Her Orange Sky Mountain, Her Road to Relating, Her Circle of Love
Her Orange Sky Mountain of Love 7:07 am
Her Orange Sky Mountain of Love 7:36 am
This morning at Starbucks, African singing with drum and feminine voices. There was a toddler girl running around with her soother in her mouth. She wore a white turtleneck sweater with pink and striped slacks. She was making a lot of commotion, shouting and whining, with a wide range of emotions. A little bit stormy I’d say. And then, Paul McCartney and Wings sang The Man Said.
The Whole Thing in Blue 6:05 am
The Whole Thing in Blue 6:11 am
The Whole Thing Just Green 6:21 am
There was a man wearing a sports shirt with the number 74 on the front. People were lined up in a row at their tables. All of them were reading and writing and quiet. Out of 18 people in the room there were 3 conversations. A woman arrived with her stroller that had a thick pink comfort blanket that protected her child from the cold. I was feeling well rested and lucid today.
Skyscape Downtown 6:31 am
Skyscape Downtown 6:41 am
There was no strain or tension in me. It was a high-energy morning in terms of my cycle. I felt positive, secure and quite free. Of course, my heart was set for my heartthrob and dreamgirl, Anna Dirksen. This morning she showed me the orange mountain love sky with the flares of her beauty so gleaming. The sun peeked through darkened clouds and thus my morning’s love light began.

Her Orange Sky Mountain of Love 7:52 am
After seeing that, I was affected. Anna showed me the tree of yellow close up, and she showed me her green circle of love. And I was in love with her from now on. Her Yin potency is very strong. She showed me the buildings that centered me up. And in that love there was peace and there was stirring. I burned for Anna Dirksen this morning. She is my one and only true love. My doors are wide open for her forever. More feminine African singing, with voices, guitar, and gentle drumming.
Old Port Promenade, Yellow Delight 7:57 am
One of the women with child got ready to leave. The woman wore a pink scarf with a tope coat. The woman’s friend with her little pink girl remained for a little while longer. The sky was so clear and so blue. From my point of view not a singular cloud. Quite surprising since yesterday was quite the opposite. The breeze was still strong and continuous. Bare branches from trees ever active. With rattling, waving,  shaking and wobbling.
Buildings Up 8:40 am
One tree was quite naked by now. The remnants of tattered ghosts were unrecognizable. Torn black and white sheets now were nearly strands. The skeleton’s head a mere blunt object without significance or any command. A woman that wore a white jacket, so finely designed with square stitching, sat at her table of drawings of fashionable clothing she worked on. She wore black slacks and a red zippered sweater with black and white lines down the sides.
Golden Yellow 9:52 am
Her hair was nearly white, fairly long and quite curly. And then she got ready to leave. Her white jacket was so finely crafted, with her white gloves to complete the effect. A woman sat with her cell phone. Her clothing looked very black. Her running shoes were pink and grey. And outside there was sunlight. It was bright and there was shadow, so well defined and direct, with such precision and virtuosity. Two elderly women sat together. One wore a grey knit sweater, her friend wore a yellow.
Her Green Circle of Love 10:10
A father arrived with his two girls. One girl a toddler, her sister a little bit older. Th older girl wore long pink fall coat. The younger girl wore a green jacket, but her sweater was quite vivid pink. She wore a bubble gum pink winter hat. Their father wore a brown shirt that had pale blue and faint pink lines across it. They went to the counter together. And they returned with their small cups, filled to the brim with white foam.
Place Viger, Road to Relating 2:27 pm
Place Viger, Road to Relating 3:07 pm
Place Viger, Road to Relating 4:07 pm
The girls ate their cream with white plastic spoons. They took mouthfuls of it. Beneath it there would be hot chocolate. There was no need for martial arts. A woman arrived wearing a pink green and brown scarf, with her black fall jacket and black gloves. A black man sat next to me. He spilt coffee; I gave him a napkin. He wore a black cap, black slacks and a black jackets. He wore a creamy white zipper sweater. He had two books on Senegal. Bob Dylan sang Hard Rain.
