June 26, 2024

Joanna Barron, executive of the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF), appeared on the ILS podcast, The Curious Task, in an episode titled “Did the Pandemic Undermine Civil Liberties?“⁴²

In response to the question that is also the name of the episode, Barron commented:⁴³

“So I think you’re expecting that my answer is going to be yes, and the answer certainly is yes, but there’s a lot to sort of break down.”

Barron continued:⁴⁴“There’s first what we saw in terms of responses from courts and responses from governments in respecting, or as the case was in the overwhelming instances, not respecting rights during the pandemic, but then there’s the sort of softer knock-on effects, um, which I would break down into both the effects of some of the court precedents in response to really egregious infringements of rights.

“This was a period of time when government was involved in legislating things that we probably just never conceived of that would be legislated, like how many people could go to your Christmas dinner or whether you had to show a vaccine passport to go to the museum or at some point, which by the way, people forget, had to show vaccine passports to attend private gatherings.

Like none of these things were things that even occurred to even paranoid libertarians like ourselves, that governments would be involved in legislating.”

Barron also discussed the “Freedom Convoy” that occupied Ottawa:⁴⁵

“I mean, you can’t ignore the proof in the pudding that within a few weeks or maybe six weeks of all of this convoy stuff erupting, almost all of the provinces, which by the way, the provinces, of course the focus of the convoy organizers was that the federal government and they had some very inchoate demands like that they meet with the Governor General and unclear where that was gonna go, but really it was the provinces that were bringing in the, you know, vaccine passports and stuff like that, and almost all of those were repealed within about six weeks of this erupting.

And I, you know, all of the premiers at the time claimed that this had nothing to do with the convoy, but I find that unconvincing. I think that there was a real point made that enough is enough.”

November 22, 2023

The Curious Task featured Iain Murray, vice president of strategy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), in an episode titled “What Has Happened to Conservatism?“⁴⁶

According to Murray, in modern times, “the aligning issue is identity.”⁴⁷

“Nationalist is on one side, but on the other side is sort of hyper-identitarian, what people call woke politics. That’s the primary aligning issue these days, and that has caused problems for those of us who really focus on things like free markets and classical liberalism generally, because classical liberalism doesn’t really say that much these days about identity,” he added.

ILS’s Matt Bufton asked Murray his opinion on “woke corporations these days.” Murray responded:⁴⁸

“It was… The founder of CEI, Fred Smith, strongly advised business leaders against doing things like appointing vice presidents of environmental issues, getting involved in corporate social responsibility, that sort of thing, because it would distort the purpose of the corporation and lead to not just financial problems, but to a polarization of the corporation. I think that’s, in many ways, that’s what’s happened.”

He added, “The regulation to do with diversity, equity and inclusion and environmental, social and governance, ESG regulation, a lot of which still making its way through the system. That forces companies to take these positions, which as we’ve seen, can be actually quite damaging to them. So the question is whether corporations actually wake up, smell the coffee, and start pushing back against this regulation. And I think there are signs that that may well be happening. So perhaps corporations aren’t the lost cause for conservatives that they think they are at the moment.”

November 15, 2023

The ILS featured Atlas Network‘s Chief Executive Officer, Brad Lips, on an episode of The Curious Task podcast titled “Is The Liberty Movement In Trouble?“⁴⁹

“We’ve seen the health crisis of COVID morph into a real freedom crisis, I would call it,” Lips said.⁵⁰

He added, “I do get anxious that the liberty movement, which you and I are part of and which I think has a lot of the answers for what is necessary to chart a path out of some of our troubles, it does feel like we’re outgunned a lot.”⁵¹

During the episode, ILS’s Sabine El-Chidiac commented she was “A big fan of Atlas Network.”⁵²

During a brief summary of Atlas Network’s history, Lips said:⁵³

“Atlas is trying to make this movement stronger, and we do that by recognizing what a bottom-up effort it is, and that there’s a lot of peer-to-peer learning that we can help facilitate, and because we get to know our partners so well, we’ve earned the trust of philanthropists that will to see more activity promoting liberty and solving problems through free market solutions. So we have earned their trust so that we raise money from them, sub-grant it out to our partners, and then we bring people together to sort of celebrate successes.”

He also commented on what he claimed are “conspiracy” theories about Atlas Network:⁵⁴

“But the thing that maybe I’ll just comment, because as you said, maybe people have read incorrect things. The thing that amuses me is that if you do Google, as you’ll find things online, it’s a tough headline story to put a positive spin on. It’s really tough to get people excited about, Atlas Network plays, you know, minor facilitating role for hundreds of organizations to do great things. And nobody writes that story.

“So we do wind up being very attractive to conspiracy theorists who tend to believe that there is some nefarious top-down effort to, you know, subvert leftist causes or environmentalist causes and they imagine that we’re beholden to some nefarious corporate donors.

