A 31 sec Postage commercial

[Ibe1also]

My employer, Canada Post, recently invited all employees to make a short amateur commercial on one of 4 of our produces. My family chose PICTURE POSTAGE and we recently became finalists in a contest to win a 3 day trip or 2 to the Vancouver Olympics. The winner is now determined by how many views and ratings we can generate by Oct 31 of our online commercial.

The letter pasted below is what I have been sending out to others that I have had previous contact with online. As someone new to this community, and coming with a purpose, I can only ask that you consider the request to view the links below. I do by the way think the members of a forum such as this will enjoy our brief, 31 sec commercial. -Bill Mac


Dear friends and colleges,

The Canada Post commercial contest is now down to the finalists. The contest ends on Oct 31 and the entry from my family is in second place. We are in need of substantially more "views" in order to remain a contender. To view our entry, go to:

The counting of views is separated into English and French categories so it would also be helpful if you would view the French version by going to:

I'm proud of what we accomplished in 31 seconds and proud that it remains the highest rated of all video finalists. A lot of effort, especially by my son Daniel, went into this production. Your support through viewing and forwarding is very much appreciated.





Also, for a chance to win a $1000 video camera yourself, go to the Canada Post facebook site and simply post a comment. The link to the CPC facebook site, available from home, is: www.facebook.com/canadapost
