Peace in our time

Tonight, on Public Eye Radio, Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Keith Martin joins us to talk about foreign affairs and the man he'll be supporting in the federal Liberal leadership race. Assembly of First Nations national chief Phil Fontaine will be discussing his bid to keep that job. And Saint Catharine's realtor Jim Fannon will tell us why he wants to be the leader of the federal Greens. Also on the show: the Liberal's former British Columbia president Billy Cunningham and Richmond MP Raymond Chan. And Saul Arbess will be talking about an initiative to convince the Canadian government to establish a department of peace. You can listen to Public Eye Radio outside of Victoria by logging into CFAX 1070 between 6:00 and 9:00.

A Department of Peace?

Give it a rest.

Such a thing is a bit 1970's.

It does sound like something the Liberals would do, eh? Spending on a department that wouldn't accomplish anything tangible for the country except sending tax dollars into another bureaucracy.

Peace only works if there is co-operation from both entities in the conflict at hand.

Billy Cunningham? I thought it was Bill Cunningham, but whatever the proper name, I am surprised he's still interested in playing full-time politics. It's pretty clear that his vote in 2006 was down from what it was in 2004, and one might think he would be ready for a different vocation.
