A Canadian Climate of Mind
Book •
Timothy Leduc's 'A Canadian Climate of Mind' explores how climate change can serve as a spiritual and cultural initiation, exposing the pain at the root of modern extractivist culture in Canada.
Drawing on Indigenous knowledges, conservation history, and personal reflection, Leduc argues for relational ways of knowing the land that cultivate humility, care, and practical hope.
He diagnoses Canada's deep dependence on fossil fuels and the cultural narratives that sustain extractivism, while proposing educational and community-based practices that foster attunement to place.
The book blends scholarship and storytelling to suggest how social work, education, and everyday practices might create marginal spaces for alternative relationships with the more-than-human world.
Leduc emphasizes humility, pluralistic dialogue, and embodied practices as foundations for substantive transformation.
