Who owns Outer Space? Could Elon Musk become President of Mars? How would one negotiate a treaty with aliens? Space is becoming a very busy place, with 90 orbital launches occurring in 2017 alone. Many of the governance challenges that currently exist on Earth will soon exist in Space. Yet the unique conditions of Space, including extremes of danger, distance and time, will necessarily require fundamental changes to the conduct of international relations and the content of international law. This talk will focus on the current or readily foreseeable issues of Space debris, Space Mining, and the establishment of settlements on Mars Speaker: Dr. Michael Byers Michael Byers holds the Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia. His work focuses on Outer Space, the Arctic, climate change, armed conflict, and Canadian foreign and defence policy. Dr. Byers has been a Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford University, and a Professor of Law at Duke University. He has also taught as a visiting professor at the Universities of Cape Town, Tel Aviv, Nord (Norway) and Novosibirsk (Russia). Dr. Byers is the author, most recently, of International Law and the Arctic (Cambridge University Press), which won the 2013 Donner Prize. He is a regular contributor to the Globe and Mail newspaper.

Of all the developed countries with universal, single-payer health care systems, Canada is the only one that does not include coverage for prescription drugs. There are currently 23 different public drug and supplementary plans within Alberta alone, but they provide benefits for just 20% of Albertans. Within Canada we have a patchwork of drug coverage, with more than 100,000 different drug and supplementary plans, yet, 1 in 10 Canadians cannot afford their prescription drugs. Even if we factor in private and work plans, which cannot be relied upon, the cost of plans are expensive and copayments are cost-prohibitive. Another major shortcoming of our current patchwork system is the costly burden to our health care system, and most importantly, the human costs caused by the financial barriers to necessary and life- saving medications. This results in expensive hospitalization and ultimately, in far too many cases, death. In a 2015 Angus Reid Poll, 91% of Canadians (92% of Albertans) supported a National Pharmacare Plan. Our health care system is at the cusp of a historical expansion unmatched since the inception of Medicare. The federal government, along with their provincial counterparts, is currently in conversations as to what the implementation of a national pharmacare program would look like. It has taken decades of advocacy to reach this momentous tipping point. The speaker will argue that this is a critical moment politically and explain why Friends of Medicare supports the establishment of a single-payer national pharmacare program with universal coverage for all Canadians. Speaker: Sandra Azocar Sandra Azocar has been an advocate for a fair and equal society for more than 30 years in Alberta. Her past experience includes working as a child protection worker, and volunteer work within the Chilean community as well as the labour movement. She has served in many positions in the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) including Vice-President from 2007-2012. Sandra had also served on the Board of Directors of Friends of Medicare for 6 years prior to becoming the Executive Director in 2012. She currently sits on the board of the Canadian Health Coalition, Public Interest Alberta and the Board of the Chilean Canadian Cultural Society. She is an oft-quoted, tireless advocate for the protection and improvement of the Alberta's Public health Care system.

In May 2015 the people of Alberta were faced with a choice at the ballot box and they surprised the pundits by choosing an NDP government, despite all the predictions that the Progressive Conservatives would add to their 44 year term in office. Now, almost four years later, the Premier has indicated that she will hold the election in the Spring of 2019 and again ask the people of Alberta for their vote. Current polls show that the United Conservative Party and the New Democrat Party are the two contenders for government, with the New Democrats trailing in many of those polls. The former government's party, the Progressive Conservatives, no longer exist but other parties intending to run for seats, if not government include the Alberta Party, the Alberta Liberal Party, the Freedom Conservative Party and the Green Party of Alberta. With so many parties vying for the voters, what will structure the vote choice? The speaker will contend that the 2019 election will provide a clear choice between two visions of Alberta and the election will prove to be a more important one than the 2015 one was. Speaker: Hon. Shannon Phillips, Minister of Environment, Parks and Climate Change Shannon Phillips was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on May 5, 2015 representing the constituency of Lethbridge-West. On May 24, 2015, Ms. Phillips was sworn in to cabinet as Minister of Environment and Parks. On February 2, 2016, Ms. Phillips was also named the Minister Responsible for the Climate Change Office. Prior to serving with the Legislative Assembly, she worked with the Alberta Federation of Labour as a policy analyst for five years. She also spent five years as a member of the board of directors for the Womanspace Resource Centre, a not for profit organization that provides resources, referrals and education to the community and to individual women. In 1999 she received a bachelor of arts with honours in political science and in 2002 she completed her master of arts, both at the University of Alberta. Together with her two sons Ms. Phillips resides in Lethbridge, Alberta.

