I've always kind of hated films about climate change.

Film 'This Changes Everything' is not a sad story. It's not a slit-your-wrists climate film. It's a story about people who are making change happen.

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

We're dealing with a crisis of inequality, of joblessness, of underemployment.

I personally feel very strongly that what it will take is not more disasters, it's that what it will take is a vision of the future that is better than our present.
