There's also a reality in the mix of I may be passionate about, you know, some obscure form of art, but I'm not able to support my family off of that. So I may find a career that's interesting and challenging, but my passion remains in that obscure form of art. And that's fine. I think the word passion can be a bit extreme for some people, and it can make them feel that if they don't have a passion, will they be unhappy in their career? And that's not it. But what I sure want for people is not to have the opposite of passion, which is feeling depleted and unfulfilled and it's soul-sucking and you dread Mondays.” Dr. LauraWatch this episode on Dr. Laura's YouTube channelAbout Dave Kelly:Dave Kelly is an award-winning host, writer, and interviewer who creates intelligent and deeply human moments for events and keynote conversations around the world.

One of the United States' closest allies is the nation of Canada and during this period it had one of its greatest statesman at the helm of Government, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. He stood with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul 2 as they worked to end the scourge of Communism in the late  1980s and continued on to aid President Bush as Communism fell. He formed great friendships with all of these leaders. In this episode we hear about some of that, including the former Prime Ministers reminiscence about giving President Bush's eulogy many years after the Gulf War,  and then we will watch him step up to the microphone to stand with President Bush as he began the coalition building that was necessary to stop the naked aggression of Saddam Hussein. This episode will feature that press conference from Kennebunkport, Maine.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

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.

Brian Mulroney, who served as Canada's Prime Minister from 1984 until 1993, passed away on February 29, 2024. Tributes from world leaders have been numerous and heartfelt, especially from Americans who hailed Mulroney for his bold efforts to improve Canada's relations with the United States. In this episode, Beth and Chris speak with former Quebec Premier Jean Charest who was elected to Parliament in 1984 along with Mulroney, and named to Cabinet in 1984, Canada's youngest cabinet minister at 28, and became a lifelong friend. In this very special episode, Charest shares stories and speaks to the continued relevance of the shared values that Mulroney made the foundation of Canada's relationship with the United States.

We discuss the legacy of the former PM with Mercedes Stephenson Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of The West Block.   Next, according to data from IPSOS Polling, a majority of Canadians believe we are already in a recession. Are you concerned about the economy? We take a look at the current ‘state' of the Canadian economy with Anup Srivastava, Research Chair from the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary. Finally, want to live a longer healthier life? Maybe it's time to incorporate more plant-based alternatives to your diet!

SummaryThe conversation covers various topics including the legacy of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, the changing decorum in politics, the expectations and persona of politicians, and the challenges of engaging with ordinary voters. The discussion also touches on the influence of social media, the centralization of authority within political parties, and the tendency for voters to be reactionary. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities and challenges of modern politics. The conversation covers various themes related to Canadian politics, including the possibility of the Conservative Party splintering, predictable cycles in Canadian politics, the general public's lack of interest in politics, the importance of effective marketing in politics, the Liberals' ineffective communication and marketing, improving material conditions of people's lives, the appeal of populist messages, the need for clear and engaging communication, referendums and decision-making, the role of politicians in decision-making, budgeting and public priorities, the monarchy and political structures, individual freedom and respect, electoral reform and political structures, and ending the monarchy in Canada.TakeawaysThe decorum and civility in politics have changed over time, with a shift towards more casual and accessible personas for politicians.The 24-hour news cycle and social media have contributed to the cynicism and reactionary nature of politics.There is a lack of engagement with ordinary voters, and many people feel disconnected from the political process.The expectations of politicians are scattered, with some voters valuing charisma and relatability, while others prioritize policy expertise and ideology.Political parties often face challenges in maintaining a cohesive identity and balancing the demands of different factions within their base. Canadian politics follows predictable cycles, with parties splintering and coalitions forming and falling apart.Effective marketing and clear communication are crucial in politics to cut through the noise and engage the general public.The Liberal Party in Canada needs to improve its communication and marketing strategies to connect with voters and address their concerns.Referendums can be problematic as they may not reflect the larger public interest and can be influenced by reactionary responses.The role of politicians is to make informed decisions in the best interest of the collective, considering the larger context and public priorities.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Australian Audience01:10 Discussion about Tasmanian AI01:30 Legacy of Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney08:01 Cynicism in Politics10:24 Changing Political Decorum13:03 Expectations of Politicians19:28 Populism and Social Media22:15 Perception of Politicians25:11 Expectations of Politicians27:02 Scattered Expectations of Politicians29:13 Marketing and Persona of Politicians30:39 Reactionary Voters and Lack of Engagement31:35 Branching Off from Political Parties32:00 Possibility of Conservative Party Splintering32:36 Predictable Cycles in Canadian Politics33:18 General Public's Lack of Interest in Politics34:05 Importance of Effective Marketing in Politics35:49 Liberals' Ineffective Communication and Marketing36:23 Improving Material Conditions of People's Lives37:17 The Appeal of Populist Messages38:13 The Need for Clear and Engaging Communication39:32 Referendums and Decision-Making40:01 The Role of Politicians in Decision-Making40:56 The Role of Public Engagement in Decision-Making44:16 Budgeting and Public Priorities47:22 Monarchy and Political Structures48:26 Individual Freedom and Respect50:13 Electoral Reform and Political Structures51:31 Ending the Monarchy in Canada54:04 Conclusion and Farewell This is a public episode.