Her Black Potency Road to Relating 4:21 pm
Her Black Potency with Lights 4:56 pm
It was a gorgeous but cool autumn’s day. When I returned home from my writing, Anna showed me the road to relating, as it passed by Place Viger, until it became dark as Anna’s black potency. And she showed me soulmates centered, at the end of the news broadcast tonight. Anna Dirksen’s the queen of my dreams. I just had to say that right now. She is the love of my life. I wrote her name in my love diary. I want to preserve it well. How could I neglect it? Her name, her face and her frame? My life would never be the same. In my book of love Anna belongs, with her playground  of numbers and findings. This love comes from above, and in that I feel safe to be captured. With Anna’s love in my heart there is no trouble. With her in my heart the best things are doubled.
Soulmate Centered Night 6:23 pm
I need her more real in my life. All hindrance would stumble and crumble if she were my beloved wife. There could never be piles of mess, with Anna Dirksen as my heart’s true success. Free from barbed wire, locked fences and monsters, my heart throbs with joy because I love her. The beautiful and strong Anna Dirksen, we are soulmates; I am devoted to her. And I love to write her name here, to preserve for eternity. Let our souls chime closer together, with passion and sweet love, without restriction. With Anna in my heart there is nothing wrong. And so, today, I felt in peace, so clear, and in love.
Night Lights 8:12 pm
On CBC News at Six, Michel Godbout wore a black jacket with white pinstripes, a yellow shirt and a golden yellow tie, and he begins, “Police look for witnesses to a fatal hit and run in Laval. I’m Michel Godbout. This is CBC News at Six. Tonight: A sister mourns. Police say, Carole Nabhan was the victim of a hit and run. By a Thread: A special series on Montreal’s troubled garments trade. And: Emotional arithmetic –turning a Canadian novel into a movie.”
The first story, “Good evening. In Montreal tonight, a Pierrefonds woman is grieving for her sister. Carole Nabhan, the 34-year-old woman was killed in a hit and run yesterday in Laval. Tonight, police are trying to find the driver. Our Peter Johnson spent the day in Laval. And Peter, what can you tell us?”
Peter Johnson, wearing a black jacket, a pale grey shirt and a black tie, replies, “Well, Michel, police received several 9-11 calls about 4 o’clock early Sunday morning, about a woman, apparently lying in the middle of the road near the intersection of Notre Dame and (…) Goldblum in Chomedey. Now, police originally believed she had simply fallen and injured herself. But they later found that she had serious injuries –injuries consistent with being hit by a car. Carole Nabhan died of those injuries shortly after being taken to Sacré-Coeur Hospital.”
Peter Johnson begins, “Carole Nabhan survived war zones in Iraq and Lebanon before coming back to Quebec 4 months ago. She settled in Laval with her 10-year-old sun. Early Sunday morning she was struck and killed by a driver, who then fled the scene –her family is devastated.”
Roula Nabhan, Sister of Victim, explains, “This is like fiction for us. It has, you know, never, never, you know, been anything we imagined, you know. We lived in Lebanon in war, and this when we expected to die probably from a bomb or an accident on the street, probably –but not in Canada.”
Peter Johnson adds, “Investigators don’t have much to go on at the moment.”
Pierre Desautels, Laval Police, explains, “Actually, we do not possess any clues or any information about the accident. And that’s why, during the morning, our policemen, they went from door to door, to knock, to ask people, citizens, if they have seen anything wrong during the night.”
Peter Johnson informs, “Police in Laval say, this type of accident is actually quite rare. This is the first hit and run so far this year. But people who live in this neighbourhood say, this can be quite a dangerous intersection.”
A woman comments, “Nobody does a stop. But if they do their stop, it’s in and out, one second –that’s it.”
‘People drive fast through here,’ he says, ‘There’s a traffic light up the street, but people never stop at the corner here,’
Peter Johnson adds, “The Nabhan family is left to deal with the consequences of that.”
