Council of Canadians is organizing a series of panels for their 
"Citizens' Inquiry on Canada-U.S. Relations".

Their last one, occuring in Ottawa, is about media & culture.

Times are not on the web site but are included in the fowarded e-mail 
below.

They despratley need a perspective from the CC community.  I am 
enquiring them right now if it is too late for additional speakers to 
come between 9 and 4 pm.

Anyone from the Ottawa cc-ca community interested in going, either to 
the panel or the discussion?

On the web page for that panel (http://tinyurl.com/59ttt):
"The large Canadian telecommunications, cable, and satellite companies 
are hungry for investment dollars. They?re pressuring the feds to relax 
the rules so that foreign corporations can own more than 50% of their 
stock. They also want to be able to sell their companies to the highest 
bidder, regardless of where they?re located. Thus far, the free traders 
at Industry Canada seem to think this is a good idea, 
#*#*#* while the cultural protectionists at Canadian Heritage #*#*#
are adamantly opposed. "




À prochaine,

Julien

Hi Julien,

So sorry about that! The information is going up on our website as I
 type this.

The Ottawa Crossing the Line event will take place at the main branch
 of the public library -- 120 Metcalfe (at Laurier). From 9 am to 4 pm,
 experts and community groups will make presentation to our panel of
 commissioners (including Maude Barlow). There will be an evening panel
 discussion from 7 pm to 9:30 pm, also at the library. We are just in
 the process of updating our roster of speakers -- the information will
 be up on our website as soon as it's confirmed.

Thanks for your interest. Please feel free to give me a call if you
 have any further questions, or would like more information.

Ariel
