Interesting. I always thought "vibrant community" was a term leftists used as code for a crime ridden S-hole filled with impoverished minorities, except they want to describe it in a nice way.

Wow amazing presentation loved every minute of it. People place purpose says it all. People living with mental Illness sometimes are almost never given purpose to make a difference!

Brilliant 👏

This is an interesting discussion, just to ride on the wave of the question of infrastructure - I also believe that in the setting of a more rural community in Africa, development of road network infrastructure is crucial as this enables movement and livelihood creation (on this the community/ locals come in in the form of social/ local labour or even subcontracting in such infrastructure projects).

I am surprised that a lecture based on asset mapping does not define what an asset is. There's a lot of context surrounding what an asset could mean. But I'm half an hour in, and I still don't know much more than I did coming in. Very unfortunate.

Really unfortunate typo in the 6 Assets slide there. "Raiding our children"? Big OOF.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Citzens born in Canada only, Or Industry would take advantage of this

The $12k basic exemption in Canada (assuming a new lowest income 25% tax rate) means $3000 in UBI funding from making it a refundable tax credit. Currently, tax rates on every other income need to be higher in order to provide this tax subsidy. Unemployment insurance and public pension system charge 16% in employer + employee pay that applies only to middle class and lower employees. Public pension systems are pyramid schemes dependent on population growth, and unemployment systems reduce productivity by paying people who stay unemployed for the longest possible time relative to benefit period. Punishing employees encourages more automation and contractors that don't have the employer penalty. Replacing with a 16%point income tax would capture investor/landlord class who would also be eligible for UBI. Welfare, disability, income-based housing also punish earning income through conditionality. Housing in Toronto has 10 year waiting list. Services for the homeless make a city a destination for the homeless until services need expansion. Including more police and emergency health services. Massive Provincial and City budget savings are available through UBI. It has to be part of the funding scheme for UBI. The obvious cure for homelessness should include reducing the budget conditionally assisting the homeless. Taxing the investor/landlord class the same as ordinary workers is huge revenue boost potential. Surtaxes on the highest incomes is appropriate because UBI makes the rich richer. There is more income/spending at the bottom which all flows up to savers. UBI reduces government budgets. Credits and debits shifted among tax payers is always affordable, and shouldn't be considered "taxes" in that government discretion is not being funded. Disemploying useless government functions, means more people available to do useful work.

Trying to equate UBI to CERB payments is far beyond disingenuous. A good UBI system would stream line ALL social services that support citizens. Instead of a ton of different paperwork for E.I, disability, cpp, cpp disability, old age etc etc; they would all fall under UBI and would reduce paperwork and more importantly, reduce staff! Taxes would also be streamlined not only for the CRA but citizens as well. I'm not opposed to a UBI, IF it's done correctly!

agree with Dave below!

Sound like Kindergarten teachers. Another globalist organization claiming to hep reduce poverty while poverty is growing by leaps and bounds. Apparently the DEI agenda does not work, it's just part of the phony global narrative.

E ki atu te whakatauki nei:- Ka tagi te komako, ka tu. Nothing about us without us.

Great seminar- I have been a community volunteer for 50 years- and have always been self-funding, or resourcing, in effect .I also belong to two self help groups for family members- which are entirely self funding. One of the drawbacks of this approach, is that some agencies will not take us seriously- because there are no financial stakeholders. In recent times i studied Dr Brene Brown, and developed a strategy to do my own qualitative research- including work in Fiji. There has to be 100% ethic here, of course. Tapping into the wider issues, and doing regular short courses, is essential. I live in New Zealand.

