In this episode we delve into environmental issues, specifically the issue of the Energy East pipeline: What is it? Why should we be worried about it? What are the possible environmental impacts? How can Manitoba, and more broadly Canada, meet carbon emission targets and do it's part to quell the effects of climate change.
To get some insight into this issue we speak with Alex Paterson, a community organizer with Manitoba Energy Justice Coalition, who has been organizing opposition and hounding politicians from all levels of government to commit to prioritizing environmental issues.
