NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

On today’s Insights podcast, Don and David talk with well-known author and The Globe and Mail journalist, John Ibbitson. The wide-ranging discussion covers his two recent books, as well as his thoughts on everything from demographic trends and interprovincial trade. In The Duel: Diefenbaker, Pearson and the Making of Modern Canada, he makes a compelling case that Diefenbaker should rank higher on the list of Canadian Prime Ministers. In A Nation’s Paper: The Globe and Mail in the Life of Canada, Ibbitson curates 30 essays from Globe writers on the role the newspaper has played at important times in Canada’s history. He has a new book coming out in the Fall with Darrell Bricker called “Breaking Point: The New Big Shifts Putting Canada at Risk.” Ibbitson is a fairly rare breed among national writers and commentators in that he has deep knowledge of the Atlantic Canada population and economy. We discuss immigration, Employment Insurance, trade and other topics with a focus on Atlantic Canada.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

Monette Pasher, President of the Canadian Airports Council (Canada's Airports), joins Don and David on the Insights podcast this week to talk about the council’s new report called “Keeping Canada Connected: The Challenge of Regional Air Service and Federal Policy”. The transfer of airport management in Canada from the federal government to local authorities in the 1990s is considered by many to be an excellent example of good public policy. However, over the past decade or so, there has been an increasing erosion of services and connectivity between smaller airports and their surrounding communities. The new CAC report finds that flight frequency at regional airports has decreased by 36% since 2014 – a trend exacerbated by the pandemic. Pasher believes that more of the $500 million in rent that airports pay the federal government every year should be allocated to an “Essential Air Service program”, similar to a program in the United States. We talk about a range of issues, from the rationale behind the transfer 30 years ago to the role of provincial and municipal governments in ensuring regional air connectivity.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

We spent the month of June on a tour around the region to promote our newly published book, “Toward Prosperity: The Transformation of Atlantic Canada’s Economy.” The reception has been very gratifying, and the early reviews have been very favourable. Among those stops was the Chamber of Commerce Greater Moncton / Chambre de Commerce Grand Moncton, where their high-energy CEO, Kim Wilson, moderated a lively discussion about the book with us, covering the main themes of the book and why we are so bullish on the future of Atlantic Canada. We wanted to share that conversation with you. You can purchase the book at local bookstores, Indigo, Chapters and Coles, Amazon.ca, and even Costco. Enjoy!

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

This week’s Insights Podcast is the second of three in our special series on the bioeconomy sponsored by the Greenspring Bioinnovation Lab and BioIndustrial Innovation Canada and features a very interesting conversation with Greg Wanger, the Founder & CEO of Oberland Agriscience. Oberland has a brand new 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Ragged Lake that is nearing completion that uses Black Soldier flies to produce fertilizer for the agricultural sector and feed for the pet food market and the aquaculture and farming sectors. The plant when fully operational will divert 100 tons of organic waste from landfills on a daily basis to feed the Black Soldier flies to produce 20 tons of fertilizer and 20 tons of feed protein per day. Prior to forming Oberland, Wanger worked with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and helped develop equipment for the Mars Rover. The company is proud to introduce the lowest carbon-footprint protein ingredient to the market and expects to be totally off the grid and using only renewable power in the near future. Wanger is just getting going and plans more manufacturing facilities in the future.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

On this week’s Insights podcast, Don and David speak with Dr. Trevor Tombe, Professor in University of Calgary's Department of Economics and Director of Fiscal and Economic Policy at the School of Public Policy. Dr. Tombe has published a number of papers related to interprovincial trade barriers including a recent one for the Public Policy Forum specifically covering the benefits to Atlantic Canada from making it easier to trade across provincial borders. We discuss a variety of barriers to provincial trade including rules and regulations, and we go deeper with a lively discussion of issues such as government subsidies to industry, provincial tax rate differentials, infrastructure investments and other government-related benefits that may provide advantages to industries in one province but not another. This one got a little wonky but we are sure you will enjoy the conversation.
