2026.01.20 Civically Speaking - The World....Whudtheff and What a Response...

 Dear Listeners,

Thanks for tuning in. Much appreciation for your support of shows like this that air on Community Radio and also in podcast form.

The first half of this episode focuses on a changing world order and why it matters to pay attention right now. The conversation looks at how global norms are shifting, what world leaders are saying about Greenland and sovereignty, and how recent events are being framed at the World Economic Forum. It reflects on what it means when cooperation gives way to power politics, and why these signals from global leaders should concern countries like Canada and communities like ours. 

The second half opens with a significant excerpt from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, setting the stage for a discussion about Canada’s role in a changing global and economic landscape. The conversation then turns to Saskatchewan and Saskatoon and key City Council files including corridor planning and the Downtown Event and Entertainment District. It also reflects on housing and homelessness, including recent developments in Regina and what they may suggest for Saskatoon.

As always, Civically Speaking is about connecting global forces to local realities, and thinking together about what it means to care for place and community during uncertain times.

Civically speaking,

Lenore with regrets this week from Christina
