Today we’ll hear from those affected by the residential
schools. We’ll
hear why the government is ready to apologize for wrongs caused and
bring you an interview with Indian Affairs Minister, Chuck Strahl, on
how the government is preparing for this historic apology. And since
churches were partners that used to run the residential schools,
we’ll
listen for the Christian voice on the issues this apology
raises. In
Duncan B.C., where a residential school was demolished, Listen Up went
to hear from a church community that is moving forward in
reconciliation with Canada’s founding
peoples. Read

Twenty-two thousand. It's a big
number that represents a group of small
people. That's because it's the number of children awaiting adoption in
this country. Today on Listen Up, a child's right to a home and ways
that you can foster or adopt these children!
Over
the past decade, the number of children in foster care in Canada has
increased 65 per cent. It's a shocking reality that translates into
disturbing numbers. More than 76-thousand children live in foster
care. 22-thousand await adoption. Only a small percentage of them will
ever find the homes and families they dream of.
Today: a story
that defies the odds. Vicki Mansell's childhood was headline-making for
abuse and the loss of her parents. What's happened to her in the 20
years since her horrific tragedy?
We'll visit a BC couple who
spent 25 years fostering, and who call 12 children their own, including
Vicki Mansell, and interview a group of people who care about Canada's
need to find homes for 22,000 children. They gathered in Toronto
recently, to bring attention to the problem. Read

Let's
Talk: Your Thoughts on "Waiting, Hoping, Remembering"
No need for stress! Just enjoy the gift of each
moment. Merry Christmas! Connie
Another great "made me think" show. Very clever the way you got us all
riled up about how self indulgent and wasteful we are and then when
we're vulnerable and primed you intro us to "Free Trade" ops. Fred
A visit or contact with a friend. Some people leave a gift at the door.
I would rather have no gift & the contact...an afternoon tea,
or just a little visit & time of sharing. That is what I will
remember. Marion
Let's
Talk: Your Thoughts on "Taser
Tragedy: Who is my Neighbour?"
James Grunau: Fine job with the show on
Sunday and the perspective on neighborliness. I had never
seen the show before and was impressed in how you handled the situation
in a thoughtful and deep way without being too "religious"
Nelida: Its my first time to watch your program LISTEN UP
until it catched my attention about the man
who tasered and died at Vancouver
Airport. It gives me opportunity to share and voice
out my opinions on the topic each week of your program LISTEN
UP. I really like your program and it's very
interesting , ' cause all pertains of what's happening each
day and in everyday life. For sure, I will watch
LISTEN UP this Sunday
Jake: Regarding your programs of late concerning the man at Vancouver
air port. It seems you are some what biased in that you are making
judgment on the air port staff and the police. It seems to me that your
TV time could be better spent preaching the gospel of
salvation than to stir into situations you are not very familiar with.
