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

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

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 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.

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

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.
