No big news or immitations of profound insights tonight. But I would like to take a moment to congradulate the folks who braved the Roncesvalles Polish Festival this weekend.
From Susan Mahoney:
A group of locked-out CBC workers set up an information table at the annual street fair on Roncesvalles Avenue in Toronto's Parkdale-High Park riding. We felt it was a very successful activity. We collected hundreds of signatures on postcards to the prime minister, and on a petition to be presented in the House. It was also very heartening to hear from so many listeners and viewers who really miss our services.
Also, because it was a community event, we were able to connect with our MP, Sarmite Bulte. Ms. Bulte is parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage. She has been very active making telephone calls to the Minister of Labour and members of the CBC board of directors, and says she will do what she can to get us back to work as soon as possible.
Also, for anyone who hasn't done so, snag the Barenaked Ladies live track from cbcunplugged.com - it's definitely something worth holding on to.