24:05 it’s the people that are stupid… yeah.. it sure looks that way doesn’t it. We’re not stupid in the way you are saying. We are stupid for feeding ourselves metal, emotionally and spiritual poison through fox news snd msnbc and all the rest of the people who make money on you staying tuned in. The facts can be stated once a day in 10 minutes so they make up storylines that are preposterous and completely antithetical to what the other channels storyline is and they start a fight and make money on it. Remember Don King? Mike Tyson’s fight promoter back in the late 80’s and early ‘90’s? He was shameless. Dude trump was the first dude that said I’m in for the show though. The first in our generation. We aren’t as stupid as you suggest we are just being fed poison, we aren’t even stupid.. we are addicted. Addiction makes a person from the outside look stupid. You might say, “that person is so stupid to spend their rent money on meth and heroin?! Don’t they know they won’t have a place to live anymore!?? How stupid..” when emotions get that overwhelming, when the fear of reality sets in you need to escape some more and then you do and further down the road you go and that hook sinks deeper. This is similar to the feeling of safety you get from the same happy well dressed friendly intelligent people come into your living room night after night to remind you of how smart you are for listening to them and how much better you are than your neighbors that don’t get it, but we’ll show them and hopefully they come around. Now have you heard the latest???! You’ll never believe it.. it’s the same old crap with some new flys buzzing around..” there’s a sense of something that’s lasting, people grow up listening to these things, they grow old listening to these things and there’s a hit of dopamine every time they turn on the tv and see their old friends there, and they escape their troubled day and strained relationships, their divorce, or whatever it might be. It’s an unhealthy coping mechanism. If people really wanted to see a difference they need to get involved and if we’d all turn off the news pundits permanently and cut back on the news in general to once a week at most and get to work we’d find that we have a lot more in common than the pundits would tell you. We are not stupid we are hurting and lost and trying to find something to hold onto and these news pundits know the way that’s definitely being communicated when you turn on Hannity or Beck or that one girl on msnbc? I forget but I really liked her.. she really seemed like an amazing person full of the best intentions in her personal life “and here she is to fill you in on what’s really going on.” It seems perfectly reasonable, everything she’s saying, it must be true.. and?! She’s got the facts right. Generally they are using the same facts and it’s just that spin that this is critical that you know how bad it is so you keep watching. Bad things have solutions.. there are plenty solutions and well meaning people out there willing and trying to help. Go help too. Get involved and do something good and if we all did that, shoot if half of us did that it would do so much. But again, we are addicted and hurting and stuck. But if those producers down at those news stations would choose to go positive, never name call, apologize and try and find common ground on everything they can and agree to disagree with gratitude that we live in a free country with laws and there’s peaceful ways to make change. If they did that the whole world would change.

Amen 😅😅

I just found this terrific webinar. It is so important that we figure out how to make the most of the rest of the @SDG2030 decade.

wow, so much information in a 1hour conversation. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you

Why i learning now..

The elephant in the room is the fact that the Liberal gov't has added 1 million immigrants last year (not counting illegal immigration) and we do not have the infrastructure and vacancy rates to accomodate these ridiculous numbers. Trudeau is pushing huge waves of immigration with no clue of how to accommodate them. Our standard of living will continue to fall until we will look like a third world country or we vote this incompetent leader out. Our farmland, wild spaces and wetlands will be gobbled up by development to provide housing as a result of these terrible policies.

The biggest problem causing food insecurity is our Federal Liberal government destroying our oil and gas industry in Canada over the last 8 years. There is a direct causation between rising energy prices and the cost of everything including food. The other problem that adds to inflationary prices is the Federal government spending us into oblivion and the Bank of Canada printing excessive money we shouldn't have. Green energy is not only significantly more expensive but it is unreliable and has negative consequences for wildlife. We should be selling liquified natural gas to countries that burn dirty coal and that would significantly reduce green house gases in the world. Canada only produces 1.6% of the world's emissions even without factoring in our forest cover that recycles CO2 into oxygen. We are creating poverty in Canada because of virtue signaling.

Thank you for this! Was so excited to see a new ABCD video!

Would you be able to share those rural ABCD resources you referenced in the video?

Urban planning -- parks have benches which invite people to relax and socialize. However in some cities, benches are removed, so that people do not gather...

What a good webinar to present during these tumultuous times . I got some great ideas for our organization.

Wow thanks 😊

Musts for sustainable planning for cities 1.__ with mandatory 50% urban forestry with indigenous plants only. 2. ___ cars for police, fire & medical personnel (ambulances) only, trucks only for food,water , sewage maintenance. 3. ___Zero waste & 100 % rainwater harvested office/institutions & housing complexes.

Your narrative is both thought provoking and and graceful. I would only suggest that you do away with concepts like strength/weakness. Also, instead of saying you will pass on a better world to your children," perhaps consider that many in the present and future will not have the privilege of having children and so as a more inclusive call instead I would suggest to merely "pass on a better (or less sick) world?"

Love this

amazing content The Tamarack Institute. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the superior work.

The Earth is cooler with the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer. To perform as advertised the GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrCZndpokr-rXYk.html) The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible. No greenhouse effect, no GHG warming, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming.

I find this quite reassuring.I used ethnography for field data collection for my research in graduate school.

#UBI 10000%

The acutely created disruption of economy, through laboratory manufactured pandemic has clearly divided youth of all first, second, third , fourth worlds into two groups. While one group indulged in online business promoting disposable income and, the other facing empty stomacks forcing many to migrate.The virtual world’s webiner speakers must focus on distributional impact of decisions and choices made today about ways to reduce inequalities of youth through gainful work and educational opportunities.

Terrific presentation!

Fantastic Presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Really great presentation and very helpful, thanks!
