The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce is holding a one day brainstorm conference to challenge the "policy slumber" that Manitoba finds itself in.  This conference will challenge the community to come forward with bold ideas.  Peter Holle will be part of a panel on new revenue options at 9:00 a.m.  Conference details at http://www.winnipeg-chamber.com/PolicyInitiatives/strategicinitiatives/ManitobaBOLD.aspx.

With concerns over infrastructure, energy, emissions, and liveable environments, the car seems to have so many enemies its easy to forget what it's done for us.  In this presentation, Senior Policy Analyst David Seymour will argue that, far from dead, the car has a long way to go as better technologies promise to give us the car but not as we know it.  The advent of better computer control systems, GPS, and wireless communication mean that a world of all-communicating vehicles that need less infrastructure, space, and energy is already a technical possiblity and could easily become a practical reality.  This is a private event held by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan.

Booming Saskatchewan is busy chopping taxes. Beleaguered Ontario is pushing to trim transfer payments. Alberta politics is skewing towards trimming public spending and truly reforming healthcare. Harmonized sales tax strongly favours business investment in other provinces. Meanwhile Manitoba is asleep at the switch with low performing policy models from the 1970s. How can it avoid being left in the dust in these turbulent times? Frontier's Peter Holle maps out how western Canada's only "have not" province can pull itself out of the slow lane. For more details contact Ernie Nairn of the Assiniboine Chamber of Commerce.

How good is Canada in providing health care: areas of progress and challenges?  Why advanced health care systems aren’t always the most expensive? Where is health care service the best available in the country and why? Is Canada’s health care system putting providers and bureaucrats ahead of patients? 2011 Healthcare Forum, Haskayne School of Business.

Booming Saskatchewan has overcome most of the problems that resulted in its population being static for the past eighty years.  Almost every week, media report that Saskatchewan is leading some economic indicator or other, from employment to wages to housing starts to car purchases.  The question for Saskatchewan is:  Where to next?  Is it enough to profit off the good fortune of having natural resources and a political climate that’s stable enough to extract them efficiently?  In this speech, David Seymour will draw on the history of Golden Societies from Athens to Enlightenment Scotland to argue that Saskatchewan should not rest on its current prosperity but use it to become one of the most outstanding societies in history.  This is a private event.
