Green Majority Radio

We talk about oil prices and COVID-19, and interview Stand Gibson of Water Docs.

We discuss whether Canada will finally stop lying about Indigenous peoples, also racism, authoritarianism, media narratives and climate change. The Sustainable Economist Tim Nash interviews three guests about green investing in the final 25 minutes.

Justin Trudeau is tasting the fruit of his misinformed, half-hearted and rhetoric-heavy reconciliation project. Let’s hope Canada is finally ready to come to the table in good faith. Emma McIntosh joins us again this week to discuss Wet’suwet’en, the Teck mine, TMX, Jason Kenney and Canadian media. Matthew Klippenstein, our EV market expert, hops on the phone to talk about capitalism and climate change.

We talk about the nationwide uprising clogging Canada’s economy, speak with correspondent Kevin Guyan who has been camping out at the Mohawk rail blockade in Tyendinaga, Ontario, and interview David Suzuki on his new documentary, Aging Well Suzuki Style, one senior’s look at a journey into the latter phase of our lives.

We discuss the Turtle Island-wide rebellion sparked by the Wet’suwet’en struggle against the theft of their land and the misinformation perpetrated by government and industry regarding the legality of our government’s invasion. We also talk about Evo Morales and the role Bolivian lithium deposits played in his ouster.

The RCMP is in the midst of a raid of Wet’suwet’en land, indigenous concerns have been ignored regarding TMX, the Teck Mine is still being considered, and environmental protectors across Latin America are being killed. In our last segment we sit down with Christine Nielsen to discuss her vivid new documentary Kingdom of the Tide.

We discuss how culture edits itself and how we’ve marginalized our own history in the context of pipelines, colonialism and Davos. We also talk about citizens’ assemblies, green taxes, the EU, Trump, Greta, climate lawsuits, big tech and renewables.

We talk about the potential of farmer’s co-ops to dismantle extractive corporate agriculture, Canadian colonialism, oceans, Trump, and the hypnotism of men in suits.

We imagine with Eric Holthaus what this decade could become if we actually tackle the crisis. Emma McIntosh joins us again to discuss the ongoing Wet’suwet’en struggle against the RCMP in Northern BC - also BlackRock, the Teck Frontier mine, wildfires and how weather shapes culture.

Our colonial contradictions continue to threaten Indigenous peoples and the environment. We talk about the Wet’suwet’en struggle against a pipeline in Northern BC, Iran, Australian fires, Indonesia, India and corporate feudalism.
