Canadian farmers say they want to be part of climate change solutions
As the global COP26 meetings wrap up this week in Glasgow, some Canadian farmers are thinking about their role in addressing the climate crisis. Farms are on the front lines of climate change, often feeling the effects first. They can also be part of the solution by cutting emissions and sequestering carbon in the soil.
Chris Hall chats with three Canadian farmers — Mary Robinson, Cedric MacLeod and Brent Preston — about farming solutions for climate change and what kind of government support they need.

Joanna Kyriazis, a senior policy adviser at Clean Energy Canada, joins The House to discuss the green protectionism of the Biden administration.