Roula Nabhan, Sister of Victim, explains, “It’s like I’m telling you, it’s something beyond our understanding.”
Back in studio, Peter Johnson continues, “Now Michel, police say that they haven’t actually found any witnesses to the accident –they don’t even know what kind of car they’re looking for. But they hope someone may come forward with more information. They say, often in these kinds of cases, people notice a neighbour or a friend’s car has a broken headlight or some other damage.”
Michel asks, “Alright now, Peter, as you said in your piece, we know Carole Nabhan was a mother. What about her family?”
Peter Johnson replies, “Well, she has a 10-year-old son indeed -and he’ll be taken care of by his father, who is in the Montreal area. The family is rather somewhat annoyed at Laval police. They say, the first they heard was that Carole was injured, but they didn’t hear back from police until late this afternoon. Michel?”
Michel closes, “Alright, Peter Johnson, live in the newsroom tonight. Thanks.” Peter replies, “You’re very welcome.”
The second story, “Public health officials in Thetford Mines are trying to track down dozens of people tonight, who were tested for diabetes last week. They say, the same needle was used to test many people. And so, they’re now asking 105 people to come in and be tested for hepatitis and HIV. Our Rosemary Barton has been following this story. Rosemary?”
Rosemary Barton, wearing a grey outfit with ruddy arms, replies, “Michel, this was actually a free diabetes screening test that was being offered at a grocery store at Thetford Mines. And it was a test that was being offered by a diabetes group, but was being run by two students that were being trained as nurse practitioners. There was very little supervision in the testing, and there was no medical supervision at all. So, public health officials are just starting to look at what happened.”
Michel asks, “Alright, so what do they know so far, Rosemary?”
Rosemary Barton replies, “Well, they think that the machine that was used to test blood sugar levels –the glucometer, was actually a machine that should be used for individual use at home –that’s the first problem. They also say, the second problem was with the machine itself –it had a kind of barrel with 6 needles inside, that normally you could turn to get a fresh needle for every patient. But the barrel wasn’t turning. So it means that a needle was being used for 6 patients, and that that mistake was repeated again and again –affecting 150 people.”
Michel asks, “Alright, so what are public health officials saying tonight?”
Rosemary Barton replies, “Well, they have managed to track down 100 people, by putting up signs at the grocery store, and putting out press releases. But they want to test all of these 150 people, first of all for hepatitis B and C. There is a chance these people have been infected with this, but the chance is very, very slim. The risk is still pleasant, so they want to test them for that. And if they do have it, they can of course vaccinate against hepatitis B. They also want to check for HIV –and on that front, officials say, the risk there is very, very low, but they still want to check as quickly as possible. And they expect to have the results very soon for that as well.”
Michel asks, “And are officials talking about how this happened in the first place?”
Rosemary Barton replies, “They are investigating that. And they say that probably they will need to put out some recommendations, to place some guidelines, whenever there are these kinds of screening tests being done, in order to make sure that there’s enough medical supervision. And they also want to talk to the manufacturer of this product, because, they say, they think the machine was defective.”
Michel closes, “Hmm, okay. Rosemary Barton in Quebec City tonight, thanks.” Rosemary replies, “You’re welcome.”
The third story, “And there is another food recall to tell you about tonight. This one involves canned crabmeat. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning people not to eat canned crabmeat made by Philips Foods. It says, it could be contaminated with botulism. This is a precautionary measure. The agency says, no one has become sick yet from the crabmeat.”
The fourth story, “Well, people opposed to changing Parc Avenue to Robert Bourassa Avenue are taking their fight to City Hall tonight. The CBC’s civic affairs reporter, Shawn Apel is covering this story for us. He joins me now, live. Shawn, let’s start off first of all though –what’s going to happen tonight?”
