We are proud to share UVic’s renewed Indigenous Plan, Xʷkʷənəŋ istəl | W̱ȻENEṈISTEL | Helping to move each other forward. The name of the plan reminds us of our shared responsibilities to each other and to the work ahead. This plan reflects on where we have been, where we are, and where we need to go. It honours our commitments to local Nations, Indigenous students, staff, faculty, local laws and philosophies and the future of UVic. “This plan isn’t asking for incremental change. It is proposing a fundamental rethinking of our institution—not only in terms of what we do, but also how we do it. The process is as important as the result.”- Kevin Hall, UVic President. 👉 Learn more about the renewed Indigenous Plan: https://ow.ly/qcPC50POJlb

I've just published this guest blog post by Tur Borren. Tur is a prominent figure in the world of business, the chair of the Quatro Trust (my employer) and also a secret Olympic gold medalist (hockey 1976). Since retiring, Tur has been dedicating his time to learning about the relationship between climate change and economics and what challenges this poses for future generations. In this blog-post he has summarised his learnings so far - a challenging task that I think he's done very well at. https://lnkd.in/g_YC-rbg

Jason Barber, CFP® - This is an incredible post and message. Congrats on finding TRUE independence and congrats to your son! 🚨Financial Advisors at Any Insurance or Product owned B/D or if you are in any type of Restrictive Firm/Situation. ➡️The hardest part of breaking free is making the decision to leap. Your current firm DOES NOT want you to find the promise land that Jason mentions in his message! ❓WHY? IT IS NOT in their best interest. They will scare you into thinking its impossible. They will try everything to roadblock you when they find out you are ready to leave. 😎When you make the leap, YOU benefit the most and your new firm becomes a partner, no longer your employer. YOU maximize your potential by having the firm work for YOU. BIG DIFFERENCE! ✅This is TRUE independence: 1️⃣ You own the book 100% - Call it what you want. 2️⃣ You really can do what is in the BEST INTEREST of YOUR clients. 3️⃣ You have the most choice of platform, product and approach. 4️⃣ You decide your path to partnership and future growth. 5️⃣ You monetize your business and maximize return. This means best payouts, lowest advisory bps, lower fees and high eventual valuation on the sale of YOUR book. ✅We are ready to assist in your new beginning! Now is the time. ☎️💬📩DM, Call, or Email: Scott M.

Is our forward posture a risk or a deterrent? On one hand you have the Mearsheimer theory of retrenchments inherent strength through conservation of power and on the other deterrence through forward presence. We are going on over two decades of major and minor conflicts ranging from Africa, to Europe, and the Middle East -- with a brewing conflict in Asia. An argument can be made that forward presence hasn't deterred anything, but nuclear weapons have deterred a wider global conflict. Yet, the American led Western Alliance does look militarily strong when contrasted with the plodding, some would argue disastrous, results of Russian revanchism in Ukraine. So what are the costs v. benefits for our global hegemony? Is it influence w/Allies? Maintaining the post World War II Bretton Woods system? No answers, just questions with lots of variables. What I do know is that these were major questions that were being asked during my time in the West Wing and it was largely defined, in my opinion, by a clash between the old guard National Security Enterprise and newly emerging populist wings in both major political parties aiming to retrench. Interesting arguments on both sides.
