Will smoky skies spur sharper climate action in Ottawa?

from What On Earth

As Ottawa choked on wildfire smoke, climate was left off the agenda in the House of Commons. CBC’s Aaron Wherry explains why it might seem like Canada's climate debate is stuck in the past. We meet 17-year-old Aishwarya Puttur who is fighting for the planet and debuts as our new youth columnist. Producer Molly Segal finds out how to pack a “go bag” in case wildfires force you from your home. An international project out of the University of Victoria aims to share the stories of climate disaster survivors in ways that help them heal. And a boost from the federal government for fossil fuel workers looking to go green.
