Professors William Carroll, of the University of Victoria, and Jean Philippe Sapinski, of the University of Moncton, join me to discuss Canada's new C-59 (anti-green and anti-red washing) laws to learn how they may support positive climate outcomes.

Highlights from our conversations on “What Are The Alternatives?” with Claire Kraatz, Heidi Bergstrom, Shantel Sherwood (26), Colin Smith, Kevin Van Tighem, Lorne Fitch, (27) Vanessa Ebertz (28), Gabrielle Weasel Head, Jules McCusker, (29), and Karrie Lynn Sparvier (30).

I sat down with Karrie Lynn Sparvier, to hear a two-spirit perspective on misrepresentation. Karrie Lynn was named Gary Cassette at birth, she tells us about her experience as a Wood Mountain Lakota Sioux First Nation child placed in foster care as an infant, then living in residential school in Saskatchewan. An important lesson on many fronts.

A must-watch! I am grateful for this incredible conversation on misrepresentation with Gabrielle (Tsapinaaki) Weasel Head and KJ (Jules) McCusker. We discuss what cultural appropriate is, what it does, and how we may represent people and ideas together, appropriately.