Shawn Apel, wearing a black jacket over a medium grey sweater over something black, replies, “Well, Michel, what is supposed to happen, is those people who are opposed to the name change are supposed to be here with some sort of demonstration. I say supposed to be, because the last time I checked just behind me, at the steps of City Hall, about 5 minutes ago, there were about 3 or 4 people here. But that’s what we here –that there’s supposed to be a demonstration tonight.”
Michel asks, “Okay, now, what about the options I hear that they have, if they do indeed show up. I mean, you know, Parc –keeping its name. It sounds like a done deal though.”
Shawn Apel replies, “Well, they have a few options. They say, they’re looking at their legal options. And that could include some sort of lawsuit. But even those people say, that it’s a little bit unclear exactly what they could do. Their preferred option right now, is to keep the pressure on. There’s been quite a bit of bad publicity, since this name change was announced. And it’s up to them to persuade more city councilors that this is a bad idea in the next few weeks.”
Michel asks, “Alright, and what about City Hall? When is it supposed to meet about this name change?”
Shawn Apel replies, “Well, they’re gonna present the idea tonight. They’re supposed to vote on it at the next city council meeting. That’s at the end of November –the 27th of November.”
Michel closes, “Alright, Shawn Apel, thanks for the update.” Shawn replies, “Okay.”
Michel continues, “Well, turning to a quick look at the weather now. As luck would have it, after a weekend weather write off, Monday was sunny and warm, of course. Still, Geeta, it was nice to see some sun today, after all the rain and wind on Saturday and Sunday.”
Geeta Nadkarni, wearing a black jacket with red gloves, and a black fall hat with a red rose on the side, and she replies, “It was indeed, Michel. It’s a beautiful evening at the moment. It’s dry, it’s 8 degrees. And the sun has gone down. But as you said, it was out in full force today. There is a little bit of a wind right now, and that will continue overnight. It’s those winds that caused so much havoc over parts of central and eastern Canada over the weekend. We had a tree go down on Papineau Boulevard even, here in Montreal. And that wasn’t even the worst of it. Rimouski, for example, saw winds of up to 90 km/h –which caused blackouts, fallen trees, -other kinds of property damage that people are still trying to restore. Hydro-Quebec says that 49,000 of its clients province-wide, lost power over the weekend. But most have had their service restored. Michel?”
Michel comments, “Alright. The full weather forecast coming up a little later. Thanks a lot, Geeta.” Geeta replies, “You’re welcome.”
The fifth story, Michel continues, “Well, briefly in other news tonight: Some 80 soldiers from the Valcartier military base near Quebec City are leaving this evening for a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Now, about 50 of the soldiers will provide security at the airport, and for the reconstruction effort in Kandahar province. They’ll be making sure the people rebuilding schools are safe. The remaining 30 or so soldiers will help train the Afghan army. There are already about 100 soldiers from Valcartier in Afghanistan.”
The sixth story, “The Trappist monks from Oka are selling their monastery and land to a local corporation. The site will reportedly be used to develop a $7 million tourism project. The Quebec government has chipped in $3 million for the project. And buyers –which include the local municipality, are also hoping for money from the federal government.”
The seventh story, “And the Quebec government is also chipping in $60 million this time, to build the John Molson School of Business at Concordia. The Molson family put another $10 million today, raising their contribution to $20 million. The new building will go up downtown, on what is now a vacant lot on the corner of Guy and de Maisonneuve. Construction is set to start in December, and should be completed in 3 years.”
And then, Anna Asimakopulos appears, wearing a red shirt outfit, and she begins, “I’m Anna Asimakopulos on the set of Emotional Arithmetic –the latest adaptation of a Canadian novel. And it stars some very well known international actors. I’ll tell you who, later on CBC News at Six.”
Michel continues, “And coming up next on CBC News at Six –By a Thread. It’s the start of our weeklong series on Montreal’s garment industry. Now, of course you know, it may be in trouble these days –but that wasn’t always the case. We’ll look back at the history of the garment trade in this city That’s coming up next.” And then, the first commercial break.
