Recorded on Zoom in late-August 2021, in the second week since the launch of the Federal election, episode 44 is a deep dive into the views of the electorate and the salience of energy and environmental issues in the campaign. For this episode, Greg Lyle, founder and President of Innovative Research Group, discusses the drivers in the election campaign relevant to the electricity sector (environment, affordability, jobs), evolving views on climate change, and how campaigns and the media set priorities. Greg also shares what he sees as customer priorities for electricity companies. And, as with previous podcasts, we wrap up the conversation with two book recommendations, books a pollster would recommend during a Canadian election campaign.
