Program Title: life beyond dictatorship, at home and overseas
Description: Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook: Across North Africa and throughout the Middle East, the long suffering citizens of dictatorships and authoritarian monarchies are standing in defiance, willing so far to brave impossible odds and the prospect of death at the hand of their tyrants for a better life for themselves today, and the chance of an egalitarian society in the future. For now, they are buoyed by the wind of change that has seen the heads of the military regimes in Tunisia and Egypt roll, but can the momentum of the tempest be ridden to real reform? Jon Elmer is a Canadian photo-journalist living in, and reporting from Occupied Palestine. Jon is this program's most often appearing guest and the first we go to for news in the region. Jon Elmer in the first half. And; Ingmar Lee is a long-time B.C. environmental defender, whose various campaigns have highlighted the industrial-scale destruction of the province's forests and waterways, the extirpation of native species dependent on those forests and rivers, the role transnational corporations have played in designing the environmental policies of both parties in the province, and the prospects of the British Columbia wilderness becoming a super highway for Asia-bound Tar Sands bitumen. Ingmar Lee and the chance of change for the better for B.C.'s wild legacy in the second half. And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with the goings on on Victoria’s streets and beyond. Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, airing live every Monday, 5-6pm Pacific Time, in Victoria at 101.9FM, 104.3 cable. He also serves as a contributing editor to the web news site, http://www.pacificfreepress.com.
