Canceled event at SAT for now...

[René Barsalo]

Sorry guys, been working hard to organize a major panel on the fiber optic vision in Canada... two of the major panelist can't be available on the 25th... will see if we can still do something special on that date.

As you may know, SAT is part of a major demonstration force against Harpers cut in Digital research programs and arts program. There was more than 2000 people form the arts sector in Québec who started a demonstration in front of SAT yesterday. It will take a lot of energy to make Harper change his mind... did not see many comments on this space about these cuts... where is the rest of Canada on this question? Major chance that we will be in full election period at that date? Here is a link to a spontaneous web site that was done last night after the demonstration : http://www.laculturesenflamme.ca/ ... and several links to press reaction within that site at the end of that site.

Also, for those who did not see this, have a look at this video about a private meeting between Harpers cabinet ;- ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0GS_X9hYII
