I’m excited to welcome Armine Yalnizyan as our guest today. Armine is a leading voice on Canada’s economy. According to Maclean’s Magazine, who ranked her #22 on their Power List. She’s the Caring Person’s economist and a big picture thinker who looks out for the little guy. Armine coined the term “She-cession”, way back in March 2020, to describe the economic fallout of the pandemic and is currently the Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers. Her mission as a policy thinker and innovator, is to bring a worker’s perspective to the public policy development process and to help all of us make sense of what’s happening in the economy. And these are precisely the things we’re going to talk about today:

• Why do working people deserve a bigger slice of the pie?
• How do they get it?
• How will hordes of gig workers ever find security?
• And what’s the role of government in all of that?
