We talk about the worldwide Extinction Rebellion protests and their impact on media, politics and public perception. We then discuss Sandy Garossino’s exacting analysis of the claims behind Jason Kenney’s conspiracist rhetoric around environmentalists and the oil sands.

We end with the relationship between integrity and pragmatism in the modern environmental movement, beginning with a discussion about a new fossil discovery with evolutionary biologist Maydianne Andrade and film director Andrew Gregg, moving into a look at the precautionary blackouts in California and the Canadian federal leaders’ debate.

We outline and discuss the climate plans of Canada’s four major parties, as well as Toronto’s climate emergency victory, CAPP’s data collection intentions and the 100 climate debates that recently took place across the country. Lauren Latour is in-studio this week along with Fatima Syed and Emma McIntosh of the National Observer.
