In this episode of Policy Speaking, our host and PPF’s President and CEO Edward Greenspon chats with the co-chairs of the Energy Future Forum’s Carbon Management Work Group, Janet Annesley (Chief Sustainability Officer at Kiwetinohk Energy) and Michael Bernstein (executive director of Clean Prosperity). They discuss small and large pathways to net-zero as Canada tries to reach our 2030 and 2050 targets through carbon capture and storage as well as other carbon management technologies. Annesley and Bernstein also examine the role different industries can play, from the oil and gas sector to agriculture, risk management strategies in decarbonization efforts and the importance of investing in the commercialization and domestic production of new technologies. Finally, they look to examples from other nations and how Canada can collaborate to manage carbon in the economy.

During Today in Policy, Katie and Edward discuss the Convoy’s presence in Ottawa over the past few weeks and the protests and blockades across the nation. They also reflect on understanding the rise in populism, the motivations behind the actions of protestors and how to rebuild cohesion across Canada.

This episode included a #PPFProud shout out to the YWCA for launching Canada's first National Emergency Survivor's Support Fund which will be used to help women and gender diverse people experiencing intimate partner and domestic abuse escape and rebuild their lives.
