This Week on GR
by C. L. Cook
 This week: You may remember the War in the Woods back in the 90's, where hundreds
of activists put their bodies on the line and were arrested to stop the
destruction of that gem on the west side of Vancouver Island. All's well
that ends well though, and the Clayoquot, armed with its U.N.
recognition is now saved for posterity; or is it?
Listen. Hear.
Glen Scott is
a Tofino-based writer and newly minted environmental activist working
to increase awareness of the threat of mining on Catface Mountain, in
the heart of the U.N.'s World Biosphere Reserve. Glen Scott in the first
half.
And; Kevin Neish is a long-time activist who has borne witness to elections
in South America, and served as a peace observer to protect threatened
populations there. He's also been to the West Bank to bear witness, with
the International Solidarity Movement, of living conditions suffered
under Israeli occupation in Palestine. He has been invited to
participate in the upcoming convoy, and joins us in the second half.
And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft
will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with the
goings on going on on Victoria's streets at the bottom of the hour.
Thank goodness Earth Day is finished. Now we can all go back to our day to day business comforted by the fact so many of us are concerned about the fate of the biosphere. It's the same kind of warm reassurance a United Nations' designation affords a threatened ecological reserve. Like the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Biosphere Reserve bestowed on Clayoquot Sound.

 And; Israel's stranglehold on Gaza will again be challenged by Caravanistas carrying food, medicines, and other goods prohibited entry next month. A multi-ship flotilla is planned, the hope being, Israel's Defence Forces will not be able to intimidate, ram, and threaten the sinking of such an armada.
