2017 Global Drug Survey
Prepared by the GDS Core Research Team Dr Adam Winstock, Dr Monica Barratt, Dr Jason Ferris & Dr Larissa Maier Global overview and highlights N > 115,000 Global Drug Survey GDS2017 © Not to be reproduced without authors permission Hi everyone On behalf of the GDS Core Research Team and everyone of our amazing international network partners and supportive media organisations we’d like to share our headline report deck. I know it won’t have everything that everyone wants but we are hopeful it will give people an idea of how the world of drugs is changing and highlight some of the key things that we think people can better engage with to keep themselves and those they care for safe. Once we cleaned the data from 150,000 people we chose to use data from just under 120,000 people this year for these reports. We have data reports addressing 18 different areas for over 25 countries. We can only share a fraction of what we have here on the site. However, we are very open to sharing the other findings we have and would ask researchers and public health groups to contact us so we can discuss funding and collaboration. We have almost completed designing GDS2018 so that we can start piloting early and give countries where we have not yet found friends to reach out to us. We particularly want to hear from people in Japan, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Dr Adam R Winstock Founder and CEO Global Drug Survey Consultant Psychiatrist and Addiction Medicine Specialist Global Drug Survey GDS2017 © Not to be reproduced without authors permission We think this will be interesting. -
Access to Medicinal Cannabis: Meeting Patient Needs
Access to medicinal cannabis: meeting patient needs All-Party Parliamentary Group for Drug Policy Reform Inquiry Report “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.” Constitution of the World Health Organisation drawn up in 1946 in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations Foreword For six years, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Drug Policy Reform has worked for an end to the “war on drugs” driven by the USA and supported by the UN. In our “Guidance on Interpreting the UN Drugs Conventions”, we called for three major changes: 1. evidence-based drugs policy; 2. policy that genuinely promotes the health and welfare of mankind driven by human rights and public health values; 3. flexibility for Member States to develop drug policy within the UN Conventions based on our four “Guidance” principles. We have had meetings with the President of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC); the Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC); and the Deputy Secretary General of the UN. We have organised international meetings of Ministers and senior officials in Westminster and spoken at international meetings in New York, Brussels and Cartagena, Colombia. At the UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) held in April 2016, we witnessed both the USA and the UN leadership reject a moralistic and prohibitionist approach to the global drug problem. Instead, the UN and US leaders called for all our proposed changes to global drugs policy. -

FP Bonds — Corporate 2018 1 Introduction FP Bonds – Corporate 2018, the third edition to be published by Grey House Publishing Canada, lists outstanding publicly and privately held debt securities – together with their features and provisions – issued by Canadian incorporated companies, as well as brand new introductory material related to the corporate bond market. Separate tables list convertible, exchangeable, retractable and extendible debt issues. An additional table lists outstanding asset-backed securities. Corporate debt issues outstanding as at May 8, 2018 have been included. An important part of investing in the debt market is determining the quality of a debt issue. Credit ratings are forward looking measures which assess an entity’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. As such, a credit rating combines both quantitative and qualitative analysis. FP Bonds – Corporate 2018 includes ratings supplied by Dominion Bond Rating Service(DBRS). The DBRS ratings, dated May 8, 2018, are presented in two tables, in addition to being shown with each issue. The first table lists issues by rating, from lowest to highest. Generally, a DBRS rating of BBB is considered to be investment grade and anything below that could be considered as non-investment grade or high-yield debt. As well, unrated securities are also considered to be high-yield if its spread to a comparable Government of Canada issue is substantially higher than the spread between investment-grade corporate bonds and Government of Canada issues.

Bright Spots in Alberta's Economy
FMI—Bright Spots in Alberta Bright Spots in Alberta’s Economy September 25, 2019 | 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The Sutton Place Hotel, 10235–101 Street, Edmonton, AB T5J 3E9 (Rutherford Room—lower level) Overview While oil and gas has and continues to be a significant factor in the Alberta Economy (almost 25% of Alberta’s GDP in 2013) ongoing pipeline challenges, recently approved federal legislation and demonstrations by special interest groups underscore now more than ever, the need to diversify our economy. But how do we do this and where do we start? As some would say this is not our first rodeo. Alberta has been through many ups and downs over the years although now, it does seem, this time just might be the tip of the iceberg. Transformational change is coming not unlike the shift over a century ago when family transportation by horse and buggy was replaced by gas powered vehicles. The shift was transformational then and will be again for our generation. As our economy continues to evolve our government and business leaders need to lead the charge by rethinking and reshaping what we have to offer and how we will create a positive environment that supports economic prosperity. In this session come hear the sage advice from a variety of business leaders with a broader focus on some of those other economic drivers in Alberta’s economy.
