(Part 1 of 2)
Canada’s MOU with Alberta, a proposed new pipeline in British Columbia, and the possible lifting of the tanker ban have been hot news items over the past few days. Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet over his opposition to the way Prime Minister Mark Carney is handling these issues. In the first episode of a two part series about the MOU, Cortes Currents asked four local leaders for their take on these events.
- Green Party leader Elizabeth May;
- Jennifer Lash, a former senior analyst with Environment and Climate Change Canada and the 2025 Liberal candidate for North Island–Powell River.
- Shelley Luce, Associate Director and Campaigns Director at Sierra Club BC;
- Max Thaysen, a leader of the Cortes Island Climate Action Network and regional representative for North Island on the BC NDP’s Standing Committee on Economy and Environment.
