Alex Rose

Alex Rose was in Ottawa May 27 to promote Who Killed the Grand Banks?. Not a good title, it is about more than the cod, which is why his message should be getting out there. A ½ hour scheduled interview with Hill Times actually lasted almost 1 hour.
CPAC, again, did a great interview. What are we going to do without Ken Rockburn?
Alex Rose was wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable; it was a real pleasure to work with him. The issues he writes about should gain more exposure, as I suspect they will. It is unnerving to think about the destruction of our natural resources; even more unnerving to discover that most people really don't care so long as they can buy shrimp (regardless of its origin) and battered cod at Loblaws. The disconnect is amazing. I am pleased to report that we have been exchanging information and he appears to be getting more coverage on the west coast.
Oh yeah, sonnet 94...one of the discussions one can get into...lots of fun!