Canadian churches have made a huge impact on key justice issues over the past 50 years on education, economics, refugee sponsorship, the environment, domestic violence, public health care, women's rights, and the cancellation of the debts of Global South countries. A new book from Citizens for Public Justice's Joe Gunn features interviews with ten key people who have been active in social justice struggles across Canada for many years. How did Christians from varied ecumenical backgrounds work together to help end apartheid, admit refugees from Chile and Indochina, defend Indigenous Peoples' rights, promote economic justice, and more? These wonderful stories from tireless labourers for justice present relevant lessons for today. Their words and experience inspire a direction and model for faith-based action for social and ecological justice today - and in the years ahead. His book will be available for purchase at the event. Speaker: Joe Gunn Joe Gunn is the executive director at Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ). He worked in Latin American refugee camps and served as a Country Director for Canadian Save the Children in Nicaragua. For over ten years, Joe worked with the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, where he developed policy and coordinated work in areas of social justice, missions, and Aboriginal peoples. He served as the founding vice-chair of KAIROS-Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, and has been active in the Canadian Council of Churches' Commission for Justice and Peace. Joe coordinated the Make Poverty History campaign, and engaged in research, public speaking and advocacy on national and international issues. After engaging Canadian faith communities in speaking out on climate justice, Joe was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for "exemplary service and commitment to the betterment of the community”. In 2012. In June 2013, He was awarded a "Certificate of Honour" from Development and Peace for "commitment to the cause of social justice and efforts to improve living conditions for the poorest of the poor in the Global South". Saint Paul University granted Joe the Eugène de Mazenod Medal in April, 2017. The Medal “honours individuals who have made a significant contribution to the development of human capital in their community.” Moderator: Tad Mitsui Date: Thursday, Jan 10, 2019 Time: Doors open 11:30 am, Presentation 12 noon, buffet lunch 12:30 pm, Q&A 1 – 1:30 pm Location: Royal Canadian Legion (north door) 324 Mayor Magrath Dr. S.

Many Albertan worry about public spending, deficits and a growing debt. Does balancing the books in Alberta hinge on building pipelines to tidewater or are there other ways to achieve that goal? Are the present provincial Government's budget predictions unrealistic? The speaker will articulate his and the Alberta Liberal Party views on deficits, pipelines, economic development, opioids and Alberta politics. David Kahn will further talk about his vision for the Alberta Liberals and argue that corporate and union donations to PACs should be barred, restrictions on out-of-province donations and setting donation limits for individuals. Donations to PACs above $250 and PAC expenditures should be made transparent to the public. He will further contend that Alberta's Government has a golden opportunity to be a national leader in democratic accountability and electoral finance reforms by implementing these recommendation. Speaker: David Kahn, Leader of the Alberta Liberal Party David Khan was elected Leader of the Alberta Liberal Party in June 2017. He believes strongly in the liberal values of individual rights and freedoms, equality of opportunity for all, and fairness for future generations in fiscal, economic, and environmental terms. David is committed to building a sustainable forward-looking economy that will serve us today and tomorrow. Since becoming Leader David has consistently highlighted the inadequate response of the NDP government to the economic challenges facing Alberta. He has been in the forefront of the fight to get dark money out of politics and bring greater regulation to Political Action Committees and he has championed several other important issues such as the critical situation facing EMS and Red Alerts, Special Needs Education Supports and the Opioid Crisis. David was born and raised in Calgary. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of British Columbia and a Juris Doctor degree in Law from the University of Toronto. He studied international and European human rights and constitutional law at Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary, and French at l'Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) in Chicoutimi, Québec. David is fluent in both English and French. Currently, as a lawyer licensed in Alberta, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, David practises primarily in the field of Indigenous rights and land claims.

