The future of DEI in Canada

As international trade dynamics shift daily and the race to decarbonize intensifies, Canada's energy economy stands at a crossroads. The Walrus Talks Power Economy brings together seven leading voices to explore how Canada's path to a sustainable future is increasingly tied to electrification and reindustrialization.

This thought-provoking event will delve into the economic, environmental, and social impacts of electrifying Canada’s economy. How will electrifying industries, transportation, and homes reshape the national economy? What role will innovations in energy storage and clean technologies play in building a sustainable, competitive Canada? What is a "power economy" now?

Join us in Toronto or online as we bridge the gap between research, policy, and the practical solutions that will define the future of energy and the Canadian economy.

NEW EVENT! Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has become a highly contentious issue, facing significant challenges and rollbacks in both private and public sectors. With US president Donald Trump issuing executive orders to dismantle DEI programs, and corporations responding by scaling back or rebranding their initiatives, DEI has become a flashpoint in broader cultural debates.

How have these pressures affected DEI in Canada? At The Walrus Talks at Home: DEI, speakers will discuss the rapidly evolving landscape and where we go from here. What does it take to protect inclusion in a time of pushback and political attack? And how can DEI evolve to meet the moment?

Join us online at The Walrus Talks at Home: DEI, as we explore these pressing questions and examine how Canadians can hold the line on inclusion and equity work and go beyond to make the promise of DEI a lived reality.
