  • Political Hot Potato (516)

    19/08/2016 Duración: 01h17min

    The Green Party may soon be having to reinvent itself with Elizabeth May possibly stepping down as leader next week over a party vote on the Boycott Israel campaign. Digging into the Israel boycott issue itself is outside the scope of our program, but the May angle is very important for politics in Canada. Whether it was her intention or not many people would argue that Ms. May has been more than just the leader of the Greens but rather their sole political product since she took over. Despite the undeniably positive effect of her advocacy in parliament, has she ended up being a liability to the Green Party itself? Guest host Bethany Koughan, local activist and occasional Green Party volunteer discusses. This is just a brief!

  • Robinhood and the United Nations (512)

    22/07/2016 Duración: 01h20min

    Green Majority regular contributor and finance expert Tim Nash the sustainable economist joins us this week for a segment on the concept of a global "Robinhood Tax" and how this idea could address the vast wealth inequality all over the world, climate change and basically all the other big-ticket global problems all in one go. But you know, start small right? :) This is not a new idea, nor is it crazy... in fact it's already been proposed on a smaller scale in some countries and policies similar to this are already in place. Bonus Show! Deirdre and Daryn talk about ferrets and gene editing (part 2 of a discussion from last week) and Pokemon Go (yes really) and it's very real relevance to modern environmental impacts. If you think this is silly or not relevant, sorry! Your wrong :) Listen in on the podcast to find out why! This is just a brief!

  • Pentagon Is Freaking Out - Aren't You? (511)

    15/07/2016 Duración: 01h15min

    We start the show this week with some Canadian news. Well, it's actually only news to some people who haven't been paying attention. Also, some are upset that the Green Party is OK with pipelines as long as the oil is refined in Canada... This is actually not a new position, but it's getting some new attention and the hosts discuss. After the break, we discuss some international news mainly US elections and politics including the lip-fluttering nonsense in the Republican draft platform. This is just a brief!

  • Hope Isn't A Strategy (510)

    08/07/2016 Duración: 01h15min

    We attempt this week to start with the worst news and get better throughout to try to leave you with some hope. But as this weeks title tells you, hope isn't a strategy (that will make sense later). Lot's of news this week including breaking news about an entire lake disappearing due to climate change in Bolivia, a rush of lobbying by mining companies on the Canadian Gov, and an expose on how to evade lobbying laws in Canada. Insects are dying, and yes that's bad... but at least we got a divestment win! This is just a brief!

  • Burn This Puppy Down! #brexit (508)

    24/06/2016 Duración: 01h14min

    The breaking news today is of course the stunning #brexit vote in the UK meaning it will leave the EU, and this presents a very real possibility that the entire EU will break apart. Between Trump, Bernie Sanders, the brexit vote, the various "springs" around the world etc etc etc. One thing is certain, people are pissed and are lashing out whether or not this is a disaster, or the flames before a great rebirth we will simply have to wait and see but it is undeniable the entire world is going through some giant lurching changes right now. The team discusses the political and environmental implications of this vote and the possible repercussions all over the world. This is just a brief!

  • Activism In The Age Of Terror (507)

    17/06/2016 Duración: 01h12min

    Peabody Energy is a massive coal company that recently filed for bankruptcy, and during these proceedings has revealed the monumental degree to which this company was funding public deception and political lobbying around science denial regarding climate change. The question is, was this a lone wolf? A bad actor? Or the norm. In the middle of the program we take a bit of a break from the heavy news to chat with Toronto's music station voice from CHUM FM for the last 40 years Ingrid Schumacher. Ingrid talks about her thoughts on how Toronto has grown up in the last 40 years, animal cruelty and her ability to use her giant microphone to talk about important issues of the day as a music programmer. Finally Stefan and Daryn can't NOT mention the horrific shooting over the weekend, Stefan was already writing a piece about activism in the age of global terror, and so we preview that with some comments about recent events at the end of the program.