Upon returning, Ian Hanomansing appears, and he begins, “Tonight on Canada Now: What will Climate Change cost us? There are now some figures. We’ll have the details and reaction. And a report from Canada’s murder capital –Edmonton, with 3 people killed on the weekend. At 6:30, 7:00 in Newfoundland.”
And then, Michel returns, “Question: Where do our clothes come from? Well, these days, they come from everywhere –China, India, Mexico –Russia of course. Another question though is how do those imports affect jobs right here in Montreal? Well this week on By a Thread, we bring you stories about Montreal’s garment industry –the history, the changes, and the struggles. Andrew Chang is our reporter on this series.”
Andrew Chang begins, “When Rosita (…) Baskaran came to Canada from Sri Lanka, she didn’t speak English or French. But now, she’s one of almost 70,000 Quebecers working in one of the province’s biggest manufacturing sectors. This is a $10 billion industry in Canada. Every province in the country manufactures clothing, but more than half of those garments are made in Quebec. But creating such a massive industry didn’t happen overnight. It took more than 100 years.”
Michel Parent UQAM, explains, “It goes back even to the early 20th century –particularly when, you know, you had a kind of specialization in Canada through the provinces –Ontario getting steel and cars, and Quebec getting paper mills, garment. We started with the Jewish people had great skill, because, the Jewish immigrants brought their, you know, sewing skill and designing product for clothing. In the manufacturing sector, as far as Quebec was concerned, this is where you found the greatest concentration of jobs.”
Andrew Chang reports, “But the competition was fierce. Anyone in Montreal could open a business with little overhead, so companies had to cut corners –and wages and working conditions were the first to suffer.”
Michel Parent UQAM, explains, “And then, of course, the workers say, ‘I cannot improve alone, my conditions of work. I have to build up a solidarity with my coworkers,’ Then we get a union.”
Andrew Chang informs, “Decades later, the union’s work was paying off. Higher wages, more vacation time, better benefits –and a 39-hour work week. The 60’s were the economic heyday of the apparel industry in Montreal. Sales were up, and the strength of the union was reaching its climax. But by the 70’s, the fight to keep the industry booming began to change.”
Michel Parent UQAM, explains, “More and more, the unions and the managers –at that time, were aware that they had a common enemy. And the common enemy was not the union for management, the manager for the union, but it was the market.”
Andrew Chang reports, “And the market is being dominated by one country –China. In 1995, trade barriers and limits on imports began to come down. In the past 15 years, China has more than quadrupled its clothing market share here in Canada. It now represents about a third of Canada’s $10 billion apparel industry.”
‘Until now, no one has listened to your voices. I’m gonna fight for your job. But you need to fight for your jobs too,’
Andrew Chang reports, “Lina Aristeo works for Unite Here -a union lobbying the government to do something to protect jobs that are threatened by cheap labour.”
Lina Aristeo, UNITE HERE, explains, “It’s free trade, but it also needs to be fair trade. You know? People who are making this clothing that’s coming in, I hope they’re making them in good conditions –in good and decent working conditions. Unfortunately, they’re not.”
Andrew Chang informs, “From fighting their employers, to fighting the world, Quebecers in the apparel industry are now struggling to keep what jobs they have left. The average Chinese garment worker makes a little more than 25 cents an hour. Workers here simply can’t compete. In the last 4 years, Industry Canada estimates nearly 23,000 Canadian jobs have been lost –and that’s being felt the most here, in Quebec. On Friday, Cardinal Clothes shut its doors in Montreal to move production to China –about 80 people lost their jobs. And by Christmas, Gildan will cut more than 200 jobs from its local production.”
Lina Aristeo, UNITE HERE, explains, “Without checks or balances, the future of the apparel industry is unknown to me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look great.”
Andrew Chang informs, “This new fight, were time is the enemy, as many workers at Golden Brand Clothing fearing for their jobs too. Rosita Baskaran says, her job is secure at least until the New Year. But after that, she says anything could happen. In the past few years, about 400 jobs have been cut here. She’s never done any other kind of work, so with 3 children to support, rebuilding a career would be very difficult. But like many before here, after 17 years in the business, she may have no choice but to adapt. Andrew Chang, CBC News, Montreal.”
