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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
