Debate over the federal carbon tax has come to B.C. We hear from BC United MLA Dan Davies, Peace River North, Rural and Social Development Critic whose party wants to cut the tax. We also hear from U.B.C. Professor of Political Science Kathryn Harrison who specializes in climate and environmental politics. In our second half we meet 90-year-old internet sensation Kathy Brady, a retired dietician whose 1957 CBC video on making pizzas has gone viral (https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1402818181). She is accompanied by her daughter-in-law Debbie Butt who found the video on social media.
