Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook and Len Falkenstein and jack Layton – August 14 2006

PEJ News – C. L. Cook – This week on GR; Playwright and artistic director of New Brunswick's Theatre Free Radical, Len Falkenstein and what's in store for our 'Futures.'

And, On a beautiful summer's day, I mingled with they, and local party supporters, all anxious to meet the man of the moment. All this city's NDP apparatchik, past and present, were in attendance, squeezed into the Queen Mother's Cafe, down on Victoria's Gorge waterfront.

One-time provincial NDP leader, Dave Barrett, aspirant to office, Charlie Beresford, sitting MP, Denise Savioe, and MLA, Rob Fleming, pressed the flesh, and graciously granted interviews to yours truly; I guess they hadn't read my last piece on Jack and the NDP, 'An Open Invitation to Jack Layton: Why Do We Not Fight?'

And, Janine Bandcroft bringing us up to speed with local events in the coming week.
