One of the things that could be exciting about this next phase of Canadian politics is if we could maybe have co-leaders.

So many people are on the front lines of this fossil fuel frenzy. It is infused with a sense of urgency.

I think people are losing that sense of security pretty fast, frankly.

I think Canada deserves a forthrightly left electoral alternative. I don't see the advantage for our democracy in having a number of parties crowded in the centre. The Liberals are experts at co-opting left language and framings during campaigns, and historically, we know they don't govern like that.

I think that kind of urgency is what makes this stage of the climate movement really different from what it was even a few years ago when it was much more of the professionalized NGOs lobbying behind closed doors and maybe having a march now and then.

Once you feel the desire to engage, think about what you're good at and what you can contribute. It's about breaking down the idea that there are activists and ordinary people.

I'm really changed by my research. This book ["This Changes Everything" ]is very different from what I set out to write.
