This week we go back to 1992 to listen to one of the most famous environmental speeches in modern history, Severn Cullis-Suzuki at Rio ’92. Has anything changed? Can it still?

Next up, we listen to a fabulous clip of Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada taking the parliamentary secretary to the minister of the environment – Colin Carrie to task for intentionally trying to mislead Canadians about our own CO2 emissions.

Finally, the panel dissects a recent “The Agenda” with Steve Paikin episode “Carbon Commitments” that featured industry mouthpiece Candice Malcolm (Ontario Director) for the strongly suspected astroturf group , Canadian Taxpayers Federation on what could have been a serious discussion on the evolution of a federal carbon regulation system. Why does the CBC keep putting private interests and actual experts next to each other as if they we’re equally valid?

This week Andrew Mitrovica, journalist teacher, former CBC Fifth Estate producer and current iPolitics reporter takes a metaphorical hatchet to the rhetoric at the CBC. Rex Murphy, Peter Mansbridge and Amanda Lang have all had brazen responses to what should have been embarrassing scandals this year regarding their acceptance of speaking fees from big business they are supposedly objectively reporting on with Canada's publicly funded broadcaster. Andrew talks about the stories including his own contributions on this weeks show. With journalism as the topic, we discuss the implications brought up by Mr. Mitrovica with co-hosts Kevin Farmer and Stefan Hostetter.