Many Albertan worry about public spending, deficits and a growing debt. Does balancing the books in Alberta hinge on building pipelines to tidewater or are there other ways to achieve that goal? Are the present provincial Government's budget predictions unrealistic? The speaker will articulate his and the Alberta Liberal Party views on deficits, pipelines, economic development, opioids and Alberta politics. David Kahn will further talk about his vision for the Alberta Liberals and argue that corporate and union donations to PACs should be barred, restrictions on out-of-province donations and setting donation limits for individuals. Donations to PACs above $250 and PAC expenditures should be made transparent to the public. He will further contend that Alberta's Government has a golden opportunity to be a national leader in democratic accountability and electoral finance reforms by implementing these recommendation. Speaker: David Kahn, Leader of the Alberta Liberal Party David Khan was elected Leader of the Alberta Liberal Party in June 2017. He believes strongly in the liberal values of individual rights and freedoms, equality of opportunity for all, and fairness for future generations in fiscal, economic, and environmental terms. David is committed to building a sustainable forward-looking economy that will serve us today and tomorrow. Since becoming Leader David has consistently highlighted the inadequate response of the NDP government to the economic challenges facing Alberta. He has been in the forefront of the fight to get dark money out of politics and bring greater regulation to Political Action Committees and he has championed several other important issues such as the critical situation facing EMS and Red Alerts, Special Needs Education Supports and the Opioid Crisis. David was born and raised in Calgary. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of British Columbia and a Juris Doctor degree in Law from the University of Toronto. He studied international and European human rights and constitutional law at Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary, and French at l'Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) in Chicoutimi, Québec. David is fluent in both English and French. Currently, as a lawyer licensed in Alberta, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, David practises primarily in the field of Indigenous rights and land claims. He has represented clients at all levels of court in numerous Canadian jurisdictions, including the Supreme Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal, and superior and appellate courts in numerous provinces, as well as before regulatory and administrative tribunals and in private arbitrations.

For 120 years, the Lethbridge & District Exhibition has provided programming and facilities focused on agricultural, social, entertainment, cultural and economic needs of Lethbridge and Southern Alberta. Over this time the population of the area has increased dramatically and while facilities/programming have been added at Exhibition Park trying to keep pace, arguably, present buildings are old and inadequate. The Board of Directors of Lethbridge & District Exhibition approved an exciting new development plan for Exhibition Park. This plan represents 3 years of comprehensive examination which included a financial review, facility condition audit of all buildings, needs and market assessments, and finally a multiple accounts evaluation framework study to arrive at the preferred site for redevelopment. Along with conceptual designs of a new Trade Centre, the redevelopment plan contains a thoroughly vetted business case which demonstrates long term sustainability. The speakers will contend that the next step of the plan involves community engagement and gathering letters of support for the project and that success will ultimately depend on funding support from all three levels of government. Speakers: Rudy Friesen and Michael Wuchterl Rudy Friesen was raised on a farm south of Saskatoon. After attending the University of Saskatchewan, his career in the exhibition industry began in Saskatoon as Prairieland's Agriculture Manager in 1993. He served as President of the Board of the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibitions in 1995/96. In 1999, Rudy moved to the Swift Current Exhibition as General Manager and in 2002 he became General Manager at Exhibition Park in Lethbridge, a position he still holds today. Michael Wuchterl was born and raised in Edmonton, AB. He played hockey in the WHL from 2003-08 with the Silvertips, Giants and Hurricanes. Mike won a Memorial Cup with the Vancouver Giants in 2007 and then moved on to play with University of Lethbridge Pronghorns, where he suffered a career ending injury. From then on, Mike transitioned into working as a business professional in marketing and promotions with Clear Sky Radio in Lethbridge. In 2015, he became Supervisor of Marketing & Sales at Exhibition Park.

The last minute new trade agreement among Mexico, Canada and the United States, the so-called USMCA, made headlines in late September. But beneath those headlines, the difference the agreement could mean for those countries are likely to be minimal. The difficult negotiating issues – Canada's dairy market/supply management, intellectual property, and the dispute settlement mechanism between member countries as well as investors - have been controversial since the inception of NAFTA in 1994 and even earlier It's not uncommon for politicians to rebrand existing trade deals, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that President Trump wanted to call the new agreement USMCA. While little has changed, it's far more eye-catching to announce a brand-new agreement, rather than to work within the confines of existing agreements. Signing ceremonies and new acronyms stick in voters' minds longer than simply tinkering with an agreement that already is in place—even if the new agreement only includes minor changes. How will Canada's dairy farmers and auto workers be affected by the new deal? Was dispute settlement and intellectual property protected? And could the agreement limit Canada's ability to negotiate trade deal with other nations, for example China? The speaker will draw attention to what sets apart USMCA from NAFTA and speculate on the long term consequences of the agreement. Speaker: Dr. Chris Kukucha Christopher J. Kukucha is a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Lethbridge. He is the author of The Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy and a co-editor of several books including The Harper Era in Canadian Foreign Policy (Adam Chapnick), International Political Economy (Greg Anderson), and the third edition of Readings in Canadian Foreign Policy (Duane Bratt).

