What questions do you have about the Paris climate agreement?
In 2014, then-U.S. President Barack Obama called the Paris climate deal "the best chance to save the one planet we have." On Monday, Donald Trump announced he's pulling the United States out of the agreement. Canada is still in — as are many other countries. So what questions do you have about the climate deal, and what it all means?
Kathryn Harrison is a professor of political science at the University of British Columbia who teaches courses on climate and energy policy. Alienor Rougeot is a 26-yeard-old climate activist who has attended international climate conferences. They will both be on the show to answer your questions. What do you want to know about the Paris deal? And what questions do you want to ask a young climate activist?
What questions do you have about overcoming a fear of public speaking — or just becoming a better public speaker?
Donald Trump, Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland and Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde all gave speeches in recent days that captured at least national attention. So what makes a great speaker? And how do you become a better one? And what about those people who have an anxiety about public speaking and avoid it at any cost?

He'll take your questions about how to get past a fear of public speaking. Plus, Suzannah Baum is an author, speaker, and executive speech coach. She'll take your questions about becoming a better speaker.
