Ep: 3 - Making Change from the Inside
•
Bowinn Ma & Christine Boyle
In Episode 3, Bowinn & Boyle interview each other about what it's like to work for positive change within the political systems they've been elected into - provincial and municipal, respectively. They share their experiences, including some “what the eff” moments as they navigate a political system designed to resist change. While the gals are impatient to help people and make things better *now* they find that a lot of important, systemic work is slow - much slower than either of them would like.
