Prime Minister Paul Martin to Launch National Weekly Radio Address with Discussion of Softwood Lumber 

October 28, 2005

OTTAWA ? October 28, 2005 ? Prime Minister Paul Martin will launch his first national weekly radio address on Sunday, October 30, 2005, with a two minute discussion of the softwood lumber trade dispute with the United States. This will be the first of what are planned to be regular addresses by the Prime Minister on radio covering a variety of topics.

Given that there may be occasion to speak to political matters, the Prime Minister has instructed that the cost of these broadcasts be borne by the Liberal Party of Canada.

The address will also be made available Sunday via the party Web site at www.liberal.ca

Below is a list of stations that will be broadcasting the address every Sunday at approximately 10:58 AM (local time unless otherwise indicated):
 

Newfoundland	VOCM
PEI	CHLQ
Nova Scotia	CKPE, CHFX
New Brunswick	CFQM, CIOK
Quebec	CITF, CFQR, CITE, CJAD
Ontario	CJMJ (10:44), CIMF, CJEZ (10:54), CHRE (10:42) CFCA, CIQM, CIDR (10:46), CJMX, CFRB
Manitoba	CHIQ (10:26)
Saskatchewan	CIZL, CFMC
Alberta	CKRY (10:40), CKNG (10:26)
British Columbia	CKLG, CIOC, CFSR, CICF

 

A weekly prime ministerial radio address/paid politcal message isn't exactly a Canadian tradition, though U.S. presidents have been doing it for years.  Does Martin think he's Dubyaman?
