Our Distinguished Speakers
Paul Wells and Chris Hadfield
OPENING ADDRESS
PAUL WELLS, SENIOR COLUMNIST,
MACLEAN'S MAGAZINE
As Senior Columnist for Maclean's magazine, Paul Wells is one of Canada's foremost
political commentators. Fresh, funny and authoritative, Wells speaks in both official
languages on all of the matters of the day, from Canada’s position in the global economy,
to the inside scoop on what’s really happening inside the Parliament buildings.
In addition to writing for Maclean’s, Wells has written for Time magazine, the National
Post, La Presse and the Literary Review of Canada. His blog, "Inkless Wells,” is required
reading in Ottawa (and wherever else people spend too much time worrying about
politics). He also reported for a year from Paris as Maclean's Europe correspondent,
where he discussed Germany, Poland, the UK, Afghanistan, and Pakistan in his work.
His first book, Right Side Up: The Fall of Paul Martin and the Rise of Stephen Harper's New
Conservatism was a national bestseller and his 2014 release, The Longer I'm Prime Minister:
Stephen Harper and Canada, 2006-, was the recipient of two awards: The $10,000 Dafoe
Book Prize and the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
CHAIR'S BANQUET
COMMANDER CHRIS HADFIELD (RET.)
Commander Chris Hadfield (Ret.) is a retired Canadian astronaut who was the first
Canadian to walk in space. An Engineer and former Royal Canadian Air Force fighter
pilot, Hadfield has flown two space shuttle missions and served as commander of the
International Space Station.
In 1992, Commander Hadfield was accepted into the Canadian astronaut program by
the Canadian Space Agency. He first flew in space aboard STS-74 in November 1995
as a mission specialist. During the mission he visited the Russian space station Mir. In
April 2001 he flew again on STS-100 and visited the International Space Station (ISS),
where he walked in space and helped to install the Canadarm2. In December 2012 he
flew for a third time aboard Soyuz TMA-07M and joined Expedition 34 on the ISS. He
was a member of this expedition until March 2013 when he became the commander
of the ISS as part of Expedition 35. He was responsible for a crew of five astronauts
and helped to run dozens of scientific experiments dealing with the impact of low
gravity on human biology.
During the mission he also gained popularity by chronicling life aboard the space
station and taking pictures of the earth and posting them through Twitter, Facebook
and Tumblr to a large following of people around the world. His mission ended
in May 2013 when he returned to earth. Shortly after returning, he announced his
retirement, capping a 35-year career as a military pilot and an astronaut.
