Everyone from the Bank of Canada to leading economists from across the country are discussing what's at the root of Canada's productivity challenges.   To help us sort through the discussion, I'm joined this episode by the Conference Board of Canada's Director of Economic Research Tony Bonen and the Founder and Executive Director of the Centre for the Study of Living Standards (CSLS) Andrew Sharpe.We discuss how we should understand productivity and why it's important for it to improve.  Near the end of the episode we hear about new research from the Conference Board of Canada linking skills to our productivity challenges.  We'll hear that Tony thinks this is a promising new avenue—in part because there are many levers that the government can use to support skills development.About our guests:Tony Bonen is the Director of Economic Research at The Conference Board of Canada.

It has been over 20 days since the House of Representatives ousted, and then successively failed to re-elect, a speaker of the House. The dysfunction could not be coming at a worse time: war in Europe, war in the Middle East, rising danger in the Pacific. Budgets are not getting passed, much less additional aid packages for Ukraine and Israel. The House cannot even convene to condemn the Hamas terrorists – what the hell is wrong with our country? One infuriating piece of information from our podcast today: a large portion of representatives voting against aid to Ukraine are “voting no, hoping yes,” an indication that partisanship has truly eroded the very fabric and efficacy of government. America desperately needs intellectual consistency, good-faith politics, and honesty. How can we right this sinking ship?Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick represents Pennsylvania's first district. In the 118th Congress, Congressman Fitzpatrick sits on the Ways and Means Committee and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In addition, he co-chairs the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus and Congressional Ukraine Caucus, while also serving on the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force and NATO Parliamentary Assembly. Prior to serving Congress, he was an FBI Special Agent and a Federal Prosecutor.Download the transcript here.

It's an important week overseas, as 31 world leaders, including President Biden, head to Vilnius, Lithuania to attend a NATO summit. As the war on Ukraine surpasses the 500-day mark, the group will likely focus on how they can continue effectively aiding Ukrainian allies and potentially increasing the group's military spending to defeat Russia. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has returned from a trip to Beijing, where she bowed several times to a Chinese official — a move many condemned, claiming it demonstrated subservience on behalf of America. House Intelligence Committee Chairman and Head of the U.S. Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Congressman Mike Turner, has been heavily tuned into everything happening overseas. He joins the Rundown to discuss what he believes the key topics will be at this week's NATO Summit, why there's broad bipartisan agreement that the U.S. should continue aiding Ukraine, and his reaction to Secretary Yellen's recent “disappointing” trip to China. Kelsi Sheren enlisted in the Canadian Army at just 19 years old and eventually reached her goal of serving her country in Afghanistan. Her service experience in the Middle East left her with post-traumatic stress disorder and battling suicidal thoughts after being sent home because of her deteriorating mental health. Sheren says she still has her struggles with PTSD every day, but she has turned her pain into passion. On the Rundown, she shares the details of how her mental health journey led her to create a successful jewelry business, her advocacy on behalf of veterans for better support and resources, and talks about her new book, Brass & Unity: One Woman's Journey Through the Hell of Afghanistan and Back.

The pandemic created upward pressure on housing and recent increases in interest rates are pushing affordability even further away for some. The OECD now ranks Canada as having the most expensive housing market among all other G7 countries. Our guests this episode explore how we got to this point and what if anything can be done to create a more affordable housing market. They share that not only are housing prices forecasted to continue to rise, but that the affordability crisis is extending deep into the rental markets. This is further deepening the crisis and creates greater pressure for near and long-term solutions.About our guests:Tony Bonen is the Director of Economic Research at The Conference Board of Canada.

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3PtLs9e As the nature of conflict changes, so too does its periodicity and duration. There have been many long, nearly forever, wars - The Reconquista, 774 years; Roman-Persian Wars, 681 years; The Germanic Wars, 588 years; Arab-Byzantine Wars, 400 years; The Ottoman Wars, 573 years; The Philippines Revolt, 377 years; Mexican Indian Wars, 414 years. Many wars continue today, especially civil wars, e.g. Myanmar from 1949, Afghanistan from 1978, Somalia from 1991, Syria from 2011. Some would argue that in modern warfare the use of overwhelming force by major states precludes long-term conventional conflict. Others would argue that chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats encourage long-term conflict. Cyber aggression, terrorism, and piracy are perennial, but arguments abound that somehow these are not ‘real' wars. In order to explore this topic with a view to gaining insight into when a conflict is due to be short, or when a conflict is likely to persist, CityForum and Z/Yen have assembled an unusual panel of a Vice Admiral, former Chair of NATO Parliamentary Assembly, and a wildly-popular speculative fiction author, along with a City economist and scientist. The exploration will centre on trying use insights to gauge the likely duration of the Russo-Ukrainian war since 2014. Here, our speculative fiction author will provide an unusual perspective, that of narrative from an alternative universe featuring the continuous Crimean War. The historic Crimean War, so named as most of the fighting took place on the Crimean Peninsula, was waged from 1853 to 1856. It began when Russia's Czar Nicolas I, claiming to be protecting Orthodox Christians, took advantage of a demonstrably weak Ottoman-Turkish empire and invaded the principalities of Moldavia and Walachia in July 1853. In October the Ottoman-Turks retaliated by declaring war on Russia. Austria was concerned over its economic lifeline, the Danube River, which flowed through and terminated in the occupied provinces. Britain was concerned over its trades routes through Turkey into India. France simply wanted revenge for its sound defeat at the hands of the Russians in 1812. It wasn't long before they were drawn into the Russo-Turkish conflict. The war fighting raged for several years, and contained the famous "Charge of the Light Brigade" which ended the Battle of Balaclava on 24 October 1854. Over the winter of 1854-55 the allied French, British and Turkish forces were joined by the Italian kingdom of Sardinia, who wanted British and French support in expelling Austria from Italy. The Treaty of Paris, signed 30 March 1856, ended the war. Among terms of the treaty, Russia was forbidden to sail a fleet on the Black Sea, the Turks had to promise better treatment for their Christian subjects, and the territory at the mouth of the Danube was returned to Turkey. An overwhelming majority of casualties in the war died from disease and poor medical care. Florence Nightingale played a big role with a more scientific approach to nursing. The war was the first to employ armoured warships, submarine mines, intercontinental telegraph, and war photography. It gave rise to the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest award for military valour. But what if the Crimean War continued? In Jasper Fforde's Nextian Universe, the Crimean War never ends, continuing for some 168 years, spanning some seven books, The Eyre Affair, Lost In A Good Book, The Well Of Lost Plots, Something Rotten, Thursday Next: First Among Sequels, One Of Our Thursdays Is Missing, and The Woman Who Died a Lot
