A Conversation with Mark Carney

Join Canada 2020 for a special event with Mark Carney, for a conversation on his new book VALUE(s): Building a Better World for All, a bold and urgent examination of the radical, foundational change required if we are to build an economy and society based not on market values, but on human values.

Mark Carney will be joined by Anna Gainey, Canada 2020’s Executive Chair, to discuss his vision of a more humane society and a practical manifesto for getting there.

Our world is full of fault lines–growing inequality in income and opportunity; systemic racism; health and economic crises from a global pandemic; mistrust of experts; the existential threat of climate change; deep threats to employment in a digital economy with robotics on the rise. These fundamental problems and others like them, argues Mark Carney, stem from a common crisis in values. Drawing on the turmoil of the past decade, Mark Carney shows how “market economies” have evolved into “market societies” where price determines the value of everything.

Pre-order Mark Carney‘s book VALUE(s): Building a Better World for All today.

The Future of News

Join Canada 2020 and leaders from across the news publishing sector for an important conversation on a sustainable future for news media.

Public interest news is essential to the functioning of a liberal democracy, and Canada is no exception. But over the past two decades, the news industry has faced numerous challenges, with shifting business models, democratization of information, and access barriers that have come with the rise of the internet. While some legacy publishers have adapted, and new digital first publishers have emerged, others are calling for regulatory intervention.

Join Canada 2020 and leaders from across the news publishing sector for an important conversation on a sustainable future for news media. How should the federal government respond to the crisis in news? What can we learn from other countries? And how can we continue to nourish and sustain independent, fair, and transparent news media, in order for all Canadians to remain fully informed and engaged in our democracy?

Demand without supply: What Canada needs to do to create a resilient health sector

On top of the immediate health concerns posed by COVID-19, the pandemic is also upending global manufacturing processes and disrupting Canada’s health sector supply chain. Experts predict that it will be months, or even years, until supply chain processes are back to normal. What can Canada learn from this experience? How will governments, the public and private sector, work to rebuild and establish greater supply chain resilience to support our health care sector?

Never Again: Restoring Trust with Canada’s Seniors

Bringing together leading policymakers, decision-makers, and healthcare experts, Canada 2020 is convening a half-day virtual conference focused on reforming and redesigning Canada’s seniors’ care sector. Learning from the hard lessons of this pandemic, we will discuss the immediate steps we can take to restore the trust that has been broken, and how care should best be delivered, from home care to retirement and long-term care homes.

With 69% of pandemic-related deaths being in long-term care and retirement homes and the highest reported proportion of pandemic-related deaths internationally for long-term care facilities, the impact of COVID-19 has put a spotlight on how Canadian seniors are cared for and questions regarding what needs to change.

While the pandemic has galvanized public attention, deep fractures in Canada’s seniors-care sector are decades in the making and have exposed and amplified a failure of some to value and invest in safe and effective care. In order to build back better for our seniors, policy reforms and structural changes are critical.
