I have had some questions on what exactly I did regarding getting the Habs back on French language TV. Thats a fair question for those who asked. I spoke several times with Gerry Frappier, president of RDS. Heidi Bonnell, vp for Rogers, Pierre-Marc Perreault, CRTC senior executive, Donald Beauchamp, Canadiens VP, Gary Meagher, NHL public relations and Jack Nolan of Eastlink. And, most important, many irate fans that called, especially in West Nipissing. Both the NHL and Rogers admitted that they werent expecting such negative feedback (HOSTILITY) and told me they were rushing to come up with a solution that would be acceptable to the people of Nickel Belt and all Northern Ontario. In my statement announcing the good news of a deal, I singled out Eastlink and the fans for praise. One of the special moments in this was the call from Sylvie Caron, daughter of the Old Professor Ron Caron, that Hab fans would remember. She was very mad she could not in Toronto watch the Habs on tv. She called RDS and was told a northern Nickel Belt MP was calling everyone to help solve this. Mme. Caron and I had a great chat about the Habs!
