SUMMARY:After the Sands: Gordon Laxer’s book tour across the Maritimes
DESCRIPTION:Gordon Laxer’s book tour across the Maritimes: Oct 24–28 \nAuthor’s presentations promise to bring rare insight & controversy to today’s debates on Canada’s transition to a low carbon future\ \nGordon Laxer\, author of the award-winning book After the Sands\, will be on a speaking and book-signing tour through PEI\, Nova Scotia\, and New Brunswick from October 24 – 28 \nGordon Laxer’s After the Sands outlines a vision to transition Canada to a low-carbon society. Ralph Nader hails it as “a myth-destroying blockbuster book.” \nDespite its oil abundance\, Canada is woefully unprepared for the next global oil supply crisis. Canada imports 30 percent of its oil\, yet—unlike twenty-seven of the other twenty-nine member countries in the International Energy Agency—has no strategic petroleum reserves to meet temporary shortages. Canadians use much more oil per capita than other sparsely populated\, northern countries like Norway and Sweden. \nAfter the Sands sets out a bold strategy using deep conservation and a Canada-first perspective. The goal: to ensure that lower-income Canadians get sufficient energy at affordable prices in a carbon-constrained future and prevent the rich from cornering reduced energy supplies. \n“Is Prime Minister Trudeau taking bold action on climate change or blowing hot air? Trudeau promised big at the Paris climate talks last December that Canada would lead in keeping the world below a two degree Celsius global temperature rise. Yet instead of striding boldly forward\, Ottawa took a baby step by placing a paltry $50 a tonne tax on carbon. That will raise gasoline prices a measly 11 cents a litre by 2022. That’s two cents a year more starting in 2018. Why would we expect an 11 cent boost over six years to do anything when pump prices 30 to 40 cents a litre higher in 2014 than today did not curb Canadians harmful carbon fuel use? The Trudeau government is artfully deceiving Canadians that it’s tackling one of the biggest crises of our time\,” charged Gordon Laxer \n“Why aren’t we having a debate in Atlantic Canada about the region supplying itself with its own oil instead of running a pipeline 4\,600 kilometres from Alberta to New Brunswick\,” asks Gordon Laxer. “Newfoundland has enough non-fracked\, conventional oil to supply all east coast Canadians with the most secure oil of all –its own. Most Atlantic Canadians live on or near a coast. Why pipe oil from afar when tankers can ship all they need from Newfoundland’s oil fields? Tankers can be phased out as Atlantic Canadians’ oil use falls in the de-carbonizing transition the world is embarking on\, whereas an oil pipeline would have to pump harmful Alberta bitumen at full volume for at least 30 years to pay off the costs of building the pipeline. How would this help wean us off carbon fuels?” \n  \n\n\n\n\nWinner of the Errol Sharpe Book award \nFinalist for the J.W. Dafoe Book Prize \n  \n“The extraction of Alberta bitumen dooms both control of climate change and Canada’s transition to clean energy. No one has made this linkage more persuasively than Gordon Laxer.” \n  \nProfessor Patrick Bond\, University of KwaZulu-Natal. South Africa \n  \nWeb: www.gordonLaxer.com \nTwitter: @afterthesands \n  \nGordon can be reached for interviews by cell at 705-330-4589 or by email at gordon.laxer@ualberta.ca\n\n\n\n  \nTour Schedule \n\nCharlottetown – Monday\, October 24 – 7 p.m.\n\nMurphy’s Community Centre\, Room 207\, 200 Richmond Street \n  \n\nFredericton\, N.

