This week: Stephen Harper, the twisted progeny of Trickle Down governance theory is now determined to follow the lead of his Republican brethren in America and make of this Canada a slave state, replete with corporate prisons, rolling over the rim with marijuana inmates and three strike, mandatory minimum sentence losers. One of the more troubling events evidencing this is the Conservative effort to destroy the prison farm programs, a signally successful model of rehabilitory incarceration.
Dianne Dowling is with the Save Our Prison Farms coalition, and she’s a member of the National Farmers Union. Dianne Dowling in the first half.

Radio pyrates, snubbing the edicts of broadcasting with Marian van der Zon in the second half.
And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us at the bottom of the hour to preview the newz from our city’s streetz you may or may not hear from the corporate stream in the coming weeks. But first, Dianne Dowling and saving the nation’s prison farms.
