We need to wind down fossil-fuels, and fast. It’s the single largest source of emissions in Canada. But what about the communities and people who depend on the oil and gas industry for their livelihoods?

Plus, National Observer columnist Max Fawcett and Linda Solomon Wood on why Canada’s climate goals don’t have to be like oil and water when it comes to Alberta.GUESTS:Delia Warren, offshore wind consultant and former director of Iron and Earth EastDirk Toleman, heavy machinery operator and UNIFOR local president in Fort McMurrayJim Standford, economist and Director of Centre for Future WorkMax Fawcett, Canada’s National ObserverAngela Carter, political science professor at the University of WaterlooTruzaar Dordi, postdoctoral fellow in climate finance at the University of WaterlooCREDITS:Final audio mix by Aftertouch Audio.
