Hi everyone
 
Just a reminder to watch Chex TV tonight at 9pm as Paul brings his message home to everybody.
 
This election is not by any means over.
 
Are you going to let it be decided by an egotistical ,smug neo conservative businessman, an out of town professional spin doctor, a newspaper, that is a wrapper at best ,for grocery store ads, six faceless people who think they a political pundits and an over the hill sports caster?

I think not.
 
So here is what we all need to do
 
1. Do I have to say this VOTE
 
2. Make sure your neighbours and relatives VOTE
 
3. You facebook twitter guys TURN UP THE VOLUME and make sure everyone VOTE
 
See how simple it is
 
There is approximately 200 people who see this email. Each of you be responsible for seeing that 5 more people get out and Vote so let see that is now 1200 people and they are each responsible for 5 each so now it is 7400. Now that group they only need to each contact I each and we are 14,800 enough to win. Oh by the way THEY VOTE FOR PAUL
 
Easy as 1x5x5x1
 
We won easily with 12,000 the last time so no sweat.
 
Thanks to those of you who helped us carry the message this last week with your contributions
 
See everyone at The Holiday Inn Monday night at 730 pm
 
Cheers
 
John McNutt
Paul for continued Progress

Habitat for Humanity Ceremony This Friday To Mark Completion of Three New Homes For Peterborough Families

Peterborough's Habitat for Humanity chapter started here back in 2002 and since then, with the help of many volunteers and the community's help, this non-profit organization has given many families a secure and safe home to be proud of and to know they were part of building their very own home. Just recently, Habitat has completed three homes on Towerhill Road with the help of Fleming's Sustainable Building Program, the Peterborough Professional Firefighters Association and community volunteers.

 

This Friday (October 22nd), there will be a dedication and celebration ceremony at 1 p.m. at 288 Towerhill Road to honour the accomplishment and the completion of these homes. It's an opportunity to meet the families and people of the community that in some way contributed to this wonderful cause.

If you are interested in becoming involved with Habitat, click here for more info. —Julie Morris, PtboCanada contributor

PtboPics: The Sadies, Andy Maize of Skydiggers and Devin Cuddy (Jim's son) at Gordon Best Theatre

Last night, Gordon Best Theatre (above the Only Café) was closed down for a private party and PtboCanada was there. Among the bands performing to the packed crowd were Peterborough's Magpie, The Sadies (first pic below) and Andy Maize of Skydiggers (second pic below, standing, far left on mic), who performed a stripped down set of songs, including "I Will Give You Everything". Alongside Andy on guitar was none other than Devin Cuddy (second and third pic below), the son of Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy. It was quite a night.
