Billy Lewis on G20, tar sands, and AIM http://news.ckdu.ca/archives/621

Aboriginal elder Billy Lewis is an active member of communities in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A self-described anarchist, Billy has decades of experience to draw on in struggles of self-determination. Billy was upset with a recent article published in the Chronicle-Herald newspaper that declared the majority of Canadians felt OK with the way the police acted during the G20 in Toronto, citing a public opinion poll.In part one of this in depth interview, CKDU talks to Billy about the police crackdown on the streets of Toronto last month, drawing links and connections to Indigenous struggles against the Tar Sands, in the American Indian Movement, and beyond.
