Since the devastating dust bowl conditions of the Great Depression, Ducks Unlimited Canada has conserved wetlands. These habitats trap and store massive amounts of carbon – second only to tropical rainforests. When wetlands are destroyed, they release greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. Our best opportunity to address climate change is to save the wetlands we still have and restore the ones we’ve lost. We’re ready to tackle climate change. Let’s conserve Canada’s wetlands together.

This makes me so very proud to be both indigenous and Canadian,’ says Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould. P&I photograph by Jake Wright CONTENTS FEATURES 36 WAKING A SLEEPING GIANT There’s an historic number of elected indigenous MPs in the House of Commons. Will there be an influential shift in public policy? ‘Renewing the nation-to-nation relationship with indigenous peoples lies at the heart of a strong Canada. Our legacy as a government will depend on it,’ says Jody Wilson-Raybould, the country’s first indigenous Justice Minister. 20 UBER AND THE CANADIAN SHARING ECONOMY There’s a structural shift happening in the labour force with rideshare company Uber’s rising prominence across Canadian cities. So far, it’s a municipal issue about licenses, but the implications for the economy go further: from the way taxes are collected to how the government funds pensions. It’s time for the federal government to pay attention. 26 IS BAY STREET STILL A MAN’S WORLD? Women make up 65 per cent of all employees at Canadian banks, but female executives in the financial industry are still few and far between. ‘The boardrooms of Canada do not represent Canadians.’ 30 GLOBAL INTERNET TV On its way to becoming the world’s biggest online streaming service, Canada was Netflix’s first international market. But new players such as Shomi and Crave TV are also on the scene and influencing how Canadians consume television in a big way. 46 THE POLITICS OF INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING Transit experts warn that the new federal government must demand greater accountability from municipal and provincial partners to ensure politics does not trump thorough research in setting infrastructure priorities and squander an opportunity to reinvent exhausted transportation grids across the country. When you choose VIA Rail for your business travel, you help reduce government expenses and create value for taxpayers. Plus, you maximize your productivity along the way.
