This Week on GR
by C. L. Cook
 This week: Kim Ives is founder of, and contributing editor to Haiti Liberté, a
newspaper with offices in Haiti and New York, and has more than twenty years experience reporting with the paper, Haiti
Progrès, and hosts the weekly, WBAI New York radio program, 'Haiti: The
Struggle Continues.'
Kim also hosts Haitian TV's 'Kafou Verite,' produced by Haiti
Liberté, and is a filmmaker who has collaborated on many films
documenting human rights abuses, trade struggle, and conflicts between
the island's peasant farmers and corrupt State enterprises, and has
contributed to the books, 'Dangerous Crossroads,' 'The Haiti Files,' and
Haiti: A Slave Revolution.' His most recent is 'Tectonic Shifts.'
Kim Ives in the first half.
And; it's a case that could break new ground in the titanic battle to remove
Atlantic Salmon fish farms from the waters of the coast of B.C. Right
now, Don Staniford is being sued by Mainstream Canada, a subsidiary of
Cermaq, a fish farm trans-national whose single majority stock-holder is
the Norwegian government. Mainstream lawyers assert Staniford "disseminated and published defamatory and false statements about the company"on the Global Alliance Against Industrial
Aqauaculture, or GAAIA site. GAAIA's web server dropped the site under pressure,
but it has now been replaced by the less noxious(?) Salmonfarmingkills.com.
Don Staniford and B.C.'s "Salmon versus Goliath" 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 newz from the city's
streets and beyond. But first, Kim Ives and Wikileaks: The Haiti Files.
Welcome to GR, etc. On January 12th, 2010, the centre of Haiti was all but completely destroyed by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake. Worse though than that disaster is its ongoing aftermath. More than two years later, thousands have died due to disease and exposure, hundreds of thousands more remain essentially homeless, and the entire population lives under the thumb of a foreign occupation, the soldiers of which being responsible for a continuing litany of crimes, committed with effective impunity. And it seems, things in Haiti are going to get a lot worse for the people before getting better.

Kim Ives has also appeared on international news programs promoting the cause of Haiti's disenfranchised, and traveled Canada and the U.S delivering lectures on the situation there. Kim was at the University of Victoria presenting just such a lecture last week, detailing Wikileaks revelations made about the workings of Haiti with its foreign partners.
