Talk, Energi Media, Toronto, Ontario
On the heels of my latest piece, Is your province ready for a low-carbon future?, I discuss with Energi Media’s Markham on where Canada’s provinces stand in terms of their carbon dioxide emissions intensities and what that means for their future prosperity.
Talk, The Agenda, Toronto, Ontario
In this talk, I join Munk School Professor Sean Speer and Steve Paikin to discuss my latest paper Measuring Ontario’s Rural-Urban Divide. We go in depth into the causes of the divide, its implications, and provide policy recommendations on how to remedy it.
Radio talk, CBC Studio, Toronto, Ontario
I join CBC Radio to discuss Ontario’s public policy and regional difference with five stations (Windsor, London, Waterloo, Sudbury, and Thunder Bay) and a further three more with Ontario Morning (Barrie, Peterborough, Kingston).
Talk, Ministry of Finance, Toronto, Ontario
In this talk, I discuss with Ontario’s Ministry of Finance my latest paper The Canadian Cluster Handbook with a focus on provincial issues. Cluster theory describes how regions specialize around often unique economic activities and by focusing resources and capital into these regional sectors, government can catalyze better local outcomes. In this presentation, I also shared a better way for the Ministry to denote “regions” based on labour flow data rather than population censuses.
