Hi, Steve Patterson here, host of The Debaters, the show where Canada's top comedic minds go head to head on topics that might not be top of mind yet. This week we famously ask a pretty rich question. Is it better to be rich or famous? Get ready for a wealth of wit from two of our country's most well-known, if not most well-paid, jokers. Listen to this week's episode of The Debaters wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a CBC podcast. Welcome to Ideas. I'm Nala Ayed. Global warming, if you look at it, if you want to to set up real solutions, you have to change our way of life. That's former Conservative Environment Minister Lucien Bouchard speaking to David Suzuki back in 1989.

And if we don't move now, there will be a disaster. We are dealing with the survival of the species. And I don't want to be to uh to scare people, but we all know that it is a question of great, great emergency. Lucien Bouchard was one of the featured voices in David Suzuki's 1989 series called It's a Matter of Survival. I'm David Suzuki.
