Endangered Species Act in Danger, Canadian Espionage in Brazil & RISE Auditions

Wednesday, October 9th:

York Community Report: Christian Deo speaks to York University alumni Anna Baggio, who is the director of conservation at Wildlands League. The group is suing the Ontario government for scrapping the Endangered Species Act which they say exposes over 155 threatened/endangered species to further precariousness thanks to human development. Visit them at: http://www.wildlandsleague.org/

Feature Interview: Is Canada really the peace keeping, ultraistic champion of human rights it is so widely considered? In light of the recent publication of Canadian Espionage in Brazil, our feature report today takes a look at how covert Canadian foreign policy directly contradicts the image of Canadians as do-gooders around the world. Author and activist Yves Engler speaks to Christian Deo for that report.

Independent Arts Report: Beat Director Hailee Ingleton covers the auditions for the upcoming Edutainment Concert put on by RISE for a sneak peek of performances and an interview with founder Randel Adjei. Visit RISE at: http://risetoronto.tumblr.com/
