Out of the Zoo - CFUV Cancels Gorilla Radio
by Chris Cook
October 8th, 2022
Greetings to past guests and current listeners of the show.
This past week I was informed by the station Gorilla Radio, a staple on the station since 1999, would be cancelled, and myself booted from the Radio Club "effective immediately".
The action follows the broadcast of a typically "boundary pushing and groundbreaking media" program challenging the recently released Lancet Commission's composition, and its findings regarding the proximal origins of Covid-19.
The purpose of this missive today is to inform and invite those concerned about the silencing of not only this program, but more the darkening media environment both online and over the air, to push back against CFUV's rash and unjust cancellation of the show. I've been informed the deadline to challenge this decision is October 21st. I've sought legal advice and fully intend to do just that.
In the meantime, expressions of support and concern can be addressed to those who will hear my appeal to "both the chair and secretary of the board, Jordan Koe and Samantha Knudson, cfuvboardchair@uvic.ca and cfuvboardsecretary@uvic.ca [respectively]", (and copied to me at the below address).
Though I may be expelled from the Garden, they are not Gods and Gorilla Radio abides yet; airing new programming at http://gorilla-radio.com/ and at the new https://gradio.substack.com/ page.
If program # 1,194 proves the last of this epic effort, thanks to all of you who have collaborated and graciously appeared on the show across the decades, and to all who have provided their support and a willing ear.
In solidarity,
Chris Cook

GETTR does not censor my posts, although the bias is far different than I would like for a social media site. However, I was bounced from Twitter. A lot of us in the left dissident community have been. You know some of them, such as Kim Goldberg from Nanaimo.
Chris,
Found out about this from a post on Mickey Z's substack.
Do you have a link to the show that resulted in your expulsion from the garden? I will post a link on my GETTR account (forced to move to the right by Twitter) and also send to other dissident colleagues.
