Description

The United States is collecting on a $15-billion judgement from Volkswagen’s emissions scandal and using that money to fund green initiatives. Ecojustice lawyer Amir Attaran chats about why we’re taking the Canadian government to task on its failure to prosecute VW in what could be a legal slam-dunk. And, you’ll hear from Ecojustice lawyer Margot Venton about her near-decade fight to protect orca whales off the B.C. coast and to fend off a huge threat to their survival: the Trans Mountain expansion.
