Will this be the federal election in Canada that sees the environment take centre stage?
Last fall, a dire warning for the world from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The aim now is to keep any temperature increase below 1.5 degrees, and predicting a massive $54 trillion impact on world economies according to Moody’s.
On the Unpublished Cafe today we hear from a youth advocacy group called Shake Up the Establishment, founded by a group of concerned students in Guelph Ontario, who founded the group to track each federal party's climate commitments. As well, we'll hear from the Conservative Party Environment Critique, Ed Fast. Also today we're joined by Liberal Cabinet Minister for the Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna
