We interview survivors of wildfires and floods in Canada who lost businesses, communities, or had property damaged. They are calling for the Canadian Government to enact an emissions cap on oil and gas corporations. That emissions cap is now out in draft form as of yesterday. We also get into the new policy, how it looks, how it can be strengthened, why it needs to be implemented rapidly.

The emissions cap will NOT harm our economy, nor jobs, nor grocery prices and oil and gas lobbyists do not care about you - that much is clear.

We also recently held exhibits of artefacts from climate disasters which featured testimonies from survivors calling for an emissions cap entitled Protect What We Love in both Ottawa and NYC: https://www.protectwhatwelove.ca/

Climate survivors talk about their experiences and meeting others at the exhibit who have been impacted by climate change.
