THE LINK Listen to the first part of the program The Link - Friday, November 7, 2020 Hour 1... CITY PUTS OUT "HIRE IMMIGRANTS" GUIDE: Employers in Ottawa have a new guide to help them integrate immigrants into the workplace. It's the work of the city of Ottawa, members of the city's business community and local immigrant service agencies. As our correspondent in Ottawa, Val�rie Morand, reports, the new guide aims to dispel myths about hiring new Canadians and offers advice on how to ensure that hiring a skilled immigrant worker benefits both the employee and employer. **ANTOINE'S JUKEBOX: RCI's Antoine Bonaparte is back with his pick of the best of new Canadian music. This week, he's talking about Ottawa fiddler Chris Mckhool and his new children's album "Fiddle Fire," Burton Cummings, former lead singer of The Guess Who, with "Above the Ground," Florence Khoriaty, best known as "Florence K," with a song called "Hija de Cuba" from her new album "La historia de Lola" and Andrew McPherson, better known as Eccodek and his newest work "Shivaboom" including the song called "Weightless Place." (**Not for podcast.) SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT IMPORTANCE OF ART: Pascale Goutal was born in Montreal, grew up in Europe and the Middle East, where she became a successful mathematician and nuclear safeguards researcher. But she left that career behind in 2001 to become a sculptor in Argentina. Now she's back in Canada and as she tells Marc Montgomery, she's spreading the word about the importance of art for everyone through her newly opened an art center called Centre d'Art La Salamandre. ON THIS DAY: It was on this date, in 1935, that a new political entity came into being in Canada's French-speaking province of Quebec. It was called the Union Nationale, a provincial party created by a rabble-rousing politician named Maurice Duplessis. For two decades, Union Nationale governments pushed for more autonomy from Ottawa. But during that time they would also be accused of shocking levels of corruption. Jim Craig looks back on that period in Quebec politics for his history column. SPORTS WRAP: Ian Jones is in with results and a word about UEFA Cup play, as compared to Champions League competition. In women's football (soccer), some good results and good prospects for the Canadian team in world FIFA action. In Olympic news, concerns about how the global financial crisis is affecting the building of certain facilities for the 2010 winter games in Vancouver. Hour 2... AUTOMAKERS SEEK HELP IN SLOWING ECONOMY: Canada's big three auto makers and parts manufacturers are suffering serious declines in sales and are asking the federal and provincial governments for help. The automotive industry is a huge cog in the Canadian economy and its players say they're struggling for their very survival. Lynn Desjardins has more on this story. UN REPORT: Catherine Mercier, our correspondent at United Nations headquarters in New York City, is in to talk about the election of Barack Obama and how its being seen at the UN where the relationship with the United States, over the last eight years, has not been very warm. In less hopeful news, there was word of renewed fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the UN is being accused of not doing enough to protect the civilian population in the region. PANEL: Starting in January, immigrants applying to come to Quebec will be required, as part of their application process, to sign a declaration. In brief, they are being asked to promise they'll learn French, acknowledge they understand men and woman have equal rights, and also that they understand that church and state are separate in Quebec. Anyone who does not sign the declaration will have their application refused. Our immigrant panel is in to share their views on this initiative and what it effect it could have on integrating immigrants into Quebec society. SPORTS WRAP: Ian Jones is back this hour with a word about the eight people recently inducted into the new Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. Also, more on the International Olympic Committee and its ban on the use of Hockey Canada�s maple leaf logo. The IOC is saying the new ban is linked to an expectation of exclusivity by Olympic sponsors. In other Olympic news, midnight November 7 is the last chance to get access to the first round of ticket sales for events at the 2010 winter games Vancouver.
