The day she was recording, animator Aaron Blaise was in the studio to meet with the producers. After catching a glimpse of Forbess in the sound booth, Blaise found...
...credits for people who buy mass-transit passes. Harper has vowed to revisit the issue of same-sex marriage, which is now legal in Canada, by putting it to a vote in Parliament, but he has promised not to touch abortion rights.
