    How People Power Can Change the Establishment

    Four parties in Ontario politics. The Ontario Greens made that official in 2018 and now have two elected members in the assembly. Why does it matter? How can small parties make a difference?

Join Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner as he answers these questions and explains how people can stand up in the face of overwhelming odds and push through political change. Mike and host Alex Kiiffner explore how seemingly small movements have made a big difference in Ontario.

    Does Voting Matter?

    You probably didn’t vote in the last election. Less than half of Ontarians did, the second-lowest turnout in the province’s history. What happened? Why does it feel so useless to vote?

Join Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner as he answers these questions and explains ways to remedy the voting system so that every vote counts. Mike and host Alex Kiiffner explore Ontario’s ancient voting system and what electoral reform could look like.
