Voting Strategery | North99 Election Podcast

We all know climate change is a big problem. But do we really understand the problem? Like, how much do we emit? Who emits it? How much do we need to reduce emissions if we don't want to cook ourselves? And what are the most promising technologies and clean energy sources we should focus our resources developing?Basically, how do we fix this thing?These are the questions I had, and fortunately Robin Edger — the Executive Director of Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment — had the answers. He's my guest in this week's episode of the North99 Election Podcast. Enjoy!Support the show

At it's conference this week, the UK Labour Party rolled out plans to bring in a 4 day workweek, provide free care for the elderly, and reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2030.

Geoff and Taylor discuss the policy gap in Canadian politics, and then turn to the largest issue of our time: climate change. Who has a credible plan to end the climate crisis, and can you trust the Liberal's commitment to hit net-zero emissions by 2050? Where do we currently stand on reaching our climate goals?All that and more on this week's episode of the North99 Election Podcast.Support the show
