Episode Details

A retired doctor in Brandon, Manitoba, is sounding the alarm over a proposed $multi-billion gas plant expansion, warning that long-term exposure to natural gas emissions could trigger asthma, heart attacks, strokes, and cognitive decline. Dr. Scott Blyth, a member of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, argues Manitoba should pivot to wind and solar instead, as the project threatens 50,000 residents with pollution while the province lags behind in clean energy. While Manitoba Hydro insists the turbines are needed to meet future demand—and will run only 5% of the time—Blyth insists public awareness must drive a potential rejection, urging caution before irreversible harm occurs.
