Her Black Potency Centers My Heart, in Her Green Circle of Love
Â
Pink in Her Green Garden of Love 6:23 am
This morning, I arrived at Starbucks 15 minutes early. There were 7 people in the room, including myself. Each of them was alone, quietly reading or writing. There were 6 men and 1 woman. 4 of us wore something grey. One wore something dark green, and one wore something white. A man at the window seat wore navy blue.
Soulmates Downtown Blue 6:11 am
It was quite dark and overcast out. It got darker since I arrived. I brought my horsy umbrella. And then a woman arrived. She wore black slacks and a black turtleneck sweater, along with a pumpkin face tie. It was a dress tie with orange and smiling pumpkin faces. She also wore an orange wristwatch.
Pink Lights in Her Green Garden of Love 6:34 am
Her friend also wore black. Her black slacks had two yellow lines going down the leg. On her sleeve, a floral pattern in yellow and pink, and there was some writing on there. It was unusual. The woman with the pumpkin tie discussed the making of rings. She explained the stone settings. She showed a ring as an example. And she mentioned a woman named Anne, who may have been the ring maker, and the kind of place where she lived.
Black, White, Grey 6:36 am
And then, it began to rain. My left shoulder started to ache. But I was in love with Anna. And with that love, I endure anything. A woman arrived wearing a black suede jacket with a very long vivid pink scarf. Latin music was on the speakers, with piano and percussion. And I simply sat and did nothing, but felt the sense of alignment that came into play with insistence.
Her Yellow Trees of Love 7:00 am
I felt it quite clearly physically. It determined what and when I wrote. Perhaps it was merely the music that was affecting my content and motion? This morning Anna showed me downtown in blue, and one picture had an odd name. Anna showed me the pink lights, in her garden of love –and that was so beautiful. She showed me the black and white dwelling and the trees by the side of the mountain. I wasn’t sure where exactly where, or the name of the building. But the trees lit up with bright yellow. And I was in love with her forever.
Soulmates Centered, Yellow Sky 8:30 am
Anna showed me soulmates and the side of the mountain, and I was with her at once. The sky did become faintly yellow. Anna showed me her green circle of love. And my love for her was in green. Anna showed me Place Viger and the road to relating until dark. She showed me her green circle of love, with pink lights in the evening rain. Anna showed me the clock tower in the depth of her black potency, with red glowing. And I was in love. A woman arrived wearing a green coat. Her long sleeved top was exactly the same shade of green. She wore a red vest to go along with it.
Her Green Circle of Love 8 :57 am
A woman arrived on her cell phone. She wore a black leather jacket, over a pale pink cotton top. She sat with the woman in black that still wore her vivid pink scarf. They were having a meeting. And then, another woman arrived, wearing a vivid green T-shirt, the very same shade as the green the woman in green was wearing.
Road to Relating, School Bus 2:34 pm
Outside it was soupy grey, overcast. Definition and contrast was flat. Depth of field was in the lack. A woman arrived with her pink stroller with black. The man wearing a white sweater got up to greet her. They admired her baby together. The woman and pink stroller, with her baby along with pink baby bag sat in the same corner as the other two women in pink.
Her Black Potency Relating 3:34 pm
And so, there was a pink pocket now in the room. And then, a woman with child arrived. The woman wore a long pink coat. Her little girl wore pink too. The little girl squealed to her mother, as they waited in line. A man arrived wearing a brown coat, the same shade as his golden brown muffin. He carried a pink umbrella. He dropped it on the floor beside him.
Her Green Circle of Love 3:57 pm
Her Green Circle of Love 4:11 pm
A woman arrived wearing black slacks, a black coat and a pink scarf that had long wispy strands at the end. She spoke to the green coated woman. The two women went out together. The little girl wore a pink jacket, along with a pink and white hat. She also wore a little pink skirt. Her mother in pink and her daughter made their way out the door.
Her Green Circle of Love 4:25 pm
Her Black Potency Centers My Heart 4:56 pm
And then, opera came on, with the male singer’s deep passionate voice. I had no anxiety in me. Long gone were the days with the rats. Long gone were days of helplessness. My heart in love had been recast for Anna Dirksen romance. This is no accident. This is not a mishap. Anna’s good love is stealing my burning heart for hugging and kissing.
