On this edition of 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Today in BC91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™, host Peter McCully chats with two authors, Grant Lawrence and Bob Williams on the second edition of the 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Made in BC Book Club91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™.
In the first segment of 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Today in BC91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™, Grant Lawrence, CBC Broadcaster and award-winning author offers more Desolation Sound adventures in his long-awaited sequel to 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Adventures in Solitude,91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™ with stories of the 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Cougar Lady91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™, 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Bernard the German91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™ and 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Russell the Hermit91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™.
91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Russell ended up in a homemade shack in Desolation Sound beyond any road or any semblance of electricity or plumbing. Or anything. He was a full-blown, real-life hermit that lived in a shack for 10 years and really changed my life. He opened my up my mind to rock and roll music and to alternative writing and books that I had never heard of, or writers that I had never heard of. And it was just a real cultural awakening for me,91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™ says Lawrence.
Bob Williams is a former British Columbia cabinet minister who played a key role in establishing the Agricultural Land Reserve and the Insurance corporation of British Columbia during B.C.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s first NDP government in the 1970s. 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜Using Power Well91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™ is a biography, by Bob Williams, with Benjamin Isitt and Thomas Bevan.
91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜I see a naivety around decisions being made particularly on housing,91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™ says Williams. 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜The fact that the housing problem is so serious in this province, especially here in the lower mainland, given what we91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™re doing now, it91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s almost unachievable. Because the rush to the province from the rest of Canada and internationally is so substantial. In the lower mainland we have a limited capacity to accommodate them. So, we have to rethink the way we settle people in B.C. That91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s exciting actually, but it isn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t happening even with my government right now91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™.
