Greening Out with Elizabeth May - The Woke & Mail 05

Elizabeth May celebrates her retirement as Green Party Leader. We talk about the Green Economy, the much-needed destruction of Canada's Oil & Gas industry in Alberta, and boxed wine.

(There are moments later in this episode that need proper context: Elizabeth May was speaking negatively about Conservatives ONLY - not Canadians or Green party supporters as a whole.)
