Make Poverty History - Gord Sighting

[Yuri]

A Gordon Lightfoot Sighting!
Just caught a TV commercial for 'Make Poverty History - Canada' and thought I saw a familiar face flash onto the screen for a few seconds. Gordon Lightfoot has added his name to this cause along with a large number of other Canadian artists.

You can read more about the cause at;

Although the site doesn't contain any further photos or info on Gord, you can find his name using the 'Search' feature. Those in Canada, keep your eyes peeled Gord's mug on this advertisement.

did you catch the news folks on GLOBAL on a commercial with quotes from different folks that they found enlightening and pertaining to news I suppose.??

Lauren McNabb had these lines from Love and Maple Syrup:
Looking for the world to be
Anything but what they see
Longing to be understood
By the heart that shapes the wood

Thanks Char. I hadn't seen the commercial before today. When I checked the site I didn't see the video. I also missed the GLOBAL commercial with Lauren McNabb quoting Gord. I thought I caught another one of the GLOBAL ads you refer to with another quote from Gord but have never managed to catch it again. Geezzz, it's a race between my eyesight and my mind to see which is lost first!
I can always count on you Char...........thanks!