Michel continues, “And tomorrow, Andrew will bring us a story of a woman who’s worked in Montreal in the garment industry for 30 years. She’s now out of work, and looking for a job –and it’s proving to be a daunting task. That’s tomorrow night on By a Thread.”
“Alright, coming up after the break, Geeta Nadkarni has some wardrobe suggestions to match tomorrow’s weather forecast. You’re watching CBC News at Six.” And then, a live shot of soulmates centered in night-lights, and then on to the second commercial break.
And then, Alex Kovalev introduces the program in Russian.
Upon returning, Michel begins, “And that was the Canadiens right-winger and centre sometimes, Alex Kovalev. A great set up to announce the winner of our ticket giveaway. Now, you may remember, 2 tickets to tomorrow night’s Montreal Canadiens-Ottawa Senators game were up for grabs. And remember we asked you to write in or call us and say who you wanted to bring to the game and why. Well, we had a lot of great submissions. So, thanks a lot for that. And only one winner though, and that is Richard Archambault. And here’s what Richard wrote. He said,
‘I would like to take my almost eight months pregnant wonderful wife, Reina, and our wonderful baby boy that she is carrying, for his very first Montreal Canadiens hockey game. I’m sure that he would enjoy hearing the sounds, the cheers and the boos, and the ping! of a shot off the goal post.’
Michel continues, “Well, Richard, we’ll call you after the show to tell you how to claim your prize. And I quickly want to thank the runner up to this one. It’s Richard Dumont of Montreal. Now, Richard, you wrote such a touching essay about hockey and your father. But we did have a 50 words or less rule, so, you broke that one. So, thanks for your beautiful story, it was really nice to read.”
And then, the CBC News Weather Centre bells start to ring. Michel begins, “Alright, time now for your full weather forecast. And for that, we join Geeta Nadkarni, who’s enjoying a fairly nice evening outdoors. But, hey, Geeta, 24-hours ago was a heck of a different story, wasn’t it?”
Geeta Nadkarni, wearing a black jacket with red gloves, and a black fall hat with a red rose on the side, replies, “No kidding, Michel. And 24 hours from now, will also be a different story. It is pleasant at the moment it’s true. The sun is gone –and I do miss Daylight Savings already. But it’s 8 degrees, it’s dry, and there is a little bit of wind, but it’s a pleasant change –you said it, from the weekend. If we look at the satellite and radar readings, we’ll see not a lot of precipitation over the province. Those big, alarming blue splotches actually signal lower than usual precipitation, so they’re nothing to worry about. Quebec City did have a grey and somewhat rainy day today, but that will change for tomorrow .Oh no! Not for Halloween! I know, I know. But you know, you have to remember that this is traditional storm season. Spring and fall tend to be storm seasons, because the arctic is cooling much faster than usual, because of the shorter days. And unlike our region, which has stayed warm, so that makes a fairly large temperature differential over a small area of space –and that’s what’s bringing us our extreme weather. If we look at the temperature highs for tomorrow, we’ll see that it’s not a horridly cold day. But it is wet, so it’s not ideal to be traipsing around in a costume -a dry day for Gaspé and around Sept-Iles. So, you know, the good news about dealing with a capricious weather system like this, is that it does tend to change rather rapidly. So, although it will rain tomorrow, the sun will be out again. We’ll look at that 3-day forecast. Temperatures will dip overnight to freezing in Montreal tonight. So, those showers that you see tomorrow may be mixed with freezing rain. But the sun will come out for Wednesday, so enjoy it while you can, ‘cause the rest of the week does seem to look a little soggy. Honestly Michel, I have to tell you, even more than the dry weather, it’s that 1-hour of light that I miss. It’s already dark, and it now really feels like winter. So, the good news is that for 2007, we’re gonna be making this change 4 weeks later. Michel?” Michel comments, “Yeah, that’s true, that’s true. We’re gonna be in synch with the Americans on that one. Good point” Geeta adds, “I can’t wait.” Michel closes, “Yeah, indeed. Alright Geeta, thanks a lot.” Geeta replies, “Thank you.”
