Dawn Black

Dawn Black (born April 1, 1943) is a politician in British Columbia, Canada.

Born Dawn Whitty, Black became involved in politics from a young age, she became an assistant to New Democratic Party Member of Parliament Pauline Jewett.

Member of Parliament

She was elected as the MP for New Westminster—Burnaby in the 1988 federal election, succeeding the retiring Jewett. As an MP, one of her most notable achievements was proposing a private members bill that made December 6, the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, a permanent day of remembrance and action against violence against women. She also led the opposition to the Tories' anti-abortion measure and proposed an anti-stalking measure, which was later adopted by Parliament.

Elections

In the 1993 election, she lost her seat to Reform Party candidate Paul Forseth. She lost to him again in the 1997 election, but defeated Forseth in the 2006 election. Black was the NDP's defence critic.

Afghan issues

On April 5, 2006, during the first question period of the 39th Parliament Black asked Gordon O'Connor, then Minister of National Defence, to renegotiate the prisoner transfer agreement with the Afghan government. O'Connor refused saying "Mr. Speaker, we have no intention of redrafting the agreement. The Red Cross and the Red Crescent are charged with ensuring that prisoners are not abused. There is nothing in the agreement that prevents Canada from determining the fate of prisoners so there is no need to make any change in the agreement."

At Dawn

At Dawn is the second album from My Morning Jacket. The record is a turning point for the band in its steps toward more ambitious song lengths and eclecticism in other genres. The album features keyboards performed by Danny Cash.

Black Tie (band)

Black Tie was an American country rock supergroup formed by Jimmy Griffin, Randy Meisner and Billy Swan. The group's first album, When the Night Falls, was produced by Reggie Fisher and released on LP in 1985 by Bench Records (BR-001) and reissued on CD is 1990 (BRCD-101). For the CD release the band recorded new versions of two tracks from the LP, "Learning the Game," a cover of the Buddy Holly song, and "Chain Gang," a cover of the Sam Cooke song. These tracks were released as a single, and "Learning The Game" reached #59 of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Griffin was formerly a member of the soft rock band Bread, and would later chart five country singles as one-third of The Remingtons. Meisner was formerly a member of Poco, Ricky Nelson's Stone Canyon Band, and the Eagles. Swan had several country hits in the 1970s, including the Number One country and pop hit "I Can Help".

When Griffin left the group to form the Remingtons, the remaining members, Meisner and Swan, hooked up with Charlie Rich, Jr., son and former bandleader for his famous father, and began recording in 1992 under the name "Meisner, Swan & Rich." Ten tracks were released on an eponymous CD in April 2000 in Japan (2001 by Varese in the US and 2002 by Rev-Ola in the UK. (The same ten songs were reissued in 2006 and 2008 under the title, "The Eagle, The Dove and The Gold" on the Sonic Past Music label.)
