Bonus Episode: Ariel Chats With Aislinn Clancy, Green Party of Ontario Incumbent

In this bonus episode, Ariel talks with Aislinn Clancy, Green Party of Ontario candidate and incumbent MPP for Kitchener Centre in the upcoming snap Ontario Election. This isn’t an endorsement, but a discussion that hopes to prod solarpunk talking points into the realm of politics. Aislinn and I talk about Green Party of Ontario goals for clean energy, supporting local workers, and how to channel your passion for social justice issues that you care about into empowering activism.

In this bonus episode, Ariel talks with Brooklin Wallis, Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) candidate for Kitchener Centre in the upcoming snap Ontario Election. This isn’t an endorsement, but a discussion that hopes to prod solarpunk talking points into the realm of politics. Brooklin even describes herself as someone with solarpunk leanings! How does that reconcile with participation in the democratic system in Ontario, Canada? What are her solarpunk goals?

Thanks!

We've decided that kings & despots can no longer govern us - that whites can no longer rule non-whites, & men can no longer rule women.

So why are we still ruled by wealth?

The Double Power: A Duality of Powers

The concept of double power highlights how two forms of authority can coexist in society. By promoting self-management & direct democracy, we can empower communities! Let's rethink our social organization for a more just future! #DoublePower #DirectDemocracy #SelfManagement The concept of double power refers to a situation where two forms of power coexist and confront each other within the same society.

Do we want another charismatic leader?

Or un-game-able rules, ground-up institutions, & pellucid transparency?