Michel continues, “Well, coming up next on The Scene tonight, Anna Asimakopulos reports from the set of Emotional Arithmetic. It’s a new movie that’s being shot in Montreal. We’ll have all the details next.” And then, a shot of the Olympic Stadium in night-lights, and then on to the third commercial break.
Upon returning, “On The Scene tonight, a Canadian novel is getting the star treatment. Emotional Arithmetic is based on a Matt Cohen novel. And a number of well known stars are in the process of shooting the film here in Montreal and in the Eastern Townships. Our Anna Asimakopulos takes us behind the scenes.”
Anna Asimakopulos begins, “The last time these 3 people saw each other was 40 years ago inside a concentration camp. Emotional Arithmetic is the story of their reunion. It’s also a story that has taken many years and many script rewrites to make it to this stage. Emotional Arithmetic is based on the novel by Matt Cohen -who died 7 years ago.”
‘He was very fond of this book. This was a very important book to him. It dealt with a lot of ideas that were very important to him.’
Anna Asimakopulos reports, “For Cohen’s wife, Patricia Aldana, turning Emotional Arithmetic into a film was a long wished for dream. A dream they shared with producer Anna Stratton.”
Anna Stratton, Co-Producer, explains, “I love it. And I love Matt, you know. I just, you know… It’s a wonderfully passionate human story. And that was the wonderful thing about Matt. His work was so human and rich and poignant, at the same time, it was very, very funny.”
Anna Asimakopulos reports, “All along, the producers had a dream cast in mind. Once they felt the script was ready, they sent it off to the actors they really wanted –Susan Sarandon, Max von Sydow, Gabriel Byrne, Christopher Plummer, Roy Dupis. And on the strength of the script, they got them.”
Gabriel Byrne, Actor, explains, “I think it’s an amazing story about survival, and memory, and loss, love, yearning. And it’s a super cast –unbelievable cast.”
Anna Asimakopulos adds, “A cast Aldana says, Matt Cohen would have approved of.”
‘I absolutely know, this would have been a very thrilling moment for him,’
Anna Asimakopulos informs, “Which is why making Emotional Arithmetic is such an emotional experience –on and off camera. The producers are hoping to have the film ready for next year’s Cannes Film Festival. Anna Asimakopulos, CBC News, Montreal.”
Michel continues, “And remember, CBC News at Six is on location for the next 4 Wednesdays. Now, last week we were at Champlain College in St-Lambert. Well, this week, we’re heading to St-Leonard. We’ll be coming to you live from the Leonardo da Vinci Centre. So come on by. Get a behind-the-scenes view of how our show’s put together. That’s Wednesday, CBC News at Six on location, in St-Leonard.”
“That was Montreal today. Canada Now is up next. For the CBC News at Six team, I’m Michel Godbout. We’ll see you tomorrow at 6:00.” And then, clips are shown from the stories on tonight’s newscast.”
And I’m Frank Remus in Montreal for this Krimson News diary-blog of loving and dreaming, and CBC News at Six re-reportage of the adverse, the blocking, the closed, the command, the confining, control, the corrupt, the counterbalance, the criminal, the dangerous, the defending, the difficult, the discouraging, fate, fighting, the frustrating, the guarded, the halting, the harassing, the hard, the hazardous, the heaviness, the hindering, the hurtful, the impossibility, the inferior, the misunderstood, the obeyed, the overloaded, the overwhelmed, the power, the practical, the preventing, the pushing, the real, the repressed, the restricting, the secure, the sensation function, the sickness, the sinful, the specifying, the strengthening, the stressful, the troubled, the unfortunate, the unpleasant, the unruly, the unsatisfactory, the vile and the wrong.
