Program Title: can we really promote democracy overseas if we can't do it ourselves?
Description: Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook: Nathalie des Rosiers is General Counsel of Canadian Civil Liberties Association. She is the former Dean of the Faculty of Law - Civil Law Section at the University of Ottawa, and is a past President of the Law Commission of Canada. Of events at the G20 she writes; "There are events in Canadian history that have become symbols of the fragility of our democratic rights: the internment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War or the imposition of the War Measures Act, to name a few. In our view, the policing at the G20 Summit in Toronto last summer will be remembered as one of them." Nathalie des Rosiers in the first half. And; Canadian freelance journalist, Jon Elmer lives in and reports from Occupied Palestine. While fallen off the front pages due to recent events in North Africa and Japan, tensions are high in Palestine-Israel and innocents are dying on both sides of this decades-long disaster. Jon Elmer 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.
