Where is this guy? He promised that On The Map with Avi Lewis would return to the CBC/Newsworld on November and well, it’s November. Where’s the best damn International Affairs show? I’m looking for it on my PVRs menu, it’s not there. I went to the show’s website. No news. The promise of its return in November is gone. I can’t believe they renewed yet again The Hour with George Strombo… Strombolo…. fuck it, The Strombo and On The Map isn’t back yet.
So put out an APB on Avi Lewis. I’m almost done with his wife, Naomi Klein’s book, The Shock Doctrine: the Rise of Disaster Capitalism and I’m going to need some more intellectual left-leaning knife throwing and I’m gonna need it STAT! So what’s going on? Avi, dude, whats up?

I really cant believe they don’t even mention the reason why it is not being aired! This is really f’d up and the people of Canada should let it be known. Fight the power that is censoring international news.
Apparently coming back in early 2008…

I had the exact same question, its been bothering me for months, i am extremely unhappy about this.
Well he’s supposedly coming back in early 2008, as in this year. But I’ve seen no announcement.

The inability of the richest nation in the world to evacuate the poorest in the affected communities was highlighted to the world. What were also on display were the US’s inequalities, racism and broken political system.
Hosted by Avi Lewis, this week’s Frontline Focus: New Orleans looks at how these issues are playing out in the swing state of Louisiana in the middle of a dramatic presidential campaign.
Frontline USA is a new weekly programme taking an in-depth look at the real issues at stake in the US presidential election. Lewis will strip away the spin, and highlight real issues such as poverty, violence, race, health, and immigration.
The series will study the potential implications the US election will have for billions worldwide, getting the reactions from Baghdad to Beijing.
Lewis is one of Canada’s most controversial and eloquent media personalities, previously working as a documentary film-maker and hosting programmes on Canada’s CBC.
