Show Notes
Frank de Jong (co-founder Canadian Green Party) talks about the fading political currency of policy makers and their inability to meet the demands of inequality alongside rampant right-wing influence. How can a pre-emptive economic system be enabled to deal with issues at source? Taxation is not just to raise revenue, but to improve economic outcomes. Check his work via https://earthsharing.ca/

Hi Karl,
John Fisher here in Smithers B.C. (formerly S.W. Ontario). Frank and me just had an email exchange about my book, The Geography of My Life, which of course has a chapter about our year in the Perth, W.A. area. Great conversation with Frank de Jong! British Columbia with its NDP/Green coalition is fertile ground for George but as said in the talk it always seems to take a ‘Hail Mary!’ Keep up the good work! Maybe we will meet again someday!

Hi John, my ole roommate!
My father is writing his autobiography at the moment, I wish it had a chapter on George.
I’m pleased you enjoyed the show with Frank, he really is one of the best.
