The battle for green voters begins
Listen now
Description
With three months to go before the federal election, two parties on the left are trying to plant their flag as the party of environmentalists. The NDP recently introduced its "Canadian New Deal" which promises aggressive carbon targets and investments in energy efficiency. Meanwhile, the Green Party is surging in the polls, with its promise to double Canada's emission reduction targets.

She's been speaking to voters in British Columbia about which party should get the environmentalist vote this fall.
