Every year, a group of stalwarts stand at the statue, 'Spirit of the Republic' to honour the memory of those Canadians who faced the Fascist threat in Spain. It is in the spirit of peace and hope for the end of militarism the commemorators brave the chill winds of November and give speeches remembering their, and their family's experiences of war.
This week on GR: David Barsamian is the multi-award winning director of Alternative Radio, which airs weekly across North America and beyond, (including right here at CFUV every Wednesday afternoon at 1:00pm pacific time) and remains an entirely independent voice of reason and humanity, an island of sanity in a toss'd sea of shlock jocks, puerile morning "mad men," and aspiring dime store mass media demagogues. He is co-author of numerous books, his collaborators some of the foremost thinkers and social justice activists of our time; like: Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Arundhati Roy, Edward Said, Tariq Ali, and more. His latest books are 'What We Say Goes,' and Targeting Iran.'
