How listeners can act locally

We respond to the Pipeline MOU between the Federal Government and Alberta Government -  which scrapped the emissions cap in a betrayal of Canadian climate survivors so that U.S. shareholders could profit. Then we chat about advice on controlling - not appeasing - the centre of a debate without sacrificing radical action or succumbing to scapegoating.
