Democracy in Action: Your FOOD

Nicole Shaw 

Nanaimo BC, Shaw Cable, August 18, 2011

Both Dirk Becker and Mayor Haime are being interviewed LIVE on Shaw Cable today. Would be great if someone could record it for us as we do not have cablevision. Our understanding is Dirk goes on live at 4pm... but as they want us there at 3:30, it could be that Mayor Haime is on at 3:30.... Thank you to whomever is able to record it!!

      Edna Chadwick I'll programme it to record on my TV but you would have to watch it on my TV which you're welcome to do. However Shaw cable usually runs those things ad nauseum for about a week, especially if it's as topical as your issue.

      Thanks Nicole Shaw - I pray Shaw Cable will put it on YouTube today, August 18, 2011 so that people all over the world can see it! I cannot think of anyone better able to represent us, who value our food rights, than those who are DOING it: Dirk Becker, Nicole Shaw and the over 1600 people who are fighting to: Protect Urban Agriculture, Save Compassion Farm...at http://www.facebook.com/groups/143703205679538/?id=216859141697277&notif_t=like
