I sit down with Adam Olsen (SȾHENEP) and we talk about...everything. All of it. You gotta listen to this one! He is also MLA of Saanich North and the Islands and BC Green Caucus Party member.
Adam Olsen is many things. He is a father and a husband and the MLA for Saanich North and the Islands. From his website:
"Adam Olsen (SȾHENEP) is the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Saanich North and the Islands and member of the B.C. Green Caucus. He was first elected to the British Columbia Legislative Assembly in May 2017 and re-elected in October 2020."
"Inspired by the incredible place and people he represents, Adam has a deep love and respect for his home in the Salish Sea (W̱SÁNEĆ)."
"Born in Victoria, BC, Adam has lived, worked and played his entire life on the Saanich Peninsula. He is a member of Tsartlip First Nation (W̱JOȽEȽP)"
In this vibrant and very much to the point conversation, Adam discusses his views as being descended both from Indigenous and Settler peoples in the area. The episode is packed with origin stories from the Tsartlip First Nation and Adam's own principled take on how we need to be doing better right now, and not later.
