Justin chats with Simon Enoch, director of the Saskatchewan office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and co-author of the recent CCPA report "Big Oil in City Hall: Climate and Energy Politics in the Queen City." Justin and Simon discuss the controversy that enveloped Regina's City Council in January 2021 when the oil industry mobilized to block a proposed amendment that could have banned industry sponsorship of city buildings and events, and what people looking for bold climate action at the local level might take away from the events.

Throughout this 60-minute audio documentary, ATU Canada explores the impacts of losing the Saskatchewan Transportation Company and Greyhound on the Prairies. We also interrogate the idea that these services were no longer financially feasible to operate.

We demand the establishment of a national public intercity transit service as part of a Green New Deal for social, economic and environmental justice and tangible reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

Share this documentary with friends, family and candidates running for office. Ask candidates where they stand on operational funding for public intercity transit.
