I am just back from Montreal. I was there to testify about a clause put into the CFCF -TV collective agreement 33 years ago. Although all those affected by the clause were working at the station when I was there, I was the only person they could find that was actually at the bargaining table.
It was very interesting because the arbitrator was Francophone and they two lawyers first language was Englist. The hearing was held in French, the language in the agreement is in English, the witness testified in English and the discussion switched back and forth between both languages seamlessly, sometimes mid sentence. It was really fun for me to see some people I hadn't seen in over 30 years. It was a real treat
I had the first afternoon free to wander around old Montreal which is always a treat.
I stayed at a hotel in Chinatown so had soup for lunch the first day, met with the lawyer over a meal of Chinese food the first night and had lunch at a great Chinese buffet for lunch. By the time I left I was looking for something else to eat.
I took the train out to Ste Anne de Bellevue and went for supper with my mother and Ruth. Italian food at Romana's in Pointe Claire village.
I spent the night at a hotel by the airport and flew out this morning.
The Toronto - Regina leg was delayed a bit when they had to change a tire on the aircraft before we left but I am back safe and sound.

Floor hockey tonight!
