Australia has elected a new PM who promises to move the country in a different direction.
"Labor Party head Kevin Rudd's pledges on global warming and Iraq move Australia sharply away from policies that had made Mr. Howard one of U.S. President George W. Bush's staunchest allies."
This means that it will probably be Canada and Canada alone
opposing any real action on climate change amoung Commonwealth countries.
""It's Canada and Australia on one side and everybody else on the other," he said. Fifty-two countries are in Kampala to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and at the end of the three days a declaration on climate change is expected."
Krief has posted an update about a new album which he says should be ready in march and:
"ps. We're gonna name the band something for the next record.. we're down to several options, and we'll be making the decision soon enough."
Radio 3 and Cuff the Duke will be at HMV (333 Yonge Street) in Toronto on Wednesday
"To celebrate the release of CBC Radio 3 Sessions: Volume 3, we'll be doing it old-school. Cuff The Duke will perform, I'll be hanging out and chatting with folks, and you'll have a chance to win a SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO! On top of all of that, we'll be recording the show!"
Two weeks into the writers strike in the US
American Networks have started eyeing CanCon"“They can't do reality and reruns forever, and they only have so many movies in the can,” says Jennings. “So they're looking around. ReGenesis is on the desk of three networks, and I had a call this week from one of the Big Three presidents,” she adds, referring to the chiefs of NBC, ABC and CBS. “Whether it amounts to anything, who knows? These calls may – or may not – have happened regardless of the strike, but let's just say it pushes [available Canadian programming] up the pile.”"
Patrick Krief reports that the new album is done and will be unveiled, along with his band's official name, at Lion D'OR on April 26.
