Sam Bulte gala night
p2p news / p2pnet: It’s all happening in Toronto tomorrow.
With only Canada days away from a federal election, the corporate entertainment industries are getting solidly behind their very own Canadian MP, Sam Bulte, to help her raise cash via a $250 admission gala event sponsored by:
- Canadian Recording Industry Association of America (CRIA) president Graham Henderson
- Canadian Motion Pictures Distributors Association (CMPDA) president Doug Frith
- Canadian Publishers Council (CPC) executive director Jackie Hushion
- Entertainment Software Alliance (ESA) executive director Danielle LaBoisserre
- DeGrassi producer Stephen Stohn
And the featured performer is none other than Henderson’s significant other, Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies fame.
As Online Rights Canada (ORC) sums it up, it’s, “copyright interests contributing thousands of dollars to a politician who sets policy for their industry”.
The place? The Underground at The Drake, 1150 Queen Street West, Toronto, two blocks east of Gladstone at Beaconsfield.
And by an amazing coincidence, ORC is holding its own meal which, it promises, will be considerably more balanced, on the same night.
The place? The Corner Cafe at The Drake, 1150 Queen Street West, Toronto, two blocks east of Gladstone at Beaconsfield.
If you’re in Canada and you can get there, be there. If you can’t, spread the word on- and offline. Make it a national event the mainstream media can’t ignore.
