"If only George Bush would give it a listen", said Boom Desjardins, in a Journal de Montreal article.

Additionaly, visitors to a photo exhibit by Gerry Deiter will be able to buy signed prints of shots he took while spending the week with J&Y back in 69.

This GIVE PEACE A CHANCE campaign is presided by Justin Trudeau [ Pierre Elliot's son ] and profits from the sales of the photos will benefit AMNESTIE INTERNATIONALE.
