This Week on GR
Over the past year, Gorilla Radio has featured the overblown, overbearing development at Bear Mountain, the clear-cut greeting your westward gaze at the Sooke Hills. Over the weekend, I had the chance to accompany British Columbia's newest mining magnate, Ingmar Lee to examine and assay his mineral claim to the entire reaches of Spaet Mountain, also known as Skirt Mountain, and in its desecrated form, Bear Mountain. Heading for them thar hills with Ingmar Lee and crew in the first half.
And; last month, to much fanfare, the Campbell government announced their 2008 budget. Remarkably, that budget contains North America's first carbon tax. The tax has been well received in some environmental quarters, but is this carbon tax all it pretends to be? Roger Annis is a trade unionist and social activist and member of Vancouver's Stopwar.ca coalition. He's looked into the details behind the Liberal's newly turned green leaf. Roger Annis in the second segment.
And; Janine Bandcroft will not join us this week to bring us up to speed with good goings on in and around Victoria, but may join us next week.

Welcome back to GR, etc. Last month, to much fanfare, the Campbell government announced their 2008 budget. Remarkably, that budget contains North America's first carbon tax. The tax has been well received in some environmental quarters, but is this carbon tax all it pretends to be? Roger Annis is a trade unionist and social activist and member of Vancouver's Stopwar.ca coalition. He's looked into the details behind the Liberal's newly turned green leaf.
"Welcome back to the show, Roger. Some prominent "green" voices have joined the choir, praising the Campbell government's devotion to the environment, late won perhaps, but are the Liberals the green prodigals some would colour them?"
