    Leaders On The Frontier with Holly Doan

    The media plays a vital role in the health and well-being of our democracy. And yet, the trust and confidence in legacy media has never been lower. At the same time, so called independent and smaller media outlets are on the rise. What is the role of the fourth estate? What are key issues it faces today in a challenging environment?. Why is it that certain big stories tend to be only found in smaller media?

    Policy on the Frontier with Terry Etam

    Affordable, dependable, reliable and secure energy has always, been foundational to Canada’s economic competitiveness and high standard of living. Yet the broader political and media consensus today, based on the unproven theory of human caused climate change, is all about suppressing and ending the benefits of Canada’s immense energy resource wealth. As the largest source of tax revenue and high paying jobs this anti-energy policy is highly irrational and, if achieved, will greatly degrade the way of life of every Canadian. Indeed, the current public discussion regarding energy ignore the fact that world demand for fossil fuels has never been higher. What are those undeniable facts and what really is the policy path forward for Canada?

    Leaders on the Frontier | Hon. Grant Devine

    Leaders on the Frontier | So Much More We Can Be with the Hon. Grant Devine, Premier of Saskatchewan 1982-1991 The evidence, as detailed in the Frontier Centre book “So Much More We Can Be”, shows that the Devine government was indeed an important inflection point in Saskatchewan history. It significantly diversified the provincial economy while creating long-lasting positive effects on Saskatchewan’s revenues, employment and the quality of life of its citizens. What were those policy initiatives and why was the turn away from government ownership central to the principles and tactics that guided them? Saskatchewan, in many respects, now leads Canada as a province of prosperity and opportunity. How can we learn from these policy initiatives as we look to our future?

    Policy On The Frontier with Susan Martinuk

    Patient Centered Health Care and Crisis Join us on Today! Patients at Risk: Exposing Canada’s Health-care Crisis A Webinar featuring Senior Fellow Susan Martinuk in a discussion about Canada’s health care system. REGISTER NOW → Our Topic: Sometimes health care hurts the very people it is supposed to heal. This is now the situation in Canada, where waitlists, rationed services and a fragmented system have resulted in tragic and unnecessary consequences to far too many patients. Susan Martinuk’s newly published book, Patients at Risk: Exposing Canada’s Health-care Crisis shares the heart-breaking stories of those who sought healing and instead found themselves trapped in a system that prioritizes an intangible ideology over patient care. How did Canada’s beloved health-care system lose sight of its original purpose to heal and devolve into a system that routinely denies care to those who need it?

    Leaders on the Frontier with Hon. Dan McTeague

    "Energy policy plays a central role in the health and vibrancy of Canada's economy and in the quality of life and high living standard of every Canadian. Canada’s enormous energy wealth, particularly from its immense conventional oil and gas reserves, is our country’s largest export and its greatest source of tax revenue and high paying jobs. Relative to other countries these ample supplies of energy have benefited citizens with lower energy prices. This policy has now shifted as Justin Trudeau’s government climate change and anti-pipeline policies work to massively increase energy prices and the cost of goods and services across the board. Indeed, gasoline prices in early February across Canada broke an all-time record with a national average retail fuel price of $1.516 per litre. This session discusses this radical change in Canada's energy policy. What is behind the Trudeau government’s anti-energy masterplan? Why this change and particularly the politics behind it? How will these changes impact the future of every key industry, your personal living standard and the future of Canada? Mr. McTeague explores the relationship artificially higher energy prices and the larger ""green agenda"" and its net-zero carbon goal and the Environmental Social Governance (ESG) movement? Who do these policies benefit and why do current governments and others support such policies given their disastrous impacts? Lastly, what happened to the pro-prosperity Liberal Party that saved Canada’s finances under Jean Chretien and Paul Martin?"

    Leaders On The Frontier with Dr. Brian Day

    Canada’s health care system by almost all measures and indexes performs at or near the bottom of OECD rankings while being among the most expensive in the world. Patients experience a myriad of waiting lists and health bureaucracy that often create immeasurable suffering and poor results. Given this reality, how can healthcare in Canada improve and catch up to the rest of the western world? What is the way forward and out of Canada’s unstainable, expensive and low performing health care system? One pioneering voice for change has been Dr. Brian Day who has spent decades advocating for changes that would put patients first. Dr. Day will be joining Leaders on the Frontier for a fascinating discussion about his personal journey as a Physician, the challenges of our healthcare system and a pathway way forward to better serve Canadians.

    Leaders On The Frontier with Brian Peckford (Jan 20)

    During the Covid-19 pandemic, Canada's 14 Governments have instituted almost two years of unprecedented drastic emergency policies in an attempt to safeguard human health. These actions have severely curtailed individual rights and freedoms while causing enormous economic and social damage. We will discuss this, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of a written Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada, with the last living signator of the 1982 Charter, the Hon. Brian Peckford. This is an important discussion on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of a written Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada. How badly have our Governments assaulted and undermined these basic rights and freedoms? Was it a fair trade-off?
