Back in 2017, Trudeau attended a trade summit with China, with high expectations. It coincided with Trump's new trade war with China, and Trudeau quietly emerged empty-handed. Nobody has asked any questions about what happened there. Starting from a situation of beneficial trade with China, Canada ended up arresting the CFO of Huawei. The early news reporting on Meng Wanzhou's arrest in Canada actually brooked some dissenting opinions. Some interviewees asked whether Canada is a vassal of the United States. Their heads have not been seen on TV since. The media has instead adopted the narrative that Canada is being bullied by China. But China did nothing to us, and it was Trump who forced Canada to knock down a pillar of our trade. Phil then addresses the issue of the "Two Michaels," one of whom was a "former diplomat" tasked with gathering information for the Canadian government on China. China keeps lists like every other country; the US & UK & Canada have detained plenty of people they deem foreign suspects, when the only problem is actually bad relations with a country. A diplomatic solution is available. China has been subjected to a campaign of abuse from Western elites. At Davos, George Soros, one of the patrons of the International Crisis Group, said that Xi Jinping was the most dangerous leader in the world. And Canada's Bob Rae wants in on the action. He's gearing up for another round of excoriating China at the UN. Canadians should look at our own appalling treatment of First Nations peoples before criticizing other countries. And someone in Parliament should ask if it's worth harming our own economic relations in order to score points against China on behalf of President Trump.

In the preceding TUC Radio program Dr. Christine Jones was first introduced. Here is the self-contained conclusion of her presentation to Fibershed. She is an internationally known ground-cover and soils ecologist. She works with landholders to increase biodiversity and biological activity. They sequester carbon, activate soil nutrient cycles, restore water balance, improve productivity and create new topsoil. Gabe Brown first started working alongside his father-in-law on the family farm in North Dakota. When a series of crop disasters put Brown and his wife, Shelly, in desperate financial straits, they started - from 1993 on - experimenting with a new type of farming: regenerative agriculture. Gabe Brown is now a pioneer of the soil-health movement and has been named one of the twenty-five most influential agricultural leaders in the United States. CREDITS: Thanks to Fibershed for the use of their podcast. Fibershed is based in San Geronimo in West Marin, California. They connect fiber producers, mainly sheep ranchers and those who are collecting and growing plants for natural dyes with those who spin and weave textiles. Their workshop with Dr. Christine Jones took place on June 20, 2019. The excerpts of a conversation with the regenerative farmer and Chelsea Green author Gabe Brown come from an interview by Kelly Brownell, Professor of Public Policy at Duke University in North Carolina. They spoke on January 9, 2020 about the “Desperate Need for Regenerative Agriculture”. The book by Gabe Brown is entitled Dirt to Soil, One Family’s Journey into Regenerative Agriculture.

This week on Sea Change Radio, we hear host Alex Wise's thoughts on the 2020 election as we enter the final week of the campaign. Then, we speak to Ian Urbina, a longtime investigative reporter for the New York Times whose latest book The Outlaw Ocean reveals many of the hidden costs of the seafood and shipping industries. After listening to Urbina discuss his book that took five years to research and led him around the globe through some of the deadliest waters on earth, it’ll make you realize that the reason something is impossibly cheap is because far too often it involves impossible human suffering.

Michael Kwag talks about the work of the Community-Based Research Centre.

The focus of today's show is the PCR test being used to test for Covid 19 - and how it was never designed to be used diagnostically, gives totally inaccurate results, and can be manipulated to give the desired results. Cheryl shares an excellent program done by Spiro Skouras at www.activistpost.com on this topic. The PCR "test" is what's driving the "pandemic" and creating many false "cases" and creating mass fear.

Remembering Matthew Shepard with a playlist of hope; “Pulp” revives classic “lesbian lit” for the young and older; Putin is still a homophobe, and Mugabe is still dead; the Pope drops a civil unions surprise, diversity wins in New Zealand elections, an acting mayor makes twin firsts in Anchorage, the U.K. will query queers in the next census, support for marriage equality hits an all-time high in the U.S., and more global LGBTQ news!

Latin waves host Sylvia Richardson speaks with author Yves Engler about the recent backlash against the film Planet of the Humans. “It should not be controversial to note that the corporate consumption juggernaut is destroying our ability to survive on this planet. From the agriculture industry raising animals to plastic manufacturers’ waste killing sea life to the auto industrial complex’s greenhouse gases, the examples of corporations wreaking ecological havoc are manifold” says Engler. The interview is about the political and personal co-creation of the world we live in, the struggles shaping our world and the inspiring struggles that brought us to this moment.

An eclectic collection of interviews and odd news designed to entertain

“Congo Week,” the annual series of forums, films, and conversation organized by Washington D.C.-based Friends of the Congo was, like so much else, a virtual event this year. It concluded today with the presentation of humanitarian awards to two Congolese groups defending human rights, and to Dr. Denis Mukwege, the world renowned gynecologist and Nobel Prize Winner who founded Panzi Hospital to treat women victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In his acceptance speech, Dr. Mukwege called for prosecution of the 617 war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide crimes documented in the UN Mapping Report on Human Rights Abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 1993 to 2003. There is no statute of limitations on any of these international crimes.
