When it comes to Peter Mansbridge, what’s said in the Black Sheep Inn, stays in the Black Sheep Inn.
The popular news anchor for CBC was at the Wakefield pub Friday, along with some 250 attendees of the sold-out Canadians Care music night benefit for Syrian refugees. The journalist unleashed his inner George Carlin with his “up close and off-the-record” jokes. His comedy roasting has become a fun tradition at the Black Sheep Inn, the chosen haunt for the Jaimie Anderson Parliamentary Internship benefit organized by a volunteer committee led by Bruce Anderson with his wife, Nancy Jamieson.
It didn’t happen this year due to the busy federal election, but the couple decided to instead help the plight of Syrian refugees. Mansbridge, along with his wife and teenaged son, were there to support his friends and the cause. The fundraiser cleared more than $200,000. Some of those funds will be matched by the federal government under its Syrian Emergency Relief Fund, announced in September.
What initially got the ball rolling were the heartbreaking images taken by photojournalists “of a desperate tragedy unfolding in another part of the world,” Anderson, chairman of polling firm Abacus Data and a partner at i2 Ideas & Issues Advertising, told the room. “My wife, Nancy Jamieson, and I were really moved, as so many people here, in this community, across the country and, indeed, around the world, have been.”
The $250-a-ticket benefit attracted more than three dozen sponsors and featured musical artists Lynn Miles, Whitney Rose and MonkeyJunk.
Liberal cabinet minister Carolyn Bennett attended. So did other MPs. There was at least a dozen journalists from various major news organizations, including Global News chief political correspondent Tom Clark. He volunteered as charity auctioneer.
A bidding war broke out over a pair of executive first-class flights on any Air Canada route. The tickets went for $11,000, but a second set sold to the next-highest bidder for $10,000.
Also on the auction block were eight small portraits of living, current and former PMs painted by prominent artist Philip Craig. They were bought for $7,000 by Gary Zed from presenting sponsor EY. Zed plans to eventually hang them in EY’s new boardroom.
During the musical sets, Miles performed her song “What if you Were a Refugee”. It’s available on iTunes and all downloaded proceeds will go toward helping the Syrian refugees.
