Subject: An important message from one of our friends
Hello everyone,
Please read the following message from Jean-Francois Denis of DIFFUSION MeDIA:
Canadan Heritage has renewed the Canada Music Funds (CMF) for 5 years - that is good news -- but this new CMF no longer includes the Music Diversity Component that was funding -- via the Canada Council for the Arts -- the produciton and the distribution of experimental music, electroacoustic music, and more.
Following several steps taken by the Conseil québécois de la musique (CQM) during the past two weeks, the CQM was invited to testify the
importance of these two grants programmes at a parliamentary session in Ottawa around October 22.
I thus ask you to participate in 3 actions this week (October 12)...
1- I am inviting you to read the CQM Declaration
-- <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l/6f837;www.cqm.qc.ca/113/Action.html" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/l/6f837;www.cqm.qc.ca/113/Action.html</a> -- and to
email the CQM to add you name to the list of
signatures --
<a href="mailto:projets@cqm.qc.ca?subject=AppuiDeclarationduCQM" target="_blank">mailto:projets@cqm.qc.ca?subject=AppuiDeclarationduCQM</a>.
2- I am inviting you to write a paper letter and
to mail it -- it is free to mail to the Canadian
government -- to the Canadian Heritage minister
with carbon copies -- with stamps this time -- to
both the Canada Council for the Arts and to the
CQM -- see the second part of the web page
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/l/6f837;www.cqm.qc.ca/113/Action.html" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/l/6f837;www.cqm.qc.ca/113/Action.html</a> It is
important to customize this form letter by
providing, for example, the list of discs
directly or indirectly produced with support from
these grants, and the impact these discs have had
on your carrerr so far.
3- Finally there is a parallel petition (in
English) that you may want to sign --
