SUMMARY:Panel Presentation: Canada's New Posture in the International Arena
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Thursday\, 18 January 2018 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM \nWHERE: Knox Presbyterian Church – 120 Lisgar Street\, Ottawa\, ON \nThe Trudeau Government’s claim that “Canada is back” in the international arena is highly contestable. The government continues to support defence and trade policies initiated by the Harper government as well as energy policies inconsistent with the Paris Accord. There is more similarity with the Harper Government’s foreign policy than with the peacebuilding and development initiatives associated with Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau. \nOur foreign policy panel will engage in a wide-ranging debate\, to identify strengths and weaknesses\, and areas of coherence or inconsistency\, and to make recommendations on whether and how Canada’s foreign policy can actually be returned to its traditional posture of a more progressive player in global peacekeeping and sustainable development. \nEvent background PDF\, Click Here\n*****\nModerator: \n\nRoy Culpeper\, Chair of the Group of 78\n\nPanelists: \n\nPeggy Mason\, Former Canadian Ambassador for Disarmament\, President of the Rideau Institute\nJulia Sanchez\, President-CEO of the Canadian Council of International Co-operation (CCIC)\nAngella MacEwen\, Senior Economist\, Canadian Labour Congress and Policy Fellow\, Broadbent Institute\nFerry de Kerckhove\, Honorary Senior Fellow and part time professor at the University of Ottawa and at Glendon College\, Toronto /Professionnel en residence honoraire et professeur à temps partiel à l’Université d’Ottawa et au Collège Glendon de l’Université York à Toronto\n\n*Bios for Moderator and Panelists\, Click Here \n  \nOnline Registration \nTickets will also be available at the door\n\nGeneral Admission – $15.00\nStudent/Unwaged – $5.00

SUMMARY:North Korea After the Winter Olympics
DESCRIPTION:Group of 78 Luncheon Speaker Series\nMarius Grinius\n\nNorth Korea After the Winter Olympics (event PDF)\nSpeaker’s Notes (PDF)\n\n\n\n Tuesday January 30\, 2018 \n 12:00 p.m.\n Palais Imperial Restaurant\, \n 311- 313 Dalhousie St.\, Ottawa\n\n\n\n  \n$30 for luncheon and presentation (12:00 p.m.) \n$5 for presentation only (arrive 12:45 p.m. Coffee and tea will be available) \n RESERVATIONS: Group78@group78.org  613-565-9449 ext. 22 by Friday January 26\, 2018 by 12:00 pm \nLate registrations are welcome for presentation only. \nIndividuals who do not cancel their reservations at least 24 hours before the luncheon will be billed $30. \n  \nOnline Registration \nWhile yet another round of tougher UN sanctions is initiated against North Korea\, tensions between North and South Korea have eased as they agree to talk to each other against the backdrop of the Winter Olympics. Meanwhile\, a curious meeting on the nuclear standoff is convened in Vancouver\, but without China or Russia. However\, it is what happens after the Winter Olympics that will determine the way forward\, as North Korea continues its march to achieve a credible nuclear weapons capability. Marius will argue that the window for verifiable and irreversible North Korean denuclearization has passed and we now need to look at the diplomacy of containment and de-escalation\, all in the context of the “new Great Game” being played out by an ascendant China and a retreating United States. \nMarius Grinius \nAfter serving in the Canadian Army for 12 years Marius joined the Foreign Service in 1979. His early postings included Bangkok\, Brussels/NATO and Hanoi. Assignments in Ottawa included Foreign Affairs (nuclear arms control\, South East Asia)\, the Privy Council Office (social policy\, security and intelligence) and Western Economic Diversification. Marius is the former Canadian Ambassador to Vietnam (1997-99)\, South Korea (2004-07) and concurrently North Korea (2005-07) and to the United Nations and Conference on Disarmament in Geneva (2007-11). Prior to retiring in 2012 he served at DND as Director-General for International Security Policy. Marius is a Fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. \n
