November 29th Show

Interview with Sharon Sanchez from the Women's Coordinating Committee Chile-Canada, which is organizing the event '2010: year of resistance by our Indigenous Nations' Saturday, Dec. 6, 7 pm in the Birge Carnegie Reading Room, 95 Charles St. W. (Just east of Museum Station, UofT Campus). Contact them at: wccc_98hotmail.com.

Discussed the rally on Monday Nov 23 @ Noon and the situation at Streat Health, where longtime anti-poverty activist Gaetan Heroux is being transferred to Scarborough after supporting the unionizing drive. Supporters ask 'What's Up with Street Health?', and note the loss of staff, apparent union busting (18 months and still no contract for workers), loss of services (i.e. Hep C program & ID services if Gaetan is moved) and evicting Gaetan. We played a podcast interview of Katherine Hardill, Getean Heroux and John Clark (by John Bonnar). There is a community forum on Wednesday, Dec. 9th 6-8 pm, John Innes Community Center, (Nothwest corner of Queen and Sherbourne) and listeners can contact friendsofstreethealth@gmail.com. Friends of Street Health is an ad hoc coalition of former staff and other allies who are fighting for a return of Street Health's integrity and former reputation as a progressive organization.
