Oct. 29, noon ET</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The book Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson has been generating a lot of buzz among politicians and policymakers in the U.S. and Canada. The book’s main argument is that liberalism’s approach to climate action and other progressive policies has focused too much on limits, over-regulation and what people can’t or shouldn’t do. To regain public support for climate action, Klein and Thompson call for fewer regulations and limits, and more focus on building what people need, such as clean energy and affordable housing, quickly. Join us for what’s sure to be a dynamic and lively discussion with five climate and communications experts about what the “abundance” argument is, why it’s so popular this year and the challenges and opportunities in translating the idea to a Canadian context.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3GNC9nwCRtmjdyr_LMv8lQ#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3GNC9nwCRtmjdyr_LMv8lQ#/registration</a></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#C00000'>Nuclear Issues in Port Hope: Past, Present, and Future<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.
