    The Real Deep State & Budget 2025: Leaders Are NOT Saviours, YOU Are.

    To stop oil and gas lobbyists and wealthy interests (the REAL deep state) from undermining democracy and the environment we need to learn to use their strategies and mindset to democracy's advantage (every crisis is an opportunity) - without succumbing to apathy or scapegoats. We look at Budget 2025 and the government's 'climate plan' in terms of corporate influence.

    Decolonizing Climate Research with Dr. Enoch Tse

    Co-host Diktshya Sharma asks Dr. Enoch Tse what does it mean for climate research in Canada to be reciprocal rather than extractive? How do worldviews about the human-nature relationship shape the kinds of questions researchers even think to ask? What would it actually look like for a research project to give back, instead of just taking? Dr. Tse is a Professional Engineer, is co-chair of the Anti-Racism and Respectful Workplace Advisory Committee and division lead of the Anti-Racism Action Plan with the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, and an Adjunct professor (Social Psychology) and (Advocacy) at Adler University. Diktshya is a Bhutanese climate worker based in Toronto. Drawing on her studies in Economics and Psychology at the University of Toronto, she applies behavioural insight to land-based climate initiatives that honour traditional knowledge and community well-being. She is currently an executive member with Sierra Youth, focusing on events and communications.  Be sure to send us your questions at info@sierraclub.ca and sign up for email updates from us here: https://www.sierraclub.ca/subscribe-for-updates/ And don't forget to take action: https://www.sierraclub.ca/take-action/ Support the show Find out more and take action at sierraclub.ca/take-action/

    Oligarch Social Media: Stay, Leave? OR Misuse...

    Should you stay on platforms like X or Meta or leave? We explore ways to misuse these oligarchical propaganda platforms to actually get more people onto better platforms and spaces: examining the tactics and strategies of climate denialists for lessons in how to be more effective online in advocating for environmental and social justice. No matter what you choose to do, stay or leave, it's about how you do it.  Resources and further listening for today's Sovereignty Saturdays sub-series episode: Winning the Communications War with the U.S. Oligarchy, & Big Oil & Gas, Requires YOU! Last Week's Sovereignty Saturdays (3) episode on strategy versus tactics in communications: https://www.sierraclub.ca/united-states-oligarchy-oil/How to Talk with Others About Climate Change & Progress Past the Political Theatre (using metaphor, stories, and framing): https://www.sierraclub.ca/climate-change-family-talk/Other previous Sovereignty Saturdays sub-series episodes: Do You Want Kings?

    Winning the Communications War with the U.S. Oligarchy, & Big Oil & Gas, Requires YOU!

    Canada defeating the aggression of the U.S. oligarchy, & their oil & gas-interest friends, will require all of us learning how to communicate more effectively, strategically, & rapidly to counter disinformation.
