David Hutton| Whistleblower Protection and Global Warming | 28 August 2024 |CACOR Live
August 28, 2024 @ 13:30 - 16:00 EDT
Speaker: David Hutton
Subject: Whistleblower Protection and Global Warming
Time: Aug 28, 2024
Summary:
The industries most responsible for global warming are engaged in sophisticated, well-funded efforts to mislead the public, in order to boost their profits by undermining efforts to combat climate change. Whistleblowers – insiders who witness such deceptions and help expose them – can be a powerful force in the ongoing battle to protect our planet’s ecosystem. Unlike our peers, Canada has bucked international trends by failing to enact meaningful whistleblower protections, federally or provincially. The Centre for Free Expression continues to advocate for positive change.
