Through Fire and Water: Canada Backs Israeli Apartheid
Feb. 21, 2014, 8:44 a.m.
In January, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper took part in a seven day visit of the Middle East which included four days in Israel. The visit reportedly cost Canadian taxpayers $239,000 and included an entourage of more than 200 people which included representatives from prominent Jewish organizations in Canada.
The Harper government has distinguished itself as the most ISRAEL friendly Canadian government in recent history, but is this stance significantly at odds with other governments historically? Are there economic as well as political and personal considerations underwriting Canada's cosy relationship with Israel? And what is behind the Harper government's efforts to conflate some criticisms of Israel as "anti-semitism."
This special broadcast of the Global Research NEws Hour examines the politics of Canada and Israel with Canadian Foreign Policy critic and author Yves Engler, Anti-war Activist and Press For Conversion Publisher Richard Sanders, and University of Guelph Emeritus Professor of Literary Studies and author Michael Keefer.
Out of the Woods - Show #202 - 2-20-14
Feb. 21, 2014, 6:49 a.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul
