The Walrus | Canada's Conversation
The Walrus Talks Reimagining Volunteerism

NEW SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED! In the next installment of our series on belonging, join us as we look at the power of volunteerism to build shared purpose, individual agency, and community cohesion.


At The Walrus Talks Reimagining Volunteerism, seven speakers will discuss the joys and benefits of service, as well as some of the barriers that keep us from giving more of our time. They’ll also expand our conception of what community service can look like, outside of organization-based volunteerism.


Take advantage of this time to connect in person by joining us live in Toronto for an evening that will reshape how you think about the value of meeting the needs of others, both for yourself and for your communities. If you can’t join us in person, be sure to check out the livestream!

The Walrus Talks at Home: Tariffs

NEW VIRTUAL EVENT! What does the US trade war mean for Canada, both now and in the future?

The “America First” approach of the new Trump administration has already dramatically altered U.S. trade policy. Despite our status as a long-standing ally and major trade partner, Canada has been targeted in the first wave of tariffs. The on-again-off-again nature of the tariffs makes it more difficult to develop a strong and sound economic response, especially for businesses without the resources to quickly insulate their supply chains.


Join us at The Walrus Talks at Home: Tariffs to discuss what the upending of Canada’s largest trade relationship might mean. Which sectors will be most impacted by the brewing trade war? How will manufacturing adapt to the new environment? How can small and medium-sized businesses survive in a shrinking global market? How will supply chains be affected, and what does that mean for the cost of living?


With nearly four more years before the next U.S. election, Canada may be in the teeth of a very long trade war. Join us to discuss what “elbows up” means for Canadian consumers and businesses.