Her Black Potency in Time 5:11
Her love breaks through my lost things, releasing me from my old damage. With Anna my love, I can manage. My heart has removed its dark bandage. My sickness and scars completely vanished. My heart now sings a new love song. In Anna Dirksen’s loving arms is where I crave to belong. She’s my soulmate for sure and for truly. Her Yin potency blackness brings me new light. Her love restores my love sight from deep blindness. With gladness, I love Anna Dirksen’s deep passion and kindness. And tonight, in the background the lovers were kissing. I believe they were there yesterday. And I longed to kiss Anna that way.
The Whole Thing at Night 6:07 pm
On CBC News at Six, Michel Godbout wore a black jacket with grey pinstripes, a pale purple shirt and a black tie with white crosshatched bands that crisscrossed to make a third tone. And Michel begins, “The save Parc Avenue movement gains an important ally. I’m Michel Godbout. This is CBC News at Six. Tonight: Fotopulos flip-flop. The borough mayor says, she’ll vote against changing the name of Parc Avenue. By a Thread: Lucy Sousa is a long-time garment worker who’s looking for work. And: Hail Halloween –the economic impact is so big it’s almost scary.”
The first story, “Good evening. In Montreal tonight, the campaign to save Parc Avenue got a big boost from Helen Fotopulos of all people. The borough mayor of Plateau-Mont-Royal finally spoke on the issue. And it turns out she’s now going to vote against changing Parc Avenue to Robert Bourassa Avenue. Our Amanda Pfeffer explains.”
Amanda Pfeffer begins, “She’d become the most elusive borough mayor in the city after supporting the unpopular name change of Parc Avenue. Today, following an emergency meeting, Helen Fotopulos publicly announced she changed her mind.”
Helen Fotopulos, Plateau-Mont-Royal Borough Mayor, explains, “I think we misread the situation. And when you misread the situation, at some point you have to admit that there was a mistake that was made. And a vote not just with logic and reason, but also a bit with the heart. And this is one where the heart’s telling me…” (She clacks in the negative)
Amanda Pfeffer reports, “Misread the reaction from thousands of her own constituents who have publicly protested –and more importantly, denounced her support of Gérald Tremblay’s Executive Committee, and its decision to bring a motion to council to change Parc Avenue and Blurey Street to Robert Bourassa Avenue. Last night, the motion tabled, with protestors lining up to remind councillors of the political stakes. Then the mayor opened the door for councilors, and said he’d allow them to vote freely on the issue, on November 27th. Then today, high-profile councilors, such as Michel Prescott, began going public with their decision.”
Michel Prescott, City Councillor, explains, “Attachment that people have for this area of Montreal for Mont Royal, Parc-Mont Royal, for the Parc Avenue. I think that unfortunately, the Executive Committee seems to have forgotten that when they took a decision. I’m sure they were full of good faith. And so, we’ll see now if it’s possible to convince our colleague to –not to adopt the motion.”
Amanda Pfeffer adds, “But the convincing won’t be easy.”
Marvin Rotrand, City Councillor, explains, “If it comes to just a vote in Council, I’m sure it’s gonna pass. And partially, because a lot of my Francophone colleagues seem to think it’s an Anglophone issue.”
Warren Allmand, City Councillor, explains, “What we have to say to them is, ‘Look at –if it can be done here without consultation, it may be done on other matters relating to your borough, your area. And so, it’s important to take a stand now.”
‘There’s still work out there to be done,’
Amanda Pfeffer reports, “Whether or not Helen Fotopulos will be able to influence her colleagues is unclear. What is clear is that her decision today has eased the political attack against her. As for the constituents who began this campaign, the reaction to Fotopulos’ change of heart comes with mixed feelings.”
Chris Karidogiannis, SOS Park Avenue, explains, “Too little too late. I think a lot of people are still a little mad at the borough mayor and the Council. But we’ll take the support.”
Amanda Pfeffer closes, “And so, the campaign to save Parc Avenue has at minimum gained steam, with the help of some new well-placed political friends onboard. Amanda Pfeffer, CBC News, Montreal.”
The second story, “And Montreal City Council approved the expansion of Percival Molson Stadium. The Montreal Alouettes have been pushing to make the stadium bigger. Well, the new plan calls for more seats, and a giant screen. Council attached a condition though, that all trees and bushes cut down for the expansion be replaced. But people opposed to the plan can still force a referendum on the issue. That’s if 10% of the who live in the area affected sign a register within the next 45 day.”
The third story, “Well, the Quebec Health Care system is getting some reinforcements: Nurse practitioners. 17 nurses were credited today. They’re allowed to do some things only doctors could do before. But as Peter Johnson reports, some say the move is long overdue.”