SUMMARY:The Yes Men are Revolting - film screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free public film screening of\n“The Yes Men are Revolting” (2014\, 90mins) \nRoom 301 \nhttps://www.cinemapolitica.org/film/yes-men-are-revolting \nThe sequel to the hit 2003 documentary follows activist-pranksters Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonnano as they pull the rug out from under mega-corporations\, government officials and a complacent media in a series of outrageous stunts designed to draw awareness to the issue of climate change. \nFans of comic documentaries can rejoice. If you’ve never heard of the Yes Men\, you’re in for a treat; if you’ve followed their antics in earlier films\, you’ll delight in a new barrage. Either way\, you’ll find in this film a fresh reflection on the question: How does one sustain a life of activism? \nTHE YES MEN ARE REVOLTING chronicles the past five years of pranksters Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno (not their real names)\, the infamous activists known for duping the media with their impersonations of corporate shills and government stooges. At this stage of their career\, the Yes Men have climate change at the top of their agenda\, which takes them to Washington\, Copenhagen\, Uganda\, and the Albertan tar sands. Laura Nix and the Yes Men team up as directors\, recording every step of Bichlbaum and Bonanno’s journey as they meet with collaborators and pull off their witty stunts. Their planning and execution is filled with anxiety and improvisation\, some pranks fizzling while others turn into media whirlwinds — and one case brings a threat of legal action more serious than any the Yes Men have ever encountered before. \nBut things become even more challenging as the pair enters a new chapter in their lives. Having crossed into middle age\, Bichlbaum and Bonanno now have more at stake than did their younger selves. The stress of nurturing relationships presents greater complications to their lifestyle\, giving rise to tensions that threaten to fracture the duo’s long partnership. Even as they question their future\, they move forward with one more daring action\, gathering a roomful of defence contractors and government officials under absurdly false pretenses. You won’t want to miss how it turns out. \nAdmission is always free and films are all open to the public. Followed by moderated discusssion. \nThe The Radical Imagination Project\, in partnership with the Cinema Politica Network and the Halifax Public Librariesis pleased to bring you this series of documentary films to stir the sould and evoke the struggle for a better society. Please see our other events for more information\, or visithttp://radicalimagination.org/

SUMMARY:Halifax Make Muskrat Right: Land and Water Protectors
DESCRIPTION:Solidarity event\nPeaceful protest for Saturday Oct 22 from 12 – 2pm\nCanada- don’t gamble with Inuit Lives \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/648615788649064/ \nIn the future Nova Scotia rate-payers will be buying electricity from Muskrat Falls via the NSPI-owned Maritime Transmission Link. As Nova Scotians we have a responsibility to help Make Muskrat Right. Come show your support in solidarity with groups across the country demonstrating and supporting Labradorians. \nDetails:\nOur family and friends are protesting on the front lines of the Muskrat Falls Project in Labrador\, to prevent potential Human Rights Violations. \nWe are calling on the province of Newfoundland and Labrador\, Minister of Environment Perry Trimper and the development company Nalcor to STOP the MUSKRAT FALLS “DEVELOPMENT” and DESTRUCTION NOW and to ultimately remove all organic materials from the area\, that is proposed to be flooded and dammed. \nIf the organic material is not removed it can result in methylmercury contamination\, which will poison our people\, as we still rely on the land for our food\, fish\, water\, berries\, wild life\, etc.\nNot only does this affect all Labradorians as a potential Human Rights Violation\, but it is also affecting inherent rights of all the Indigenous peoples in Labrador. It will adversely affect the ability to practice culture\, eat traditional foods and live a traditional lifestyle.\nThe actions of the government and “development” companies will affect the health and well being of the animals and plant life in the area. This will affect the health of Labradorians\, the cultural practices of Indigenous peoples\, and the way of life for all those who live in the area. \nQuoting President of Nunatsiavut Johannes Lampe:\n“The concerns over methylmercury contamination are real\, and to proceed with flooding without fully clearing will clearly violate our human and indigenous rights. This project has to be stopped now before it’s too late.” \nQuoting Globe and Mail\n“the water will be contaminated with unacceptable levels of methylmercury if too many trees are left to rot at the bottom of the reservoir. The neurotoxin is linked to heart issues\, intellectual problems in children and other effects.[…]The project is upstream from 2\,000 Inuit in the Lake Melville region who rely on fish and seal meat” \nOur brother Billy Gauthier is on his seventh day of a hunger strike to elicit some response from the government. Many people have been arrested for blocking the worksite at Muskrat Falls\, and our people continue to peacefully fight for the land!! \nPLEASE COME OUT AND SUPPORT LABRADORIANS WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS\, LANDS\, HEALTH\, and SAFETY!! \nwww.makemuskratright.com\nhttps://www.change.org/p/end-this-man-s-hunger-tell-nalcor-government-to-clear-muskrat-falls-reservoir

