Shoulder to Shoulder: Canada and the UK - Partners in a Changing World

The order established following the Second World War is being tested by current geo-political events.  The role of NATO is in question.  Two massive economic blocs, NAFTA and the EU are under real and critical threat. In these times of shifting alliances and weakening ties, it is tough for countries to find reliable friends. 

Following a successful inaugural conference examining the future of the relationship between the UK and Canada, this second annual gathering will continue to explore the question of how our countries can work more closely together.

The School of Public Policy, in partnership with the Faculty of Law and the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary, Canada, invites you to attend a conference that will explore these options and flesh out practical policy routes to strengthening the Canada-UK relationship. Co-hosted with the support of Goodenough College and the British Consulate-General in Calgary, the event will feature expert panels, and encourage focused, frank and real-world debate on what is possible, and how. 

Topics include:

• The Future of Trade and Investment - Dark Clouds over Global Trade

• The Future of Energy - Global Energy Transition

• The Future of Health Care - The Role of Patients in Decision Making

• The Future of Financial Markets - The Impact of Technology
