B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad says British Columbia needs to have a “conversation” about nuclear power playing a role in the province’s energy future, and review educational materials that he says are designed for “indoctrination” of children.

Speaking on an episode of Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson’s podcast released Monday, Rustad says he also wants to get rid of the carbon tax, which he says taxes people into poverty in “a vain attempt to change the weather.”
