This week: Canadian mining companies are making a killing in Latin America; at least that is the concern of indigenous activists in Mexico, El Salvador, and seemingly everywhere else the Maple leaf flagged mining corporations show up. I recently spoke here with Canadian freelance journalist Dawn Paley about her friend, Bernardo Vásquez Sánchez, a Zapotec community activist in San José Progreso, Oaxaca, Mexico, gunned down with his cousin, Rosalinda Dionicio Sánchez, and brother Andres Vásquez Sánchez.
Bernardo was fighting the Canadian concern, Fortuna Silver over its plans in San José. As it happens, Victoria-based activist Terry Wolfwood was scheduled to meet with Bernardo Vásquez Sánchez, but arrived too late.
Wolfwood is Director, and a founding member, of the Barnard-Boecker Centre Foundation. The BBCF.ca site says it, quote; "[O]rganizes, works for and supports action, education and creativity for peace, social justice, human rights, and women’s rights."

And; Last week I spoke with Tom Woodley of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East. CJPME sponsored a Canada-wide tour by renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé that ended here in Victoria Saturday. Dr. Pappé, is a history and political science professor at the University of Exeter’s Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies (UK), and is too currently Director of Europe’s first Centre for Palestine Studies, housed within the Institute. He is author of, among many others, the book, 'The Ethnic Cleansing of the Palestinians.' The theme of his tour was, “The False Paradigm of Peace: Revisiting the Palestine Question.”

And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us at the bottom of the hour to bring us news from the city's streetz and beyond. But first, Terry Wolfwood and mining justice for communities effected by the Canadian mining industry.

Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) is pleased to announce that it is hosting a Canadian tour by renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé from April 30 to May 5.
Dr. Pappé, a professor at the University of Exeter’s Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies (UK), is currently Director of Europe’s first Centre for Palestine Studies, housed within the Institute.
He is a specialist in 20th Century ethno-politics and the author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and nine other books.
The tour, entitled “The False Paradigm of Peace: Revisiting the Palestine Question,” will offer Canadians a fresh perspective on the prerequisites for a durable, just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Dr. Pappé will discuss the reasons behind the decades of failed negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, and what the future has in hold for both peoples.
On Saturday I interviewed Ilan on "Redeye" and you can find that in Vancouver Cooperative Radio archives:

Tom Woodley is the President of the CJPME, and joins us in the first half.
And; According to the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade, or COAT, there are more than 16 million Canadians sharing responsibility for Israeli atrocities because we have been, quote: "[F]orced to invest [...] retirement savings in corporations with varying degrees of complicity in Israel’s system of apartheid, its occupation of Palestinian lands, its military/"security" industries, and its aerial bombardments of Lebanon (2006) and Gaza (2008-2009)." COAT is behind a campaign to get the CPP and its nebulous investment arm, the CPP Investment Board, to cease war profiteering and divest from arms and "security" companies all together.
Richard Sanders is founder and coordinator of COAT and serves as editor to its publication Press for Conversion. Richard Sanders and stripping the CPP's war portfolio in the second half.
