Fire and Oil: Victory for Pipeline Protestors (622)

The Canadian Federal Court of Appeals has halted the government's bid to build the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline in a major victory for First Nations and folks who care about the planet. We discuss the transformative nature of this issue for Canada as a country, the political insanity it has caused, and whether it could actually be a positive step towards true reconciliation. We also discuss the growing intensity of ongoing wildfires in California and British Columbia.