Peter Johnson begins, “Isabelle Milette is part a new generation of nurses in Quebec: Nurses who can diagnose, decide some treatment, as well as prescribe drugs.”
Isabelle Milette, Nursing Student, explains, “We still do nursing approach and nursing things, but we do a lot of medical stuff. And the responsibilities of, like, making diagnosis, taking decisions, deciding on treatment is totally different than what we do as a nurse.”
Peter Johnson reports, “Milette graduates next year. But Quebec’s first class of nurse practitioners received their diplomas today. For some, the ceremony had a touch of irony. Some nurses have been doing the work as part of pilot projects for more than a decade.”
Rose Boyle, Nurse Practitioner, Montreal Children’s Hospital, explains, “Actually, I’ve been doing this for 14 years. And, yeah, it’s just –you know, it’s been a long process. And it’s great that it’s finally happened.”
Peter Johnson informs, “Quebec is the last province in Canada to recognize nurse practitioners.”
Gyslaine Desrosiers, Order of Nurses, explains, “We had to take a longer time to discuss with our colleagues, the physicians.”
Peter Johnson informs, “The College of Physicians admits, some doctors are slow to accept change.”
Yves Robert, College of Physicians, explains, “I think there are two attitudes -one of fearing changes. And the other way, the realistic view that the physician will not be able to solve all problems alone.”
Peter Johnson adds, “For now, nurse practitioners are restricted to 3 specialties: Cardiology, Neonatal Care, and Phrenology. The next step is to accredit them for first-line care or family medicine. But some say, this too is long overdue.”
Michele Boisclair, Nurses’ Union, explains, “If you compare us to Ontario, they’re facing a shortage of doctors like we do. But they already have 800 nurse practitioners. In Quebec we don’t –in first line, we don’t have any.”
Peter Johnson continues, “For Isabelle Milette, the future as a nurse practitioner in neonatology is looking good.”
Isabelle Milette, Nursing Student, explains, “I think that was a very good opportunity to mix two different roles together –per se, the medical role and the nursing role together.”
Peter Johnson closes, “Now, it’s just up to the government to convince others to follow in her footsteps. Peter Johnson, CBC News, Montreal.”
The fourth story, “In Thetford Mines, public health officials have retraced most of the people that were tested with some of the same needles in that diabetes screening we told you about last night. But those people are still anxiously awaiting for results to see whether or not those needles infected them with something else. Rosemary Barton reports.”
Rosemary Barton begins, “Cecile Demers is one of about 150 people who were tested using some of the same needles. The diabetes test was free, and Demers thought it would be a good idea. But because of a mistake, she has now also been tested for hepatitis B, C and HIV. ‘I’m just waiting for the results of the blood test,’ says Demers, ‘There is no reason to be worried yet.’ Public health officials say, this machine is the cause of the problem. It is used to test blood-sugar levels –normally for individual use. But at a free screening last week, it was used on many people, and the needle, which should reload automatically, didn’t.”
Marc Aras, Diabetes Quebec, explains, “It is something that is normally very positive. It is just an unfortunate thing that happened in one place.”
Rosemary Barton reports, “Officials say, they believe the glucometer used was defective. But the manufacturer says, the problem was more because of misuse. ‘It clearly says that it should not be used on many people, because of the risk of infection and contamination,’ says Michele Beaubien from Roach. The screening test was also being run by two students, and there was no medical supervision. Clement Busier was also tested that day. ‘I told them that I won’t do that again in the future and that I no longer have confidence them,’ he says. That is just what Diabetes Quebec is worried about. It says, it will make changes to make sure free screening tests in the future are safer. Rosemary Barton, CBC News, Quebec City.”
The fifth story, “And in other health news tonight: The Quebec Human Rights Commission is ordering the health agency responsible for long-term care in the Beauce, to compensate victims of abuse. An investigation uncovered abuse cases a few years back. Now, the cash payout will be $170,000. It will go to 4 victims, and the next of kin of 9 other victims, at 5 seniors homes. The abuse came to light in 2002. And since then, 4 employees of the homes have been fired, and watchdog committees have been put in place.”
