Held on Earth Day, this CBC event brings together Canadian creators, researchers, climate leaders, and media experts to ask a simple question: how can we tell better climate stories and make film and TV production greener?

It covers real, useful ideas, including:

• how to tell climate stories without leaving people hopeless

• how climate themes can fit into dramas, kids’ shows, reality TV, and documentaries

• how productions can cut emissions from travel, transport, power, and AI use

• how projects like Carter’s Project are helping B.C. communities track air quality

This is where CBC plays a role that matters. Climate change is not just a science story or a politics story. It is a community story, a family story, a health story, and a future-of-Canada story. When CBC helps creators tell those stories well, it helps Canadians understand what is happening and what we can do about it.

One quote from the session says it well: “We need to stop looking for only the climate story and start looking for the climate angle in every story.”

You’d be hard pressed to find this kind of program in for-profit media. CBC can do it because its job is bigger than chasing clicks. It helps Canadians learn, connect, and see the future we can build together.

And you’d barely hear that contrast anywhere without outlets like CBC connecting the dots.

Because this is what real journalism does. It puts actions beside outcomes.

Students here are dealing with reduced grants, stricter eligibility, and more debt because of Ford government decisions. Meanwhile, he’s being handed a degree from an American university and talking about "opportunity."

At the same time

• $75 million spent on U.S. ads that strained trade talks

• a retroactive law to block access to his own records

• growing deficits while claiming fiscal responsibility

• taxpayer money flowing freely for optics, while supports get cut

That’s not just a rival political narrative. That’s a clear pattern of choosing to bypass the needs of his constituents.

So here’s the question--

Since OSAP was cut by this government, why is that not front and centre in every conversation about “opportunity”?

If accountability matters, why are FOI records being hidden?

If public money is tight, why is it always students and everyday people who feel it first?

And maybe the bigger one

What happens when the only outlets consistently laying this out get defunded or drowned out?

Who keeps track of the contradictions then?

Who holds power to account?

CBC does that work. And moments like this are exactly why it MATTERS, and why the Conservative party wants to defund it.

Then he takes it one step further… turning them into a crispy beer-battered fiddlehead tempura 🤤

This is the kind of content CBC shares that connects food, culture, and knowledge in a real, grounded way.

Have you ever tried fiddleheads before?

Would you forage them yourself or just show up for the snack? 😄

Just floating past like, “Don’t mind me, I’ve got places to be.”

This is a hooded nudibranch.

It glides through the water like it’s flying, opening its wide hood to scoop up plankton as it goes. The nudibranch itself can be eaten by rockfish, sculpins, and shore crabs.

So yeah, it’s got places to be. Mostly wherever the current takes it.
