In the shadow of the Charlottesville protests turned violent thanks to Nazi sympathizers and the sudden outpouring of hate by right wing groups in the USA, we take a look at some of the weeks news from the perspective of racism's role in environmental issues.

With a special, first of what will be an ongoing series, Stefan is joined by Emmay Ma, to discuss the launch of Planning to Win, a series of interviews and discussions with people, organizations, and movements who are building the sustainable future, today.

Stefan starts the show with a terrifying report on assassinated environmentalists, particularly recent spike with 113 being killed so far this year alone. We also draw a line back to the Canadian mining companies, which are all too often implicated, involved or indefensibly ignorant.

At the time of this posting :) 'The Mooch' is already gone... fired 10 days after hiring. The hosts discuss Saryn's ideas around north american's obsession with conflating wealth with talent, despite the simplest way to acquire wealth being by being dishonest and corrupt as highlighted by Anthony Scaramucci's brief appearance at the Trump communications director.

Stefan is back and takes the reigns today with a look at the BC election fallout, the future of LNG projects and local politics and more. We also talk about the documentary Tied to the Sea with director Gillian Burt.

Guest host - Rob Shirkey and Saryn talk about the impact of neoliberalism on our social structures and how the sharing economy could expand beyond health care and public transit.

The hosts agree that it would be a nice summer break to stick with some more fun stuff this week and lay off the heavy (well mostly). To this end we talk about some news, some social pondering, and everything from dating to non-traditional family structure in a climate changing world.

Guest host Tim Nash and Saryn talk about power behind the wheel... those who have it and those who don't. Racialized roads, power dynamics and hot tempers in hot weather this weeks bonus show is based on some academic study around the attitudes of drives and bikers and the role the machine itself plays in the equation.

This week Stefan is away so I am joined by friend of the show and 'The Sustainable Economist' - Tim Nash. We are also joined by phone by Canadian EV expert Matthew Klippenstein to update the Clean Car Report for Canada.