Michel continues, “Well, there are probably trick-or-treaters ringing your doorbell right now. Halloween is, of course, well underway. And our Geeta Nadkarni is disguised tonight as a…”
Geeta Nadkarni, wearing a short black outfit with a dark purple frilly scarf, almost like a feather boa, along with tights and hood with cat ears, and standing in the midst of a group of children in their Halloween costumes, exclaims, “A cat!” Michel replies, “Yes, you are a cat, aren’t you.” Geeta Nadkarni continues, “Yes, I am. And I decided not to let the cold, rainy weather get me down. It is, there is still a slight bit of a drizzle. And it’s hovering between 2 and 3 degrees here, in Montreal. But as you could see, I’ve come to the right place to have a good time. I’m outside the church here, in Verdun –it is the All Saints Church as a matter of fact. And I’m going to go inside in just a minute. But I’ll give you a little treat –there’s dry weather coming your way. And I’ll tell you more when I come back. Michel?” Michel replies, “Alright, Geeta, we’ll see you later –nice ears.”
Michel continues, “Well, coming up on CBC News at Six: By a Thread. It’s our special series on Montreal’s garment industry. And tonight, you’ll meet Lucy Sousa. She’s a garment worker –she’s been a garment worker for more than 30 years. And she’s now suddenly out of a job. Andrew Chang has her story, next.” And then, the first commercial break.
Upon returning, “And we’re back with part two of By a Thread. This week we’re looking at Montreal’s garment industry. Last night we looked back at the rise and fall of it. Well, tonight, we focus on one woman who’s seen that first hand. Lucy Sousa made a lifelong career in the garment trade but now she’s out of a job, and struggling to start over. Here’s Andrew Chang.”
Andrew Chang begins, “Lucy Sousa has spent 37 years of her life sewing pockets.”
Lucy Sousa, Former Cardinal Employee, explains, “And they have two pockets, okay -slash and flam. I don’t know if you know what it is –but that’s okay.”
Andrew Chang reports, “You could call her an expert. But just 4 days ago, the job she’s known almost all of her life, ended.”
Lucy Sousa, Former Cardinal Employee, explains, “For me, it was a shock. Because after so many years, I’m not younger too –I am 53 years old. And I have to look for another job.”
Andrew Chang informs, “Last Friday, Sousa was laid-off from Cardinal Clothes, along with more than 80 other people. Cardinal is moving its operations from Montreal to China –where a worker can sew pockets for about 25 cents an hour. Compare that to Lucy Sousa’s wage of a little more than $14 an hour –multiply the savings millions of times over, and you’re left with thousands of Quebecers every year, losing jobs to a factory giant they will never hope to compete with.”
Lucy Sousa, Former Cardinal Employee, explains, “I still need to work. I have the house to pay. I have kids. I have a lot of people in the house –I need my job. For the first time, believe me –I am scared. 37 years in Canada –I’m getting scared now, for the first time.”
Andrew Chang reports, “Now, she’ll have no choice, at 53-years of age, but to start her life over.”
Lucy Sousa, Former Cardinal Employee, explains, “So, we’ll see what’s gonna happen. I am nervous. I don’t know how it’s gonna be, what they’re gonna do.”
Andrew Chang informs, “Emploi-Quebec is holding a meeting in the Cardinal factory for all the company’s former employees –it’s a starting point. They’re learning where to go to get the skills they need, so they can find a new career.”
Lucy Sousa, Former Cardinal Employee, explains, “They’re gonna help you get a little bit more money, if you have children. And they also, they have a program –they can help you go to school. Or go to your own business. They’re gonna teach you the techniques.”
Andrew Chang continues, “The union representing Montreal’s garment workers is also bracing for the worst. This is a French class specifically for those in the apparel industry. Orlando Ellen, is a presser, Rowena Bonto, a separator, Marali Feramond, a sewer. The one thing they all have in common is that in a few months, they fear they may not have jobs.”
Rowena Bonto, Jack Victor Employee, explains, “I’m worried –I’m worried for that, you know -because the economy of Canada is going down.”
Andrew Chang reports, “Jean-Yves Gignard says, there are many companies who have moved operations elsewhere. So at a minimum, learning the language will allow the people here to work in other sectors, if it comes to that.”
Andrew Chang adds, “In Lucy Sousa’s case, a fresh start is closer to home. She’s thinking of parlaying her knack for cooking into a job.”
Lucy Sousa, Former Cardinal Employee, explains, “I believe in God. They say, like, he never closes one door and doesn’t open another one, you know. So that’s why, inside me I’m thinking like that.”
Andrew Chang informs, “Getting into the restaurant business –she’s hopeful though. Because she knows, it’s probably her best shot for new life. Andrew Chang, CBC News, Montreal.”
