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.

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

If you spend a lot of time with activists, as I have, they're just ordinary people who instead of Netflix are getting together in church basements and making posters or making phone calls doing organizing work. It really is about finding a community of other people.

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

The book and the film [This Changes Everything] fed into each other in ways that were compounding and very exciting. The pain was shared.

If we could get proportional representation and open up roles for smaller parties in coalition governments, we could start intentionally breaking down the cult of personality that is one of the most distorting things about our electoral system in Canada. We had a constellation of social actors behind the Leap Manifesto. And we created something bigger than ourselves.

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