“We take almost zero corporate money. So there are things that are incorrect online because they tend to approach this with this fallacy that social change happens from the top down commanded by evil people who want to bankroll things in their own self-interest. Like all of our donors are genuinely interested in how the ideas of liberty unlock opportunity for everyone and especially for vulnerable populations. So that’s really at the heart of our work.”

El-Chidiac asked Lips what some recent challenges and wins were based on survey results from people leading organizations within the “liberty movement.” Among those Lips mentioned was “cancel culture”:⁵⁵

“They talked about the appeal of socialism, especially among younger generations that have not actually lived under socialism, but maybe for that reason find the concept appealing. There’s also a focus on cancel culture and the threats to free expression that are coming through this alliance between big tech and government, sort of a new frontier.”

August 12, 2022

Pierre Desrochers and Joanna Szurmak spoke about “climate change and overpopulation“⁵⁶ during the Institute for Liberal Studies’ “Freedom Week,” according to a post by ILS on Twitter/X.⁵⁷

January 26, 2022

ILS’s Alex Aragona interviewed Stephen Davies for their podcast The Curious Task on an episode titled “What Is Global Catastrophic Risk?“⁵⁸

The episode description read as follows:”Alex speaks with Steve Davies about the meaning of ‘Global Catastrophic Risk’, and what it can reveal about how restructuring our understanding of big gambles can help us combat the threats of pandemics, climate change, and even technological singularity.”⁵⁹

Discussing climate change, Davis commented:⁶⁰

“I think a lot of the discussion about that particular topic, climate change, is misguided because it’s all done in terms of what the latest extrapolations of the various committees on climate change say is going to happen and what their critics say is not going to happen.

“We should just forget about all that. It’s completely irrelevant. It’s hot air, actually. What we should focus upon is the odds that certain outcomes will happen and see whether or not we’re prepared to take, and weigh up the balance of the cost by the side, and say what you know, what bet we prepare to take?”

April 28, 2021

ILS’s The Curious Task podcast featured Terence Kealey in an episode titled “Should Government Fund Science?“⁶¹

During the episode, Kealey commented on climate change:⁶²

“I mean, what is dismaying about global warming and climate change is it’s very hard to know who really to trust. I mean, we all know what the conventional story is. But when you read the critics of the conventional story, they can be surprisingly persuasive. So it turns out the correlation between atmospheric CO2 and temperatures isn’t such a good thing.

“For example, I mean, in my youth between the Second World War and 1975, CO2 levels are rising and yet global temperatures are falling. Why is that? It might be that they’ve fallen even more, but for CO2, I’m not gonna get into that.”

“But what I’m trying to say is, I can see there would be an argument for completely dispassionate research, free of all vested interests. And if the government could justify that, I would be perfectly happy and perfect, and it would be a small sum of money anyway. But I wouldn’t rule out from philosophical grounds the idea that democratic governments should not have an independent science base.”

October 27, 2021

Bruce Caldwell, who noted during the episode that he became a member of the Mont Pelerin Society (MPS) in 2010, joined The Curious Task podcast to discuss “How Did The Mont Pelerin Society Begin?“⁶³

When Alex Aragona asked Caldwell about how the funding and logistics came together for the first meeting of the MPS. ⁶⁴

So, I mean, you know, one of the standard accusations about the Mont Pelerin Society is that it’s these academics who are in bed with big foundations who are, you know, have their particular views that they’re trying to press and that these academics are going along with it. And what you can see with the correspondence and just the actual, what actually transpired, is really quite a different story,” Caldwell said.⁶⁵

He later added, “one of the things that I think is quite important, particularly given the way that the Mont Pelerin society is so often characterized by its critics, is that they were very, careful about, perceptions even, of being influenced by moneyed interests and corporate interests. And indeed there was only, so there were some foundation people who attended the meeting, but by and large it was academics and there were also writers, people like Henry Hazlitt, Veronica Wedgewood and others.”⁶⁶

September 9, 2020

Matt Ridley joined an episode of The Curious Task titled “How Does Innovation Flourish?“⁶⁷

Ridley commented during the episode: “I do have some difficulty with the idea that governments can turn innovation on and off, because as I say, they haven’t fully understood it. And they think they can. I mean, governments on the whole think that what you need to do is feed money to, in the form of grants and subsidies, to clever people and innovation will come out the other end of the pipe. I don’t think it’s quite that simple.

I think the limiting factor on innovation is often what people want you to innovate as much as what you’re putting in, in the way of inputs. And also, I think governments have misunderstood the process of innovation and think it’s much more about the genius having a brilliant idea, and then the rest follows naturally. You know, invent a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. It doesn’t happen that way.”

September 2, 2020

Terry Anderson of the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC) was a guest for an episode of The Curious Task titled “How Can We Unlock The Wealth of Indigenous Nations?“⁶⁸

“If a Nation does not have property rights and a stable rule of law, there can be no investment climate, and without investment, there cannot be prosperity, and there cannot be dignity, in my opinion,” Anderson said.⁶⁹