Michel continues, “Okay, our series, By a Thread continues on Thursday. We’ll look at the hidden part of the garment trade. It’s called home workers. They work, of course, in the shadows –they get low wages, have no benefits, and no job security. That’s Thursday, on By a Thread.”
“Well, coming up after the break: Geeta’s back live from a haunted house, with the weather forecast. And, we’ll look at the economic impact of Halloween –from costumes to candy, the cost can be scary –that’s next.” And then, the second commercial break.
Upon returning, a bearded man, with the top of his head appearing to be shaven, but with a circle of hair as a wreath about his head, remaining, wears a medieval pale yellow monk’s cloak. With his hands flat together as if in benediction or prayer, and situated inside the control room of the CBC Newsroom, he bows to greet the viewer and says, “Hello. My name is Eric Trudel. I’m the show’s director. And we’re in the CBC control room. You’re watching CBC News at Six. Happy Halloween.”
Michel comments, “He did shave his head, by the way. It’s good to see that Eric is in the spirit of things. And you know, he’s also not the only one. Because, you may not know this, but Halloween is an industry onto itself. All the candy, the costumes, the decorations, well, they can add up. I mean, we’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars for one single night. Leah Hendry reports.”
Leah Hendry begins, “Rianna Robruso’s been too scared to come down here alone –her uncle’s garage transformed into the neighbourhood haunted house. But fake blood and skeletons don’t come cheap.”
‘It costed roughly about…between $500 and $1,000,’
Leah Hendry reports, “Yikes! -But that kind of spending isn’t unusual on this, the creepiest, spookiest of days. Some people go all out.”
A man comments, “The price is no object for me. It’s just that to make the kid happy.”
A woman comments, “This year, mostly around $1,000.”
Leah Hendry informs, “And that’s not even including candy. According to Stats Canada, Canadians spend about $259 million on candy in October -$50 million more than any other month. And businesses are glad for the boost in profits. This store usually sells swimming pools but is Halloween headquarters in October. Anne de la Gauchetière says, people spend about $250 a year for outside decorations, and about the same for inside.”
Leah Hendry, inside a very strange and large wizard costume with humongous hands, informs, “Halloween is big business. Not just the decorations, but with costumes too. A costume like this one goes for $1,000, to rent it for one evening, $400. Sounds expensive, but somebody rented it last week.”
Leah Hendry continues, “At Giggles in LaSalle, Halloween makes up about a quarter of their yearly sales.”
Marc Choran Giggles Owner, explains, “By far the biggest holiday –blows Christmas away, Valentine’s away, Saint Patrick’s Day. No comparison, Halloween makes our whole year.”
Leah Hendry adds, “It’s so popular, Giggles opened up a temporary Halloween store in Cote-St-Luc, and plan to open 2 or 3 more next year. Marc Choran says, people are willing to spend big money.”
Marc Choran Giggles Owner, explains, “Very often when people come in, they spend $500 to up to two, three thousand dollars on Halloween –every year they buy more stuff just to add on, to decorate their house.”
Leah Hendry closes, “Big business for sure. Even my cameraman has caught the Halloween bug. Leah Hendry, CBC News, Montreal.”
Michel continues, “And you know, we have a Halloween theme also for weather tonight. Our Geeta Nadkarni is out at a castle, believe it or not. Geeta, I’m not aware if there’s a castle in Montreal. There is?”
Geeta Nadkarni, wearing her black cat costume, and sitting on a very large wooden chair at a table, and she replies, “Yeah, well, we do have a castle in Montreal. And since I came as a cat, I have been served a biologically appropriate dinner.” (A very large rat sitting on a silver plate) It is still slightly rainy outside in Montreal. It is 3 degrees. And it just doesn’t seem fair that it would be dry all day today and then rain just as kids go out for trick-or-treating. But if we look at that weather system map, with the satellite and radar readings, we’ll see that there’s not a lot of –there was a little bit of low grade precipitation. So, we saw cloud cover for Montreal. We did see it be cold and rainy in Quebec City. And the good news is that it will dry up for tomorrow. And I’ll tell you a little bit more about that. But Val D’Or will get 60% of flurries. Now, that may seem a big deal, but think about this: Ontario at the moment is facing a snow squall warning. So, we’re not even getting the teeth of this weather system. And if we look at the highs for tomorrow, we’ll see that yes, they are in fact below seasonal. It will be dry for Montreal, the Eastern Townships, and Quebec City. So we will see a few dry days –which is great news. And well, we’ve seen a lot of really cute costumes. I have with me right here a skeleton. Why did you choose to be a skeleton?” The skeleton replies, “Because I want to be a witch, but my mom won’t let me, because she won’t buy me the costume.” Geeta comments, “Her mom wouldn’t buy her the witch costume –so, there you have it. If we look at our 3-day forecast, we’ll see Tada! 3 dry days. Does that seem incredible or what? And now, I know it’s a little too early to say, but I will stick my neck out and say this: At the moment, the weather’s looking, the weekend’s looking absolutely fantastic. So, there you go, Michel. Here I am. I have my dinner.” (Geeta hold up the rat plate) And from what I can see, it’s candy time!” Michel comments, “Well, bon appetite, my dear. Alright, Geeta thanks a lot.”
Michel continues, “Well stay with us. Coming up on The Scene tonight, with Anna Asimakopulos: A special Halloween concert by the MSO. You’re watching CBC News at Six.” And then, the third commercial break.
Upon returning, “Schools and daycares all over Montreal celebrated Halloween today, with kids and teachers in some pretty amazing costumes. And some of those kids were actually at a special concert given by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra –and that happened this morning. Anna Asimakopulos, you went to that –you’re not a kid. But how was it?”
Anna Asimakopulos, wearing a pale pink shirt top that had lines that looked like finely stitched squares, and sitting in front of the dusk bridge image, replies, “I felt like a kid all over again. It was really wonderful. And this is the first time the Montreal Symphony Orchestra’s ever done this. And they performed also to some kids from St-Justine Hospital, who were there as well. And they performed Peter and the Wolf, and the music from the films Harry Potter and E.T.” Michel comments, “Nice.”
Richard Roberts, MSO Musician, explains, “It’s a fun experience for us. Because normally we play serious concerts for audiences that are interested in great music. But this is just pure fun.”
A little boy comments, “I like the music.”
Another little boy comments, “The sound, it’s like cool a little bit.”
Marianne Dugal, MSO Musician, explains, “It’s surprising how much they love it. And to a certain extent, even more than adults –because they love it completely, purely and simply –and they enjoy the colours of the instrument, and the colours of music.”
A little girl remarks, “I like all the music.”
A young boy remarks, “I really like the Harry Potter part. And really like when E.T. and when we were doing the story.”
Marianne Dugal, MSO Musician, explains, “It’s our job to bring it to them, and make them appreciate it and love it. And they’ll carry on, after.”
Back in studio, Anna Asimakopulos continues, “And they’re hoping to do that again next year. Because they all had such a great time with it –but it depends on the generosity of their sponsor, if it’s repeated or not.”
Michel comments, “Yes, yes –a familiar phrase. So, you also looked into another concert, but that one’s happening tonight.”
Anna Asimakopulos replies, “Yes. It’s Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars. And as the name suggests, these are men and women who met in a refugee camp in Guinea. And I met up with the lead singer, Reuben Koroma, who’s in Montreal tonight.”
Anna Asimakopulos begins, “It was in the late 1990’s that Reuben Koroma landed in a refugee camp in Guinea. He was fleeing the civil war in Sierra Leone.”
Reuben Koroma, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, explains, “My father was killed. Our house was looted. And my mother tried to escape the war, died.”
Anna Asimakopulos reports, “Koroma was a musician before the war. In the camp, he met a man who managed carry an acoustic guitar to safety. The two began to play together. And that, in turn, attracted many more musicians.”
Reuben Koroma, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, explains, “But tt helped me greatly, because it helped me to air out some of my grievances.”
Anna Asimakopulos informs, “It’s become much more than that. A few years ago, the band caught the ear of two documentary producers. Their film about the Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars got the band the kind of exposure they never expected. Now, they’re touring around the world.”
Back in studio, Anna Asimakopulos continues, “And Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars are at the Spectrum tonight. And it’s a really feel-good story. It was wonderful to meet them.” Michel closes, “Absolutely. Thanks a lot, Anna.” Anna replies, “You’re welcome.”
Michel continues, “Okay now. Also keep in mind, CBC News at Six is on location tomorrow. We’re heading to St-Leonard. We’ll be coming to you live from the Leonardo Da Vinci. So, come on by and get a behind-the-scenes view of how our show is put together. It’d be nice to meet you also.”
“And that was Montreal today. Canada Now is next. For the CBC News at Six team, I’m Michel Godbout. Happy Halloween. We’ll see you tomorrow.”
Happy Halloween.
