Our main feature this week is a live in studio visit from NDP MP for Beaches-East York in Toronto Mathew Kellway. The best bill you've never heard of is bill C-619: The Climate Change Accountability Act. The bill, currently being presented by Mathew himself is the resurrection of the dead 2010 version that was spearheaded by NDP legend Jack Layton. Why did it die? Not because it didn't pass the house (it did) but because it was killed by the unelected senate (filled with neo-cons and Harper buddies), marking potentially the first time ever this happened in Canada.

Beyond Crisis film team join us in the first half of the show to talk to us about their ongoing documentary film project. Beyond Crisis set out to cover the People's Climate March in NYC that saw 400,000 people from all over the world crowd the streets of NYC to demand climate action now.

First up this week, Ryan O'Connor author of "First Green Wave: Pollution Probe and the Origins of Environmental Activism in Ontario". Before there was Greenpeace, Environmental Defence, Ecojustice, Sierra Club or any other of the hundreds of large and small environmental organizations in Canada today there was Pollution Probe. Started by a few students and faculty at the University of Toronto back in 1969, Pollution Probe but environmental protection and activism on the map with a series of small and big wins protecting Canadians from burning rivers, toxic smokestacks and rampant litter. Ryan walks us through an outline of his book on the history of Pollution Probe and comments on the contrast between 1970's environmentalism in Canada and today.

Jo Royle, Officer for the Pew Charitable Trusts with the Global Ocean Legacy program about the very recent announcement by the UK government to approve the Pitcairn Islands Marine Reserve which is now the worlds largest fully protected marine space. We talk to Jo about the importance of protecting ocean space, the implicit difficultly of getting people and governments to care about something they almost never see or think about and the value of a clean ocean in general.
