Top 5 Reasons to Tune In: |
1. Tuff City Radio is an indie radio station that isn’t beholden to the corporate interests of the mainstream media and government. They conduct hard hitting investigative journalistic interviews with contrarian guests and they don’t pull any punches. Expect the gloves to come off with the questions asked and nothing to be left on the table. |
2. MLA Mike de Jong previously served as the Attorney General, Minister of Health, Minister of Finance, Minister of Public Safety & Solicitor General, Minister of Aboriginal Relations & Reconciliation, Minister of Labour & Citizen Services, and Minister of Forests – to say that this guy “knows where the bodies are buried” in government is an understatement to say the least! |
3. Ann Forry will be sharing her experiential perspective of what it was like to lose her 29-year old daughter Natasha after a ridiculous series of hospital visits failed to diagnose a staph infection, which ultimately killed her. Staph is a very treatable infection and Natasha’s death was entirely preventable. Ann was further shocked to discover that under BC’s antiquated wrongful death laws, Natasha’s life was worthless, and there was no legal recourse or accountability to the hospital that failed numerous times in delivering on their duty of care. |
4. Michael-James Pennie, from ‘In Their Name’ the campaign of The BC Wrongful Death Law Reform Society, stepped in as President in 2019. He’s met with over 20 MLAs, the Attorney General, and has grown this online movement from zero to engaging with over 57,000 British Columbians and collecting over 9,500 petition submissions to date. All this was undertaken as a volunteer with the Society’s shoestring budget that relies on individual donations from the public. |
5. You – find out how you can take action to help get this colonial-era discriminatory legislation modernized as all the other provinces, including the Yukon have already done. It will not happen unless each and every British Columbian makes it their personal responsibility to protect future generations and gets involved with this movement! |
