Canada's Green Party held a nuclear round-table.
Dr. Gordon Edwards (who is The Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility) was the anti-nuclear speaker (they were all anti-nuclear) who I've come to recognize as the go-to-person for Canadian Greens for all their nuclear questions.
So this video is an attempt to give Canadian Greens a chance to hear Dr. Gordon Edwards's opinions on nuclear power be challenged.
This is my promotional Tweet:

Dr. Gordon Edwards's 2011 email that was forwarded by Elizabeth May was a big factor in why I came to support nuclear power. Before I started reviewing Dr. Helen Caldicott footage, it was Dr. Gordon Edwards who first gave me a taste of weak anti-nuclear arguments.
Calgary's Marda Gras street festival on Aug 8th (Sunday)
At the end of the video you'll see I mention "Marda Gras" festival in Calgary. I'm going to host a pro-nuclear table on Aug 8th (Sunday), and see how that experience goes.
If you're in Calgary, try and check it out. Is in Calgary's Marda Loop community.
Pickering - Tax The Gas campaign
Canadians For Nuclear Energy has launched a "Tax The Gas" campaign to try save Ontario's Pickering nuclear power plant.
It is an interesting example of how a supposed carbon-tax fails to actually tax carbon when that would strengthen nuclear power's cost advantage.
Ontario gas plants are only taxed for emissions over 370 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour. This unreasonably high threshold means gas plants pay the carbon tax on only 10% of their carbon emissions.
Pickering needs to be refurbished or it will retire. If the competing gas plants were actually taxed for their carbon emissions, then refurbishment becomes a no-brainer.
