Who We Are with Elizabeth May
Join leader of the Green Party of Canada and Member of Parliament, Elizabeth May, for a riveting discussion on Canada’s role in a challenging time.
In Who We Are: Reflections on my life and on Canada, Elizabeth draws from her life experience, growing up in a politically active family in the US, to moving to a small village on Cape Breton Island. Forty five years after leaving the US as a teenager, she will reflect on the decline of US society, the rise of ignorance and the challenge for Canada. The Paris Agreement and the impact of Trump will be explored with a surprisingly hopeful conclusion.
