This week: Across North Africa and throughout the Middle East, the long suffering citizens of dictatorships and authoritarian monarchies are standing in defiance, willing so far to brave impossible odds and the prospect of death at the hand of their tyrants for a better life for themselves today, and the chance of an egalitarian society in the future. For now, they are buoyed by the wind of change that has seen the heads of the military regimes in Tunisia and Egypt roll, but can the momentum of the tempest be ridden to real reform? Jon Elmer is a Canadian photo-journalist living in, and reporting from Occupied Palestine. Jon is this program's most often appearing guest and the first we go to for news in the region. Jon Elmer in the first half. And; Ingmar Lee is a long-time B.C. environmental defender, whose various campaigns have highlighted the industrial-scale destruction of the province's forests and waterways, the extirpation of native species dependent on those forests and rivers, the role transnational corporations have played in designing the environmental policies of both parties in the province, and the prospects of the British Columbia wilderness becoming a super highway for Asia-bound Tar Sands bitumen. Ingmar Lee and the chance of change for the better for B.C.'s wild legacy in the second half.
