  • 69 - How Indigenous Communities Are Taking A Stake In Canada's Economy

    Indigenous communities were more or less shut out of fully participating in Canada's economy for centuries, but that is beginning to change. Quietly, First Nations and Indigenous communities across Canada are beginning to take ownership stakes in major clean energy, resource development, and infrastructure projects. But this isn't happening without complications and challenges. On this episode, we talk with Mark Podlasly, a member of the Nlaka’pamux Nation and Chief Sustainability Officer for the First Nations Major Projects Coalition, about why it's happening now, the history that has led to this point, the size of the opportunity for Indigenous communities, and some of the obstacles that still remain. ----- Links: More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe

  • 68 - Best Of: Why The World Is Embracing Industrial Policy

    This episode originally aired on October 17, 2023. Many of us have a vague sense of what industrial policy means, and we might even have an opinion about the specific forms it can take. But that fuzziness around even the definition of industrial policy has made studying it — and learning what makes industrial policy succeed and fail — difficult. Dr. Réka Juhász is trying to change that. Through her innovative academic work (and that of her collaborators at The Industrial Policy Group), she is advancing our understanding of how governments are using industrial policy, and what specific policies they are adopting. On this episode, Réka walks us through how she took a new approach to researching this topic, what actually constitutes industrial policy, and why she believes more governments have turned to these policies in recent years. ----- More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe

  • 67 - The World's Big Election Year (And What It Means For Canada)

    It's a big year for elections, with voters heading to the polls in 64 countries representing nearly half of the world's population. How some of those votes turn out will have a major impact on Canada. In this episode, Graeme Thompson, senior analyst with Eurasia Group's Global Macro-Geopolitics practice, joins us to break down what's happening in elections in India, Mexico, the UK, and — of course — the United States, what the likely outcomes are, and what it means for Canada. Ed. note: The audio is a bit messier than usual on this one, but it should still be listenable.

  • 66 - Meet The Canadian Chip Company Challenging The Big Players

    The semiconductor industry is dominated by giant companies like TSMC, Intel, and Nvidia. But more and more startups are beginning to emerge in the space, and one promising example is based Canada. Untether AI is a specialized chipmaker focusing on applications where energy efficiency and speed are critical. To date, it's raised more than $200 million. Untether's CEO Chris Walker joins us on this episode to talk about the chip business, how smaller players can compete with the Nvidia's of the world, and (patiently) explain to us how the actual hardware of chips works. ----- Links: More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe

  • 65 - What We Can Learn From Tokyo About How To Build Great Cities

    Tokyo is the most populous city in the world, and is growing just as quickly as Canada's largest cities. Yet unlike Canadian cities, Tokyo's housing is still (shockingly) affordable, its transit is fast and reliable, and it's teeming with small businesses and entrepreneurs trying their hand at restaurants, cafes, book stores, and all variety of niche services. So how did they do it? And what lessons can we learn about our own cities from Tokyo's experience? Joe McReynolds, co-author of Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City, joins us on this episode to explain. ----- Links: Emergent Tokyo: https://oroeditions.com/product/emergent-tokyo Follow Joe: @McReynoldsJoe More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe
