Avi Lewis on Maher Arar, the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership, Canadian Healthcare, and Argentina's Worker Run

Avi Lewis is the host of a new international news analysis show on a mainstream Canadian television channel - CBC - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This unapologetically politically progressive daily show is called "On the Map." Avi is also an author and a documentary filmmaker. Earlier this summer Avi, along with award-winning journalist Naomi Klein, co-wrote the forward to a new book on the inside story of Argentina's remarkable movement to create worker-run factories.

"Sin Patron: Stories from Argentina's Worker Run Factories" was published by Haymarket Books in June. The book was compiled by Lavaca, an Argentine editorial and activist collective. Three years ago Avi and Naomi had worked together to produce "The Take" a documentary about the workers in Argentina's reclaimed spaces. Avi Lewis now joins us in our firehouse studio in New York.
