Playlist for 29-Nov-11

Today's program and all the wonderful Canadian music we listened to, is dedicated to the Canadian farmer and the Canadian farmer's family. At the bottom of the playlist is the contact information for the National Farmers' Union - Please contact the NFU, or your MP, to see what you can do to help stop Canadian farmers from going bankrupt - a fate our Prime Minister seems determined to effect.

As always, many thanks to the Canadian musicians that keep us tapping our toes. Please remember that Canadian farmers are facing bankruptcy at an alarming rate, and abolishing the Canadian Wheat Board (as per Harper's government) will only help the gigantic Corporate farms and speed up the ruination of the Canadian farmer. Help your local farmer - write to the Harper government and speak out against his ruination of the Canadian farmer.
