Behind local produce: Temporary work permits leave working-poor migrants open to exploitation
Nov. 3, 2009, 12:01 a.m.
Ever wondered how a great portion of the local Canadian produce you eat is grown, picked and packaged? About who plants and harvests many of the trees and decorative plants we buy? Learn more about what often goes on behind the scenes of food and plant production and begin to see things from the perspective of the non-citizen migrant agricultural worker. Everyday throughout the growing and harvest seasons, non-citizen people put in day-long exhausting labour so that Canadians can eat at convenience and inexpensively. Petra (president, ENLACE Community Link), Eve and Julio (founders, the Even Better Foundation & of this event) talk about important issues surrounding working-poor migrants throughout Canada, including the recent raids on these people in southern Ontario and the exploitative working conditions that they face.

Here is what the environmental leaders wanted to discuss with the candidates in the special election being conducted in the 23rd Congressional District located in northern New York State. The candidates all chose not to participate in what we hoped would be a candidate debate focusing entirely on environmental protection. So we transformed our event into a forum. Government is so far from what we need to bring about those changes that will protect the Earth and restore the Earth. I certainly hope there is a way to take away the power of bad government and the bad corporate kings that totally control government before the bad among us ruin the Earth for all of us.

CKDU News: Oceans and Climate Change
Nov. 1, 2009, 4:55 p.m.
While the warming of the ocean is posing huge problems for marine life in the tropics, the North Atlantic ocean off Nova Scotia is less prone to warming waters due to an increase in cold water coming in from melting ice in the arctic.
But it turns out warmer waters are not the only thing that we have to cope with â massive increases in the carbon dioxide content of the ocean are causing it to become more acidic, posing big problems for marine life, including some pretty important animals at the very bottom of the ocean food chain.
Allyn Clarke is an oceanographer with the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. He came in to CKDU to explain how the ocean is being affected by climate change, including both the effects of warming waters and ocean acidification.
