In this engaging discussion, Alex Himelfarb, a former senior public servant, Linda McQuaig, an award-winning journalist, and Seth Klein, director at the Climate Emergency Unit, explore the urgent need for new public institutions in Canada. They critique the failures of market-driven solutions to climate change and emphasize the potential of crown corporations. Their vision includes innovative ideas like a Youth Climate Corps and public ownership in renewable energy and EV manufacturing. Together, they call for a revival of democratic accountability and collaborative public responses.
