The Titanic Terrarium

MAv, you give us so much more access than we ever used to have. Your efforts are appreciated, always.

Courage. Have no idea what number we're at now.

New O

It'd be cool if they released a soundboard recording of this to iTunes (obviously would have to be after the new album is released) and sent most/all of the profits to the community.

damn someone posted on FB "saying the got the setlist" one new song called "man poem machine" --- what a namee!!!
and they played gus?
cant wait till the summerr..

Props to the band and team for hauling their asses up to James Bay to share with native peoples something that is typically entirely elusive to these communities. To reach out in a collaboration of chant, song and symbolic gesture is divine, and makes the "feed" back to the privileged and engaged fan almost inconsequential.

Especially now, with major cutbacks to all native programs, and the appalling Harperian insensitivity to native needs, its good to see this type of initiative take place. Hopefully it grows roots.

It would have been sweet to experience this live from afar, but I'm more than content to know the band we love is investing their efforts on something like this.

To MAv and supporting team, just trying makes it all great. You done good mate!

O give me a break, like they had it great before Harper. I cant stand someone trying to make everything into a political issue. This is The Hips show and has nothing to do with Harper.
Remember "The Hidden Agenda" that all of the left wing nuts were ranting about. The end of abortion, selling ourselves to the U.S. Recently Harper refused to open the abortion debate, and when Obama pushed back the pipeline deal again Harper went to China to talk oil trade. Yup he is such a right wing nut and none of the forcasts from the left wing have yet to come true. O and whats this Harper KEPT a promise and got rid of the gun registry. O man I think the Liberals (federally and provincially) should start taking notes on how to get the job done without lieing all the time.

The Natives have had it bad since day one and from the last I read the Liberals were in power for 75% of the time. So have a look in the mirror if you believe that Harper is somehow to blame for anything.
Its continued Canadian Public acceptance of the situation. If there was a movement that had steam and was across the board in support with demonstrations against the appaling conditions then change would happen. Its the lack of public support thats to blame. The quiet acceptance. The fact that the reserves are out of sight and out of mind in most cases.

What'd Gord do to his thumb? Thanks for the pics MAv!

Nice - how about this from Facebook:

The Tragically Hip says: the entire trip is being filmed by a documentary film crew - fyi
