• We run our very important fall fundraising drive. Having recently swapped its aging antenna with an expensive but much-needed replacement, CIUT is in need of your support more than ever.
• TGM team members Simon Watson, Rosemary Mosco and Kevin Farmer join Jordan Poppenk to discuss the program, its mandate, and why it’s worth supporting.

The headlines in brief:

• Nobel Prize-winning scientists rebuked the federal government over shutting down a federal climate change research network;
• Conservation groups have launched legal action against Federal Minister of Environment John Baird;
• British Columbia signed a $2.2-billion infrastructure deal with Ottawa, the first province to do so under the Building Canada fund;
• A new book discloses that Alberta’s environment minister offered billions in investments in the Montreal Stock Exchange in exchange for a softening of Quebec’s position on the Kyoto protocol.
