Control, Don’t Appease, the Middle Ground AND Avoid Internal Fights - Plus a Pipeline MOU Response

Author: Sierra Club Canada November 29, 2025 Duration: 37:37
We respond to the Pipeline MOU between the Federal Government and Alberta Government - which scrapped the emissions cap in a betrayal of Canadian climate survivors so that U.S. shareholders could profit. Then we chat about advice on controlling - not appeasing - the centre of a debate without sacrificing radical action or succumbing to scapegoating.

Produced by Sierra Club Canada, The Environment in Canada Podcast digs into the stories and policies shaping our natural world. This isn't just a theoretical discussion; it's a grounded look at the intersection of ecology, economy, and community action across the country. You'll hear conversations that connect the dots between climate change impacts in our own backyards and global biodiversity loss, examining everything from local pollution challenges to the national shift toward renewable energy. The dialogue often ventures into how democratic processes influence environmental outcomes and explores the growing legal and ethical concept of the Rights of Nature. Each episode is built to inform and empower, offering a clear-eyed perspective on both the problems and the tangible solutions emerging from Canadian communities, businesses, and advocacy. By focusing on these interconnected themes, the podcast provides a crucial resource for anyone wanting to understand the full scope of environmental issues today. Weaving together news, science, and politics, this series goes beyond headlines to foster a deeper comprehension of our relationship with the land and water. Listening means engaging with the critical debates that will define Canada's ecological future, all through the trusted lens of one of the nation's most established environmental voices. The aim is to leave you not just better informed, but equipped with the context needed to participate meaningfully in the ongoing conversation about protection and sustainability.