In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into effect, creating one of the world's largest free trade zones at that time and arguably laying the foundations for strong economic growth and rising prosperity for Canada, the United States, and Mexico. However, since Donald Trump became US President last year, renegotiating NAFTA along with other trade deals, has been high on his agenda The original NAFTA took 14 months to negotiate and just as long to ratify. The current negotiations are into their eight month and of the roughly 30 chapters to complete, many are not agreed upon. That's too slow, current U.S. trade czar Robert Lighthizer, said at the close of a recent negotiating session in Mexico City. The Trump administration are hoping to complete negotiations by May, 2018 so the agreement can be ratified before the opposition Democrats have a chance to regain control of Congress and or the Senate in January 2019. Mexican presidential hopeful Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador could also hurt progress on a NAFTA deal if it's not completed soon, should he be elected later this year. The speaker will untangle the web of possible scenarios surrounding NAFTA negotiations and speculate on its final outcome, including the potential of Canada getting caught up in a trade war with US Speaker: Dr. Chris Kukucha Christopher J.

The FASD Adult Justice Program was developed as a partnership under the umbrella of the South Alberta FASD Service Network and the 10-year strategic plan, in response to a need identified by the Alberta Government. The Program works collaboratively with a number of service providers, community agencies and professionals committed to effecting change within the Justice System for individuals and families affected by FASD. The FASD Justice Program operation model is based, in part on the FASD Youth Justice Project which has been operating successfully in South Western Alberta since 2000. Peak, the organization that oversees the Adult FASD Justice Program, began providing services in 1992. The original vision of Peak was to provide maximum vocational integration in the community. Peak Vocational and Support Services was established as an employment placement agency that now provides, full time day program supports, residential, employment, outreach and complex needs supports including supports in the Justice System. Changes have taken place over the years to expand services and now the agency accommodates individuals with different types of goals for their lives. Peak believes that all people in this world have the right to have goals, to have dreams and to be able to fulfill them to greatest extent that they are able to. The speaker will describe the variable roles Peak can play in helping individuals who live with an FASD achieve fulfilment in their daily lives as well as what that looks like in terms of a social return on investment. Speaker: Sabrina Hacker Sabrina Hacker Is the FASD Adult Justice and Community Outreach Program Coordinator at Peak Vocational and Support Services. Sabrina worked in local law enforcement as the Dangerous Dog Officer for 11 years becoming a certified member of NACA level three and was recognized as being the highest trained officer in Canada. In 2004 Sabrina went back to school majoring in Justice Studies/Corrections. Upon graduating, Sabrina was approached to create a diversionary Justice Program that would identify the struggles FASD clients face in main stream Justice. Once identified, the program develops a case plan, connects with community partners and works collaboratively to reduce recidivism.

The FASD Adult Justice Program was developed as a partnership under the umbrella of the South Alberta FASD Service Network and the 10-year strategic plan, in response to a need identified by the Alberta Government. The Program works collaboratively with a number of service providers, community agencies and professionals committed to effecting change within the Justice System for individuals and families affected by FASD. The FASD Justice Program operation model is based, in part on the FASD Youth Justice Project which has been operating successfully in South Western Alberta since 2000. Peak, the organization that oversees the Adult FASD Justice Program, began providing services in 1992. The original vision of Peak was to provide maximum vocational integration in the community. Peak Vocational and Support Services was established as an employment placement agency that now provides, full time day program supports, residential, employment, outreach and complex needs supports including supports in the Justice System. Changes have taken place over the years to expand services and now the agency accommodates individuals with different types of goals for their lives. Peak believes that all people in this world have the right to have goals, to have dreams and to be able to fulfill them to greatest extent that they are able to. The speaker will describe the variable roles Peak can play in helping individuals who live with an FASD achieve fulfilment in their daily lives as well as what that looks like in terms of a social return on investment. Speaker: Sabrina Hacker Sabrina Hacker Is the FASD Adult Justice and Community Outreach Program Coordinator at Peak Vocational and Support Services. Sabrina worked in local law enforcement as the Dangerous Dog Officer for 11 years becoming a certified member of NACA level three and was recognized as being the highest trained officer in Canada. In 2004 Sabrina went back to school majoring in Justice Studies/Corrections. Upon graduating, Sabrina was approached to create a diversionary Justice Program that would identify the struggles FASD clients face in main stream Justice. Once identified, the program develops a case plan, connects with community partners and works collaboratively to reduce recidivism.

The terrestrial biosphere is under increasing pressure as a result of climatic changes, human disturbance, and secondary effects of these, including fire and pathogen/insect outbreaks. In many regions, land surface changes may be occurring more rapidly than expected. The Advanced Resolution Terradynamics Monitoring System Laboratory (ARTeMiS) is dedicated to the characterization of process feedbacks through the 3D environment in both space and time, and from plant to region. The fusion of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) research, spectral and active remote sensing tools, in situ measurements, and long-term environmental monitoring of ecosystems provides process-based understanding at scales that are relevant for making decisions. With an emphasis on fire and water issues, the speakers will explain how advancements in 3D monitoring technologies improve our ability to forecast and prepare for some of the natural resource and hazard challenges faced by Albertans. Speakers: Dr. Chris Hopkinson and Dr. Laura Chasmer Dr. Chris Hopkinson founded the ARTeMIS Lab in 2013, when he joined the University of Lethbridge after working as an Environmental Research Scientist with CSIRO in Canberra, Australia. Prior to this, he directed the airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) research operations and outreach of the Canadian Consortium for LiDAR Environmental Applications Research (C-CLEAR), while employed as a Research Scientist and Lecturer at the Applied Geomatics Research Group in Nova Scotia. With a background in engineering and geography, Chris' earliest and still active research interests are water and forest resources and how they change through time. Chris is interested in the integration of in situ, high-resolution remote sensing, spatial and temporal data sources to better understand hydrological and biological process dynamics in mountain and northern environments. Dr. Laura Chasmer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Lethbridge and member of the ARTeMiS Lab. She did her Ph.D. in hydro-meteorology and remote sensing at Queen's University as part of the Canadian Carbon Program. Laura has worked with airborne and terrestrial LiDAR data since 2000, and with leading researchers in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. Laura's research integrates ecosystem processes in ecology, hydrology and meteorology with an advanced understanding of spatial and temporal remote sensing data analysis. Her research focus has gradually shifted towards wildfires as a result of her Boreal Forest field sites being destroyed in the Slave Lake Fire of 2011.

Spring brings growth and trust in new life. It is about shedding old, stagnate ways of being and embracing new, vibrant growth bursting from within us. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is associated with the color green, providing us with healing and strength. Related to the element of Wood and Water, spring gives us fuel and flexibility as well as the cleansing power to move and change. During this event, we will meditate and reflect on these themes. Through seated yin postures, we will practice acupressure to the areas related to the gallbladder and liver meridians, allowing us to detoxify, cleanse and confidently spark this new season!

Hey, everyone! We are back after a short break for another episode of This Week in Aruba which covers what's happening in the island from Monday, March 12 to Sunday, March 18th. It's been a couple of weeks since I've spoken to you guys apart from the usual One Happy Podcast episode and that is because I was down in Aruba. While One Happy Podcast is relatively uncomplicated to produce while on the island, This Week in Aruba is a different thing altogether. However, I did miss it a lot! Listen to the podcast for a real-world example of how this show can help you out, based on firsthand experience. You may also be wondering what happened to the last part of my Aruba trip reports, and I regret to inform you that I have come down with the flu and had been feeling under the weather since Maggie and I got back home. I apologize for that and the fact that my voice may sound a little off on this episode. I also want to give a shoutout to a couple of people that I'm very thankful for in this podcasting journey. To Marcia and Ray Frost, who I interviewed twice before on episodes 23 and 92, thank you! You've been a very positive influence on me all this time. To listen to their interviews, hit up the links below:http://onehappypodcast.com/ep23/ http://onehappypodcast.com/ep92/ So, with those aside, let's get into it. Here are the events and activities in Aruba from March 12-18, 2018: Still life acrylic class When: 17 March (recurring event) / 10:30 amWhere: Noord, Aruba Source: https://www.facebook.com/events/149738849070422/ Start a still life. From your own drawing or I have some prepared. Two-hour class, We will paint on paper but if you prefer to bring your own canvas. Paint, brushes, and paper are supplied for the cost of 25fls. per class is at 10:30. If you plan on continuing the still life. we will work on the next stage the following 2 weeks. So the plan is to make one large painting or 3 small pieces. If you plan to do it on your own canvas think about size before you purchase, make sure you get good quality or paint the surface with gesso before class. Aruba's National Anthem And Flag Day When: 18 March (all day) A strong sense of pride is displayed each year as Arubans celebrate their Status Aparte and the Flag and Anthem Day. An impressive folkloric production marking the holiday is held each year on Plaza Betico Croes in Oranjestad.

As with everything I do, what you ask for, I always try to deliver. While I will never touch on island politics that will need a lot of knowledge regarding the topic, I will bring to the table topics that may be of interest to fellow vacationers who go to Aruba in a relatively short time to escape such issues from your day to day lives. For this episode, the topics that I will cover is the weather, beach conditions, and traffic on the island during my stay. If there’s anything at that you would like to suggest for the show, please do send me an email at curt@onehappypodcast.com or drop a voice message on our hotline number (302) 635-0815.
