Events

The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

The new US president will be inaugurated on January 20, 2017 and the implications will be felt immediately throughout the globe. Donald Trump has already stated that he will do politics differently. He has signaled major policy shift on globalisation, international trade, immigration, security, border management, NATO, the UN and multilateralism just to mention a few. Throughout the election campaign the media played a role – good or bad. Youth participation both during the primaries and the election campaign was remarkable – along with the active social media. Moving forward, at the Glendon Global Debates the experts will discuss some of these issues but and will touch on the following:

The U.S. elections and the global impact – Middle East in particular;
The short/long term implications on Canada/ U.S. relations; trade, security etc.;
The role of the media/social media – good, bad, indifferent;
Youth participation and youth voices during and after the election campaign.
