I and my friends from Canada's community radio associations -- the National Campus and Community Radio Association, l'Association des radiodiffuseurs communautaires du Québec, and l'ARC du Canada -- had a good meeting yesterday with Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus, the NDP parliamentary critic for Canadian Heritage. I reminded Charlie that I remembered him from punk band L'Etranger; they played Halifax in the early-1980s with Winnipeg's Dub Rifles. Angus went on to form the Grievous Angels, which has had a long career and become something of a cultural institution in Northern Ontario. As our associations push for the recognition and development of community media in Canada, we're hearing good things from Charlie and the other MPs with whom we are talking.
