Conor talks with Vittoria Bellissimo of the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) about where Canada actually stands on progress towards renewable energy and jobs and what actions are needed most from governments at all levels. Plus they discuss examples of communities taking control of their energy grids through renewables, how companies should work with communities to address their concerns and wishes, and some of the misinformation out there on renewable energy reliability, practicality, and affordability.
In the Q&A we answer a series of comments and concerns on having hope in the environmental movement and talk about why people are making a real difference - a difference we should take note of even as a we grapple with the complexities of climate action.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
