WISCONSIN: LABOR MOVEMENT SUCCUMBS TO ELECTORAL POLITICS
The recent failure of a gubernatorial recall vote against Wisconsin governor Scott Walker has emboldened well-funded conservatives, and dismayed liberal democrats who miscalculated that an election without significant candidate differences could substitute for radical union organizing.
ARUN GUPTA, cofounder of the Occupy Wall Street Journal and The Indypendent [ indypendent.org and occupyusatoday.org ] discusses the Wisconsin recall as a Democratic party usurpation of a potential organized labor revolt: "The Wisconsin recall election is a snapshot of an organized, energized right swimming in cash, a Democratic Party in disarray, a labor movement sliding toward oblivion and an Obama campaign in deep trouble.";

#589 - Mad, Bad or Dangerously Frank?
June 11, 2012, 9:10 p.m.
We feature the second non-Arab American to be indicted under the Patriot Act, CIA insider Susan Lindauer. Is she really, as two US judges decided, mentally unfit to stand trial? Is this related to her being locked up and threatened with indefinite detention without trial? Her perspective in the run up to Sep 11th is a new one to this show, though in implicating the Cheney/Rumsfeld clique, is fairly compatible with other voices that we have heard on the show, and with our second guest, journalist and author, Ian Henshall.

With the recent policy debates over multiculturalism and integration, it is easy to forget the average Canadian trying to make sense of their identity in their daily lives. Many turn to the hyphen as a way of explaining who they are, becoming Irish-Canadians, Greek-Canadians, Lebanese-Canadians. Others are still seeking something else. On today's program, we host a panel of hyphenated Haligonians who talk about the joys and pitfalls of holding two passports, two languages and two cultures. We bring you a report from one of Halifax's first multicultural festivals of the year, the Lebanese Cedar festival, and we feature an exclusive interview with writer Neil Bissoondath, whose 1994 book Selling Illusions: the Cult of Multiculturalism in Canada, helped kick off the debate over the hyphenated Canadian.
