Last week saw the first sea-going leviathan berth here in humble
little Victoria. Yes, it's Cruise Season again! Massive ships, carrying
thousands of passengers and crew are due to settle, for a short time,
in our city commencing now until the Fall. And while these cities of
steel stay they will spew fumes continuously into our air, while
drawing untold thousands of gallons of water from our reserves. And,
what does it get us? Bruce Wallace is Research Coordinator for the
Vancouver Island Public Interest Research Group, and a contributing
author to the VIPIRG study of the local impacts of the cruise ship
industry, 'Ripple Effect,' Bruce Wallace in the first half.
And, if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything! War,
and rumours of it are all abounding us these last last terrible years.
But what does it mean? Shawn Hlookoff is a Canadian musician, carrying
his message of peace to those hailed as the reasons "we" fight, the
little children. Shawn will be in town next week, on tour to promote
the peace; Shawn Hlookoff in the second half.
And, Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring
us up to speed with all that's good to do in and around Victoria in the
coming week; but first, Bruce Wallace and finding shelter from the
tourista storm.
