The Department of Political Science is the local host for this country-wide initiative: 100 non-partisan all-candidate debates on the environment will be happening all across Canada before the October 21 election. Join us on campus in Theatre of the Arts with the Waterloo riding candidates!
Confirmed participating candidates are: Lori Campbell (NDP), Bardish Chagger (Liberal), Kirsten Wright (Green), Erika Traub (People's Party), Jerry Zhang (Conservative).
100 Debates on the Environment has a simple mission: to make the environment an issue that no party and no candidate can ignore by organizing more than 100 inclusive, politically neutral, and environment-focused all-candidates debates in communities across Canada. The debates will create a forum where voters can hear directly from candidates about their visions for the environment. They will create accountability for elected leaders and spur meaningful government action towards a sustainable future.
This project is made up of national non-profits, businesses, citizens' groups, high schools and universities, individuals and many others. The project is being coordinated by GreenPAC and Equiterre.
