It seems to me that a large portion of people who might vote NDP are also very aware of the realities of climate change. How do you hope to appeal to them?

I have a good example about this. My union ships coal out, both metallurgical coal, that makes steel, and thermal coal, which is burned. We’re supposed to phase out coal by 2030.

If we were to end coal shipping today, probably about 100 of my members would be out of work. But by giving us five years to phase it out, our union and employers can transition to shipping other products mined in Canada.

That’s a perfect example of identifying a product that is harmful to the environment and moving gently and safely so that workers are protected. The environment is going to be protected.

Goddamn this guy gets it! I was literally making this argument in another thread.

He hits most important notes correctly from a working class perspective. He looks and sounds genuine. Donated to his campaign. I am hopeful!
