Sept. 16, 2015 On Thursday evening, September 17 at 8 pm, the Globe and Mail  will host an important debate among leaders of the three major parties; the Green Party hasl not been invited. The Manifesto on climate change, called the Leap manifesto, issued by a number of prominent Canadians with ties to the NDP is sure to be on the agenda. The Manifesto provides a direction for energy policy, and is based on a documentary, released at the Toronto International Film Festival recently, based in turn on Ms. Klein’s latest book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate..

It talks about what the framers call 'energy democracy'. A backgrounder to the manifesto released  called “We can afford the leap” by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives suggests ways to finance the green and social investment proposed in the manifesto.
