The Future of Food with Dr. Vandana Shiva
Scientist, author, and activist, Vandana Shiva presented the University of Victoria's President's Distinguished Lecture and Special Convocation address marking the school's 50th anniversary. A packed house gave the iconic food, environment, and agricultural justice activist repeated standing ovations, and were entertained in an extended Q. and A. session after her address.
This Week: "They were all vultures, and the rest of us were just food." So begins reporting investigator Greg Palast's latest recording of the everyday depravity that is the modern world, 'Vultures' Picnic: In Pursuit of Petroleum Pigs, Power Pirates, and High-Finance Carnivores.'
'Vultures' Picnic' joins Palast's previous best-sellers, 'The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,' and 'Armed Madhouse' to complete a chilling trilogy chronicling the corporate malfeasance and personal moral turpitude literally endangering the lives and well-being of every living creature on Earth.

And; down at this end of the oil pipeline, where you and me, and those who drive internal combustion engines need to go to get their fuel, the price of that fix has risen, not only in a steady progression, but by fits and spurts, sometimes yo-yoing by ten and twenty percent at points of purchase in a single day! It wasn't always this way; so, what's changed?
Paul Summerville and tracking the international economy at the gas pump in the second half.
And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will join us at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with some of the things going on on the streets of the city and beyond. But first, Greg Palast takes us on a Vultures' Picnic.

As Canada’s monetary and political independence sink slowly into history; as our leaders sell our sovereignty, erasing our most dearly held institutions; as Canadian soldiers depart for foreign wars, led by foreign masters, we may take a winter’s moment to ponder the legacy of our great acquiescence to corporate rule. Ontario has become a toxic dumping ground, B.C. the new haven for pipelines and offshore oil derricks, the North withering under climate change, and the Atlantic fished out. And, on the great prairie, our oceans of wheat are threatened by a spill more destructive than anything Exxon could muster. On the first half of today’s show, organic farmer and member of the Saskatchewan Organic Directorate, Marc Loiselle on the fight against genetic pollution in Canada’s heartland.
And, can we change our culture? No-one can doubt, our present course is disastrous for the environment, human health, and holds no hope of achieving either justice or peace. But what to do?
