NO BORDERS MEDIA News Roundup Podcast #1 (Prison Strike, Trump Resistance, Opposing the Far-Right, and more!) with El Jones (Halifax), Jaggi Singh (Montreal), Syed Hussan (Toronto) & Harjap Grewal (Vancouver) ----- Earlier today - September 9, 2018 - El Jones from Halifax, Jaggi Singh from Montreal, Syed Hussan from Toronto, and Harjap Grewal from Vancouver, got together by phone to talk about the news for the first-ever No Borders Media News Round-up Podcast. Some of the topics covered include the Nationwide Prison Strike, Trump Resistance, and opposing the racist far-right. Our conversation included blocking the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, a victory by disabled rights activists in Nova Scotia, the current Quebec elections, and resisting the Ford government in Ontario. We talked about confronting various racists across the Canadian state, from Proud Boys in Halifax to Pegida in Toronto, La Meute in Quebec to Soliders of Odin in Edmonton and Nanaimo. Internationally, we reference elections in Brazil and Sweden, as well as grassroots organizing by queer communities in India and elsewhere in former British colonies. Our conversational detours include Colin Kaepernick and Nike, the "woke industrial complex", and locking the doors of the McCain funeral to start a long overdue war crimes tribunal. This is the first of what will (hopefully) be weekly news round-ups by No Borders Media, with a rotating group of panelists.

No Borders Media presents an exclusive interview with Indigenous warrior Kanahus Manuel, in the aftermath of the recent Canada Federal Court of Appeal decision to quash approval of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline project. The pipeline, which would move tar sands crude and refined oil from Alberta to the British Columbia Coast, has been actively opposed by diverse groups, and by varied means, including civil disobedience and direct action. The heart of the resistance has been Indigenous nations in the path of the proposed pipeline. Kanahus is active with both the Secwepemc Women Warriors and the Tiny House Warriors in resisting the Trans Mountain pipeline. For many years, she has organized against corporate exploitation of the lands of her people, including the Sun Peaks ski resort, Imperial Metals, as well as the Mount Polley mine. In this exclusive interview, the first one she has given since the Federal Court of Appeal decision, Kanahus both responds to the recent legal victory against the pipeline, and provides context and analysis about ongoing grassroots resistance to destructive resource extraction projections. She speaks to us from beside the Blue River, on the path of the proposed pipeline. This interview was recorded on September 1, 2018 by Jaggi Singh for No Borders Media. ----- No Borders Media (Toronto/Montreal) fb: www.facebook.com/NoBordersMediaNetwork soundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/NoBordersMedia twitter: https://twitter.com/NoBordersMedia contact: NoBordersMediaNetwork@gmail.com

Former CBC and BBC Radio Host Mary Ambrose sits down for a conversation with Jeff Rubin, a senior fellow with CIGI's Global Economy Program, to talk about the Liberal Government's recent pipeline decisions which delighted some and angered others. The most controversial approval is the $6.8-billion Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain project which would add 980 kilometres of new pipeline between Edmonton, AB. and Burnaby, B.C. Importantly, it would open up a route to the Pacific for Alberta's oilsands.
