Скачать или смотреть Hard Truths: Talking about climate change with Amber Bennett

While working on our ⁠Voters Guide⁠ for the Alberta election this month, we've found the province's political parties have been worrisomely ⁠quiet about climate change⁠, even in the midst of unprecedented wildfires. So for this episode of Hard Truths, we invited ⁠Amber Bennett⁠, a Calgary-based communications strategist, to reflect on her experience discussing climate change with Albertans. She offers some surprising insights and guidance for all Canadians wanting to have more meaningful, productive conversations about complex, controversial problems like climate change (and ⁠generational unfairness⁠). These conversations can sometimes be painfully hard to have, but simply talking about climate is a ⁠critical way to tackle the climate crisis⁠.
