In a special edition of Trillium Talk, Ontario's Green Party leader joins our 'Inside the Village' podcast for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of election day.

Welcome to a special edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from The Trillium, Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature. 

For today’s episode, we once again pass the mic to the hosts of our Inside the Village podcast, who sat down for an in-depth conversation with Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner.

Schreiner is one of two Green MPPs looking to get re-elected, and he’s confident voters are on the brink of sending some more representatives to Queen’s Park on Feb. 27.

Our interview covers a lot of ground — from affordable housing to climate change to Schreiner's American roots. (In case you didn't know, he grew up on a family farm in Kansas before moving to Ontario.)

We also ask Schreiner just how close he came to running for the Liberal Party leadership after the last election.

For the record, we have invited each of the major party leaders to join us on the podcast for an election-campaign conversation. Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie chatted with us last week and our interview with NDP Leader Marit Stiles was posted yesterday.

PC Leader Doug Ford declined our invitation, saying through a spokesperson that “we’re unable to accommodate this request.”

Voters head to the polls in exactly in six days, on Feb. 27.