It might have been a comment, an article, a book, or a Podcast (shameless plug)! In today's media coverage, it can be challenging to understand different ideas and interpretations when the nightly news allows for only a few minutes at most of actual discussion. I created the Strong and Free Podcast to explore news topics by gathering multiple perspectives together and allowing people and organizations to discuss their opinions with detail. This allows for a nuanced conversation. It also means putting aside my own bias to explore these to the fullest. It means making all guests feel welcomed to share their opinions safely, without fear that the host will paint them into a corner, or make them sound incoherent. I want this place to be truly safe. I believe everyone, even those I disagree with, deserve to be treated with respect and to be on the Podcast to share their perspective. It also means having a concrete discussion on issues and determining the best way forward.You might be asking why. And the answer is simple: I believe conversations are how we can shape our future. As long as we restore thoughtful approaches to the biggest issues of our time our conversations will have deep, valuable meaning. And, we enrich our own opinion.In order to build our stance we must consider the best evidence against it. My name is Christopher Balkaran. I hope you enjoy this content.

Audrey McLaughlin becomes Canada’s first woman to lead a national political party. Audrey McLaughlin was born in Dutton, Ontario on November 7, 1936. The first in her family to earn a university degree, she took a varied career path from there. McLaughlin served as the executive director of the Metro Toronto Canadian Mental Health Association, taught in Ghana and, in 1979, opened up her own consulting firm in Whitehorse of the Yukon Territory. In 1987, a by-election put her into the House of Commons, making her the first New Democratic party (NDP) member to represent the Yukon. She was re-elected in 1988, and when party leader Ed Broadbent stepped down, she stepped up to the plate. On December 2, 1989, she became the leader of the federal NDP and the first woman in Canada to lead a national political party. She presided over a tumultuous time in Canadian politics, marked by the formation of the Free Trade Agreement and attempts by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to change the constitution. In 1993, when the country threw out the Progressive Conservative party, the NDP also took a hit. Although McLaughlin retained her seat, her party elected only nine MPs, three less than allowed for official party status. The following year, she stepped down as party leader and did not seek re-election in 1997. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney apologizes to Italian Canadians for World War II internment. While Canada’s mistreatment of Japanese Canadians before, during and after World War II became well known, its mistreatment of Italian Canadians was less publicized. Of course, being at war with fascist Italy prompted suspicions about some Canadians of Italian descent as well. Although Canada detained hundreds of Italian Canadians in internment camps, few had their property seized as did Japanese Canadians. Even so, years of discussions ensued before Canada agreed to acknowledge its injustices to this community. On November 4, 1990 in Concord, Ontario, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney apologized to the Italian community in a speech addressed to the National Congress of Italian Canadians and the Canadian Italian Business Professionals Association. The speech was not accompanied by monetary compensation, because Italian Canadians had agreed that, given the lack of property seizures, it was not necessary. However, 15 years later, in November 2005 the federal government agreed to a redress package of $2.5 million initially, to be paid to Italian Canadian organizations to support educational and commemorative exhibits. The amount was expected to rise to $12 million in total, however, none to be given to individuals who were detained during the war. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney apologizes to Japanese Canadians. During World War II, the Canadian government moved Japanese Canadians away from the west coast, confiscated their land without compensation and held thousands as prisoners in internment camps. Even before the war ended, Japanese Canadians urged their government to right this horrible wrong. After years of negotiations and compromise, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney issued a “formal and sincere apology” on September 22, 1988. On behalf of the Canadian government, he told Japanese Canadians he was sorry for their treatment during the second world war. The apology was issued along with a settlement of a $291 million compensation fund designed to pay each of the estimated 12,000 survivors of the internment camps $21,000, tax-free. Included in the entire compensation package was money to rebuild the infrastructure of destroyed communities and $24 million to fund a Canadian Race Relations Foundation. As well, pardons were offered to persons convicted under the War Measures Act for disobeying orders. As for Canadians deported to Japan in 1946, they were offered Canadian citizenship.

“The Saudis have one of the one of the worst human rights records, the worst of the worst,” said Paul Heinbecker, a former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations and chief foreign policy advisor to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. “They still behead people, they carry out public executions, women are totally repressed, and this is a country that carries out a war with apparently a lot of indiscriminate bombings in Yemen.”
