Raise a Ruckus for Radio Two!

A National Day of Action to save Radio 2 and the CBC Orchestra

Friday, April 11, 2008
9:00am - 1:30pm 看(see specific times for each city below)

St. John's, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary,看
Vancouver, and more!


After the wonderful success of the recent protest at CBC Vancouver to看
protest the demise of the CBC Radio Orchestra, a protest in Montreal is看
being organized by musicians and Radio Two fans in solidarity this Friday.看
In order to give folks in other cities enough time to organize, OUR NATIONAL看
DAY OF ACTION DEMONSTRATION WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT FRIDAY, APRIL 11th (note看the change, folks)

Can we expand this protest to every CBC installation across the country. Do看
you dare to take a portion of your lunch hour to travel to the CBC centre in看
YOUR community to call for an end to the cutting of classical music看
programming and infrastructure? Can we make it a rolling protest, that hits看
every time zone, one after the other (half an hour later in Newfoundland)?
