Fuelling the Middle Class: Bringing a Job Lens to Canada’s Resource and Environmental Debates

December 16, 2020 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Live Roundtable Discussion

Canada’s natural-resources sector in general, and oil and gas in particular, has counteracted the trend of job polarization by providing well-paying, mid-skilled jobs that have sustained Canada’s middle class in recent decades. What are the consequences of the demise of this sector? How might we envision environmental policy that considers the human and community costs and benefits of such work?  Join us on Wednesday, December 16, from 1-2:30pm EST for a roundtable discussion on Cardus’s recent paper “Fuelling Canada's Middle Class: Job Polarization and the Natural Resource Sector.”

The Chinese Communist regime under President Xi Jinping is systematically violating the religious freedom of Chinese Christians through the destruction and conversion of church buildings, imprisonment of pastors and priests, and the coercion of Christians to renounce their faith.

The State of the System: A Reality Check on Canada’s Schools in Light of COVID

September 30, 2020 | 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Live Webinar Panel Discussion

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic left our schools scrambling. The sudden need for distance education thrust our kids into an experiment with online learning that we weren’t ready for. Whatever the results of that experiment prove to be, we already know the experience exposed significant cracks in education: inflexibility, inequity, and over-centralized control. So, how do we make education more resilient for the future?
