The Site C Dam is a mega-hydro project currently under construction on the Peace River in Treaty 8 Territory in Northeastern BC. Global dam experts have come out publicly to say that they have never witnessed a more secretive, unaccountable project than the Site C Dam. Steeped in backdoor deals, geological question marks and an unknown price tag, the Site C Dam is a disaster in the making. We're lucky enough to have journalist Sarah Cox here to school us. Sarah is an award winning author and journalist currently writing for the legendary outlet The Narwal.  Buckle up. This one is nuts.

The political and social responses to COVID19 have impacted us all in unique ways and somehow still there is a common thread of experience. I've had a really hard time adapting to the shifting normal as I search for purpose and stability in my life. Fortunately I was able to connect with 5 friends of mine who each shared their experience of the last few months with me, and which I edited into this episode.

I wanted to find out how this whole legalization thing was going, now, almost two years in. Turns out handing over the keys of a new industry to a group of folks who don't know squat about pot has it's downfalls. Happy 420 everyone.
