Mike McDonaldHOST
And it's got quite an array of experts coming in to speak about DRIPUN-related issues with First Nations and the Crown.
Mike McDonaldHOST
One of them is somebody you've referenced many times, Jeff, Dwight Newman, from the University of Saskatchewan, I believe, who has spoken out quite a lot on the impact of various legal judgments here in British Columbia from on our relationship with First Nations.
Mike McDonaldHOST
Other speakers at that session are people like Laura Jones, head of the Business Council BC, representatives from different law firms, from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and a friend of the pod, Chief Aaron Peet, who is a rising, a rising star in the podcast world and other places.
Mike McDonaldHOST
So a pretty interesting panel.
Travis HarringtonGUEST
So that was an incredible experience just across the board.
Travis HarringtonGUEST
And I'm really proud to say that I was good enough to play It's what is now the youth sport level for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.
Travis HarringtonGUEST
It was a short stint.
Travis HarringtonGUEST
Great though.
Stephen WilsonHOST
While the prairie economy is heavily exposed to American trade policy, the vulnerabilities are not distributed equally across the region.
Stephen WilsonHOST
Keith Willoughby is the Dean of the Edwards School of Business and a management science professor at the University of Saskatchewan.
Stephen WilsonHOST
He points out that while Canada as a whole sends roughly three quarters of its exports out to the border, Saskatchewan has spent decades cultivating international markets in Asia, Europe and Latin America.
Stephen WilsonHOST
Even so, Willoughby warns that the sheer volume of provincial trade tied to the United States means billions of dollars remain on the line.
Stephen WilsonHOST
That leaves many wondering when negotiators will finally sit down to work out an off-ramp.
Stephen WilsonHOST
But according to political scientists, the dispute has evolved into something far more dangerous than an ordinary trade disagreement.
Stephen WilsonHOST
Martin Gall is a political studies lecturer at the University of Saskatchewan and an executive member of the Canadian International Council in Saskatoon.
Stephen WilsonHOST
He says the standoff has become an existential question for Canadian sovereignty and national identity, leaving very little room for political leaders to back down.
Dean ThorpeHOST
One of the presenters at the three-day conference this fall is Preston Sorenson.
Dean ThorpeHOST
He's currently a research associate at the University of Saskatchewan.
Dean ThorpeHOST
where he's conducting research related to predictive soil mapping on the Canadian prairies.
Dean ThorpeHOST
That research aimed at improving maps of soil properties.
speaker_12UNKNOWN
So that's sort of really my background.
speaker_12UNKNOWN
agriculture connection and beginnings.
speaker_12UNKNOWN
Went to university where I ended up doing my undergrad at the University of Saskatchewan and then I did a master's and my PhD at the University of Alberta.
speaker_12UNKNOWN
So I've got close connections to both provinces and my focus of my research there has always been about soil carbon.
Evan BrayHOST
I was reading through some online articles the other day, and I came across one on the conversation site written by Greg Pelzer, who we have had on our program before.
Evan BrayHOST
He's a professor in the school of environment at the university of Saskatchewan.
Evan BrayHOST
This article, the title was Trump's geopolitical aims, not economics are behind his trade hostility to Canada.
Evan BrayHOST
And so as we, you know, continue to follow along as to where this is going to end up, we all still continue to hope that we can get back to the table as soon as possible and get a deal done.
Evan BrayHOST
But part of getting a deal done is understanding, you know, what's the underlying interest that both sides have? What is it that's important to them? That's how every negotiation works.
Evan BrayHOST
So this article, there was a couple of things in here that challenged the way I even thought about this whole thing unfolding, which is why I wanted to invite Greg back onto our program.
Evan BrayHOST
Greg Pelzer, University of Saskatchewan, is joining us by phone.
Evan BrayHOST
Greg, thanks for taking the call.
Neil WeisenselGUEST
And then wrote a piece with my partner Rachel, who wrote the lyrics for a beautiful piece for a women's choir here in Winnipeg that led to the Sarah Svendsen commission.
Neil WeisenselGUEST
And then now I just finished a piece for pipe organ and trumpet, uh, Valerie Hall from Regina and Dean McNeil at U of Sask who heard my pieces, heard the choral piece last year in Kitchener-Waterloo at the Oregon Conference, and was like, "Oh, I think we want you to write something for you." So now it's like, so now purely instrumental music, I'm like, oh my God, I'm realizing how much of a crutch, I don't think that's quite the right word, but that a libretto is or lyrics are for me because when it's like writing absolute music, like what is it about? Like, so I wrote the piece and I played it for Rachel, and she said, "What is it about?" And I was like, "I have no answer to that question." I think the meaning is in the ear of the listener.
Neil WeisenselGUEST
So writing absolute music is kind of a trip.
Neil WeisenselGUEST
It's like it takes a while to figure out what it's going to be when you're just literally starting from nothing.
Evan BrayHOST
The breakdown in the Canada-U.S. trade relations is about more than tariffs.
Evan BrayHOST
Greg Pelzer from the University of Saskatchewan is a professor that joins us to explain the major shift happening in U.S. foreign policy and how that is dictating where we're headed.
Evan BrayHOST
On the 25th anniversary of 9-11 today, the musical Come From Away, you've probably heard this, maybe you saw it when it came to the province.
Evan BrayHOST
It tells a remarkable story of what happened in Gander, Newfoundland, when thousands of passengers were stranded there.
David PattersonHOST
I
Nico ZhomwaGUEST
reluctantly went to the University of Saskatchewan.
Nico ZhomwaGUEST
I said, because it was my last option of all the universities I applied to.
Nico ZhomwaGUEST
Yeah, I was pursuing a master's degree in regional sustainability.
Nico ZhomwaGUEST
So the first four universities I applied to, I think only one of them had a CCO.
Nico ZhomwaGUEST
but of course they rejected me.
Nico ZhomwaGUEST
And then University of Saskatchewan said yes.
Nico ZhomwaGUEST
And I told them, yeah, I'm going to the University of Saskatchewan.
Bob StaufferHOST
Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800.
Bob StaufferHOST
Um, this text comes in from Coach Darcy, and he says, "Mike Babcock committed to the University of Saskatchewan for two years.
Bob StaufferHOST
It's my understanding that he only coached a year and then walked away.
Bob StaufferHOST
I would not have hired him," says Coach Darcy.
Evan BrayHOST
And, you know, I'm always happy to talk about and show support to our post-secondary education facilities in the province.
Evan BrayHOST
University of Saskatchewan.
Evan BrayHOST
has such a rich history in our province, and you're hard-pressed.
Evan BrayHOST
I mean, I think all of us, either tens of thousands of people in this province either went to university at the University of Saskatchewan or know someone who did.
Evan BrayHOST
My brother.
Evan BrayHOST
A graduate of the ag program at the University of Saskatchewan.
Evan BrayHOST
It's a thing in our province for sure, which is why a day like today, the USASC Giving Day, is so important.
Evan BrayHOST
It's a great opportunity for organizations and community members to...
