Although there has been much discussion about health care recently, very little attention has been paid to Medicare. While some politicians promise not to touch the vital program, such pledges will only hurt it as it faces serious financing issues that must be addressed and will make the larger health care problem harder to solve.

Much Ado About Nothing:
Rabid Reactionaries and Environmentalist Extremists Lash Out over PM Trudeau’s
Altogether Lacklustre National Carbon Strategy.
Prime Minister Trudeau's comments in the House of Commons early last October concerning a
national carbon strategy sparked perhaps the greatest drama in recent Canadian politics.
Provincial environment ministers very publically, and somewhat melodramatically, walked out of
negotiations with Ottawa saying they were being subverted and strong-armed. Since then, the
slinging of proverbial muck has only grown more intense, especially after the PM finally used the
dreaded word “tax.” Scandalous. What critics from the left and right fail to understand is that
carbon pricing is premised on basic economic concepts of negative externalities and
internalization. Carbon pricing will not pull the rug out from under the Canadian economy. And
what government would pursue policies that would self-sabotage?
If we could all tone down the political rhetoric, we can attempt to premise this debate on facts.
Industrial activity and pollution will always have negative repercussions for society. The cost of
cleaning up environmental messes and the additional burden to health-care systems are negative
externalities of pollution. Negative externalities are costs which stem from a lack of defined
ownership concerning common goods, in this case the environment. There have been no
mechanisms for ensuring that individuals pay their fair portion of environmental damage as no
individual can claim ownership over the environment. Until now, that is. The entire point of carbon
pricing mechanisms is to divvy up those costs and impose, or internalize, them onto polluters so
that society is not left with the bill.
The method of carbon pricing suggested by Trudeau is an emissions tax. Ideally, the price per
tonne of emissions set by the tax equals the cost of the negative externalities of pollution.
Trudeau's plan only begins to reflect the full cost, beginning at 10$ per tonne to 50$ in 2022. This
is where radical environmentalists believe Trudeau is being too weak. Alternatively, provinces can
implement a cap and trade system. This mechanism creates a market for emissions in which the
government auctions permits for producers to pollute, with the total amount of emissions allowed
by the permits equal to the province’s emissions target. Some environmentalists disapprove of
this because selling “permission” to pollute is unseemly to them.
Brad Wall, the firebrand premier of Saskatchewan, epitomizes the conservative stance. He
argues that carbon pricing hinders business and growth while rendering Canada uncompetitive in
the world market. This is quite exaggerated. The tax only seeks to reflect the true costs of doing
business, which most people would agree the businesses themselves should pay. If carbon

How Should COVID Experience be Used for Setting Future Mortality Webcast - 20...MarkSpong1
The excess deaths resulting from COVID have presented a challenge to actuaries who rely on historical experience to inform assumptions about the future. The issue is that 2020 and 2021 mortality is significantly higher than expected and there is hope that this spike is temporary. In short, everyone is wondering whether to use pandemic mortality experience at all and if so, how to overcome the practical challenges of implementation. This webcast will provide an overview of the range of approaches used by institutions (US, Canada, UK), industry groups, and industry survey responses. We’ll also quantify and compare some of these approaches drawing from a recent SOA expert opinion survey on COVID-19 and short term impacts on future US mortality.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
