A Green Wave is crashing over PEI, and not for the reasons you think. Yes, Canadians want decisive climate action, but they also want meaningful representation. Increasingly, Greens are the only party with an honest track record. On this episode, we joined Green Party of PEI leader Peter Bevan Baker to talk about why 2019 might be a breakthrough year.

#11 PEI Going Green with Peter Bevan-Baker

In this era of knee-jerk partisanship and decision-based evidence making, the currency of actual ideas has become sadly devalued in Canadian politics. Veteran broadcaster Jo-Ann Roberts is changing all that with People, Politics and Planet, a wide-ranging audio journey through some fascinating political terrain where you’ll meet some of the country’s most thought-provoking policy innovators. Sure, they mostly lean towards Green – but, as Jo-Ann finds out, that’s where the all interesting stuff is happening.

This podcast is made by the Green Party of Canada.
