Meagan Perry
Meagan Perry is the rabble podcast network executive producer. She got into the media game by broadcasting over her school intercom from a cubbyhole under the stairs at Bonnyville Centralized High. More glamourous digs followed: a decade in campus/community radio offices in Edmonton and Guelph. Meagan eventually headed for CBC Radio, where she split a six-year stint between As It Happens and Definitely Not The Opera.
Nowadays, Meagan is a freelance writer, broadcaster, and communications shark living in the Yukon Territory. She continues to freelance for CBC radio and her writing has been featured in The New Zealand Herald, This Magazine, Herizons, Yukon News and National Post.
You can find her on the web and on the air at rabble.ca/rpn as the senior producer of the rabble podcast network and the host of rabble radio.
Meagan has served on the board of the Yukon Status of Women Council, and sometimes appears as a guest performer for the Riverdale Brownie Troupe in Whitehorse. They call her Music Owl.

In mourning, a call to action
As funeral guests gathered at the door of the Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto to mourn Jack Layton's passing and celebrate his life on Saturday, activists, First Nations leaders, campaigners, diplomats and politicians of all stripes and areas of Canada were counted among them.
From the moment the ceremony began there was no doubt that this was to be a very political event, not just because of its guest list, but because this ceremony, planned by Layton and his family as his illness progressed, a clear message was being sent to Canada: social justice is important, Canadians want it, and Canada is capable of achieving that goal.
