Arts and Culture with Jeanette Kelly

By day Morgan O'Shea works in a call centre.

And George Braithwaite is a program manager for a telecom company.

But those are just their day jobs.

Every Friday night the two gather with other people to tell jokes.

They run a show at a place called the 'Comedy Loft'

You won't see this show listed on the Just for Laughs schedule.

In fact you might not see it listed anywhere.

But it's been attracting a steady crowd for more than two years. 

Quebecor CEO Pierre Karl Peladeau is expected announce his company's plans to start a new Conservative cable news network in Canada later today. CBC reporter James-Fitz-Morris has been following the story.

A new book published by McGill Queen's University Press tells the story of the Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation.

And that their offspring wound down recently.

The book is an account of fifty years of philanthropy in the fields of learning disabilities, arts, cultural management, heritage and seniors care.

Stephen Bronfman is one of the third generation of Bronfmans carrying on the family tradition in his own way.
