not to retreat from hostile territory but to establish themselves firmly within it. "Build houses, plant gardens, have children..." wasn't just advice for ancient Jews—it's a blueprint for modern Christians seeking to create lasting impact in their communities.Tyler challenges compartmentalized thinking that keeps our faith, business, and civic engagement in separate silos. Through personal stories—including a powerful family gathering where he and his sisters intentionally passed down their mother's values to ten grandchildren—he illustrates what it means to establish a godly legacy that transcends generations.This episode explores how Christians can "start their own nation" by creating wealth through entrepreneurship, establishing family values that resist cultural corruption, and strategically engaging with local government and business networks. Tyler shares his journey from national-level political focus to meaningful local involvement, including developing relationships with state representatives and community leaders.Whether you're a business owner, employee, parent, or simply a believer looking to maximize your kingdom impact, this message offers practical steps for becoming more intentionally engaged in transforming your community from the inside out. As Tyler says, "The family is going to help change the world, and I believe that starts with strong fathers, men of God that have a vision for their life."Ready to plant your garden in "Satan's city" and create an oasis of godly influence? This episode will show you how to begin building your own nation right where you're planted.Support the show

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the fascinating and often misunderstood legacy of John Dickinson, the man known as “The Penman of the Revolution.” While others raced toward independence, Dickinson stood firm in his belief that liberty must be secured through law, not rushed into through war. He helped ignite the flames of resistance with his Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, yet refused to sign the Declaration of Independence, only to later pick up a musket and fight for the very cause he once questioned. Discover how Dickinson's moral conviction, intellectual rigor, and post-war contributions helped shape America's founding in ways few recognize today. Episode Highlights: Why John Dickinson refused to sign the Declaration of Independence despite being a leading voice for colonial rights How the Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania became one of the most influential texts of the American resistance Dickinson's surprising postwar legacy, from drafting state constitutions to defending the U.S. Constitution in The Letters of Fabius

This week on the podcast, we discussed Jackie's recent visit to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, to attend the Energy NL conference. Energy NL is the province's energy supply and service sector association, which annually hosts the province's flagship conference on conventional and clean energy. This week, Charlene Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Energy NL, joins the podcast to explore Newfoundland and Labrador's energy potential and the discussions at the conference. Among the topics covered were potential nation-building projects, such as the Churchill River hydroelectric development—a joint $33 billion potential initiative by Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro and Hydro-Québec that aims to add nearly 4 GW of new electricity generation capacity on the river. Another significant project discussed was Equinor's Bay du Nord offshore oil development, which could open a new offshore basin 500 km off the coast of Newfoundland. In addition to covering the conference highlights, Jackie and Peter recapped the past week's events, including the constructive First Ministers' meeting in Saskatoon on June 2nd. During this meeting, Prime Minister Carney outlined the criteria for nation-building projects. Furthermore, on June 6th, the Carney government tabled new legislation, “Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy: An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act.” The goal is to pass the bill into law by Canada Day. Content referenced in this podcast: Visit Peter Tertzakian's art show at the Elevation Gallery in Canmore, “Persistence, Obsolescence and Renewal: A Visual Inquiry Into the Lifecycle of Energy Infrastructure.” Alberta Electricity System Operator (AESO) approach to extensive load connections (Data Centres), June 4 Avik Dey, President and CEO of Capital Power, LinkedIn post regarding AESO's approach to data centre development, June 4 Prime Minister of Canada Office, “First Ministers' statement on building a strong Canadian economy and advancing major projects,” June 2 “Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy: An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act,” tabled June 5 “Insiders say Mark Carney could compromise on the emissions cap,” Toronto Star, June 6 Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

The prime minister & premiers are seeking national projects that will inspire the country & laying the groundwork for a future powerhouse. 

At a time of serious conflict with our neighbours to the south, perhaps a more concerning conflict might be coming from within. As calls for separation in places like Alberta grow louder, it brings up the question of how a nation can operate with respective regional interests? And, can Canada keep itself from coming apart? Joining to discuss these regional tensions are former premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney; Martha Hall Findlay, a former MP and director of the School of Public Policy and Palmer Chair at the University of Calgary; Felix Mathieu, Professor in the Department of Law at the Université du Quebec en Outaouais and co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Political Science; and John Ibbitson, journalist, writer and co-author with Darrell Bricker for their forthcoming book, "Breaking Point: The Big Shifts That Put Canada at Risk."

After seven years of trying, we've finally done it—this episode of Inside the Rope features one of the most influential figures in institutional investment in Australia: David Neal, CEO of IFM Investors and founding CIO and former CEO of the Future Fund, Australia's $300+ billion sovereign wealth fund. David takes us behind the scenes of building the Future Fund from the ground up—how a clean slate, a world-class board, and a clear long-term mandate allowed for a new investment philosophy rooted in flexibility, illiquidity premiums, and global best practice. We talk about the importance of strong governance, the benefits of a total portfolio approach, and why the endowment model still resonates in long-term capital allocation. Now at the helm of IFM Investors—a global institutional asset manager originally founded by Australian industry super funds—David shares insights into investing on behalf of working people, the tailwinds driving infrastructure investment globally, and why private markets are an increasingly powerful lever for value creation. IFM was conceived by a collective of Australian industry super funds with a bold ambition: to give working people access to the kinds of global, complex investments traditionally reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Today, IFM manages over $250 billion across infrastructure, private equity, credit, equities, and real estate—always with a clear mission to deliver strong, long-term outcomes for its members.

Writing histories of communism and "really existing socialism" have been fraught with political tension for decades. On the one hand, sectarian debates in the global left too often overlooked the nuances of really existing socialism and cutting edge academic research in order to align with specific ideological orientations. On the other hand, and far more consequential, Cold War-era anti-communism (and the collapse of the Soviet Union that followed) engendered generations of historians - both professional and not - with an implicit hostility to communism as an intellectual starting point. While many historians have directly opposed anti-communist History writing, and successfully shaped and contributed to academic and popular discussions, anti-communism persists in the academy and popular discourses globally. So how should we assess and understand "anti-communism" and its relationship with History? And how do popular memory politics, nationalist imaginations, global political shifts, archival access and academic trends play into it? And what does all this mean for the left and socialist politics today?On today's episode we discuss all this and more with Stefan Gužvica, using his recent article in Jacobin on the notorious "Black Book of Communism" as a starting point.
