I was disappointed, that the GCTS was canceled. I was a frequent listener who did not always agree with Marty but was impressed with the topics discussed. His criticism of politicians/news media/etc, did not only include The NDP, Jenny Gerbasi, The Aspers, Gordon Sinclair and other so called leftists but also a so called right wingers as mayor Katz , Pm Harper, etc. As a centrist it was important to me to hear contrary opinions to the main stream media.
It seemed to me that listening to the program the students were very much involved in production, on-air commentary, independent thinking and participants in a learning environment.
I am a father of a grade 12 daughter who is applying for the Creative communications course at Red River next fall. I'm not sure if I will be supporting this choice anymore. She is an independent thinker , who like to criticize and challenge the status quo. I'm not sure if Red River is the place for her to express her opinions ,flourish and learn at this time.??
Good luck to Marty and the Red River students
p.s. I regret not ever calling the show and participating.