SUMMARY:Hit and Stay: A History of Faith and Resistance film screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free public film screening of\n“Hit and Stay: A History of Faith and Resistance film screening”(2013\, 97mins) \nRoom 301 \nhttps://www.cinemapolitica.org/film/hit-stay-history-faith-and-resistance \nOn May 17\, 1968\, nine Catholic activists entered a Selective Service office in suburban Catonsville\, Maryland\, dragged stacks of Draft Board records out into the parking lot\, and set them on fire with homemade napalm. They then prayed\, and waited to be arrested. In doing so\, they kindled a wave of similar protests against the Vietnam War across the country that swept up dozens of participants and inspired thousands\, and then millions. HIT & STAY\, a new documentary film by Joe Tropea and Skizz Cyzyk tells the story of the Nine and those who joined them in protesting the war. \nThe Catonsville Nine action had been preceded by a quartet of activists—including Catonsville Nine participant\, Father Philip Berrigan—splashing blood on draft files in nearby Baltimore. But it was Catonsville that galvanized the nonviolent antiwar resistance away from protest marches and toward direct actions by ordinary citizens against draft boards. This new form of protest quickly spread to similar actions in Washington\, D.C.\, New York\, Milwaukee\, and all across the country\, drawing the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as the increasingly antiwar American public. \nThrough interviews with many of the participants (as well as observers ranging from linguist political critic Noam Chomsky to historian Howard Zinn)\, HIT & STAY explores the early actions\, the activists going to prison or going underground\, the FBI’s pushback against the movement\, the escalating scale and stakes\, and the ultimate victory of the protesters in the trial of the Camden 28. \nAdmission is always free and films are all open to the public. Followed by moderated discusssion. \nThe Radical Imagination Project\, in partnership with the Cinema Politica Network and the Halifax Public Libraries is pleased to bring you this series of documentary films to stir the sould and evoke the struggle for a better society.

The employer has demanded extraordinarily serious wage and benefit rollbacks\, the erosion of pay equity language in the Collective Agreement which has for many years ensured gender-based wage parity\, and has announced their intent to do severe cutbacks in the newsroom. Further\, the employer is attempting to weaken the jurisdiction of the union by attempting to remove a number of positions from the bargaining union or eliminate those positions and replace them with freelancers who are working on piecework contracts with no benefits or seniority. \nBring flags and banners! \nInvite your friends and circulate widely to all union members\, allies and supporters!

SUMMARY:Information Picket\, Canada Post Review
DESCRIPTION:The Liberal government has launched a review of Canada Post. On September 13\, the appointed Task Force released their “discussion paper”\, which was written with no public consultation\, little dialogue with CUPW but LOTS of conversation with CPC management\, resulting in them taking CPC’s financial projections at face value. The conclusions in the discussion paper reinforces every bit of propaganda that Canada Post and right-wing groups have been trying to perpetuate since 2011. \nFrom September 26 to October 7\, public consultations will be conducted by the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. CUPW has learned that each meeting will only be 3 hours and speakers will be limited to 5 minutes to address the Committee. \nTo ensure that the Liberal government knows we expect them to take this process seriously and conduct it fairly\, CUPW Nova Local plans to hold an information picket outside of the consultation at the Delta Halifax at 1990 Barrington Street in Halifax on October 4 with our members and our allies

SUMMARY:Treaty Truckhouse resistance at Province House.
DESCRIPTION:Monday October 3rd\, 2016\nMy father\, the late Chief Reg Maloney\, always attended Province House to renew our side of the treaty. I will also attend the Province House to renew our side of the treaty. Unfortunately\, Premiere McNeil will not be there\, so we will be sending a press release and a show of quiet resistance against NS failures to act honourable to the Mikkmaq and our resistance to Alton gas. \nHowever\, it is quiet resistance due to the awards ceremony for Mikmaq elder and youth. \nEach Mikmaq and Ally can decide to attend inside or outside the house. \nThere will be a peaceful and artistic presence of the Treaty Truckhouse resistance at Province House.\nSo\, let us all get creative in what that show of resistance will be.
