Dr. Gordon Edwards is Canada's most prominent anti-nuclear activist and president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. He is also The Green Party of Canada's consultant on nuclear power. My only interaction with Dr. Gordon Edwards was then Elizabeth May (leader of GPC) forwarded his critique of a waste recycling reactor:
Dr. Gordon Edwards: "It may be that, one day, after all the power reactors have been shut down and folks have weaned themselves off of nuclear power, some version of these concepts may be useful for waste management purposes. But not now! To do it now would just be unleashing the dogs of nuclear expansionism, leading to a mad flurry of activity that the whole world will end up regretting."
Dr. Chris Keefer is president of Canadians For Nuclear Power (C4NE.ca) and is pushing for an expansion of nuclear power in Canada. Keefer is an emergency room doctor in Toronto, and because a strong supporter of nuclear power once he realized how incredibly low-carbon it is. (Nuclear having been responsible for Ontario's extremely clean grid.)
Dr. Gordon Edwards and Dr. Chris Keefer squared off on 2023-04-25, hosted by the Centre for International Policy Studies at the University of Ottawa.
Originally 1h48m, I've tightened up deliveries and some filibustering during Q&A. It is now 1h04m. (About 44 minutes shorter.) I've also added some supplementary visuals, as there isn't much happening visually otherwise, including a camera locked on the audience towards the end, instead of showing the debaters.
