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. Please see our other events for more information\, or visit http://radicalimagination.org/

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.

SUMMARY:Justice For Fliss Cramman
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: The location will be in the parking lot outside the courthouse facing the Dartmouth General to ensure we do not impede anyone using the hospital or disrupt patients and their families. \nhttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/ontario-woman-deportation-hearing-halifax-fliss-cramman-uk-1.3775722 \n“URGENT! URGENT! Please read and respond \nFliss Cramman is desperately ill and shackled to her bed in Dartmouth General hospital. She was imprisoned for offering to sell drugs. After she served her time it was discovered she is not a Canadian citizen – she was taken into care at age 11 after coming to Canada at age 8 and suffering sexual assault in her family. She believed that she had citizenship. \nNow they are trying to deport her despite her being a one time\, non violent offender who had been victimized her whole life\, failed by the system\, and serving her time. \nWhile they are conducting hearings she is currently chained to her bed in hospital. This should be an outage in Canada. We need to call on our government to intervene in this case and end the torture of this woman. \nI want to call a rally outside Dartmouth General to draw attention to her conditions and to call on the government to cease deportation proceedings and intervene in her shackling. This is URGENT as every day she is in shackles is too long. \nIf we call a rally for Thursday at 6PM outside Dartmouth General would people be able to attend? We need numbers to make this an issue media and government are forced to pay attention to. \nAnyone who cares about human rights should object to the shackling of a sick woman who is no risk and has served her time. If we call a rally will people stand in solidarity? This is an urgent justice issue.”

SUMMARY:Alan Syliboy: Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:NSCAD University Public Lecture Series presents Alan Syliboy \nFor First Nations artist\, activist and musician Alan Syliboy\, stories are the threads that tie the Mi’kmaq people together\, making them aware of their identity and place in the world. Join NSCAD University in welcoming Alan Syliboy to Paul O’Regan Hall and hear how he addresses the Mi’kmaq’s rich culture and traditions in his practice. Syliboy’s exhibitions “The Thundermaker” opens at the Anna Leonowens Gallery on October 11th at 5:30pm. \nBio: Alan Syliboy was born and raised in Truro and lives in the Millbrook First Nations community. Among many achievements\, in 2007 Alan took part in creating illustrations for the novel The Stone Canoe: Two LostMi’kmaq Tales\, which inspired him to continue his use of the Little Thunder character throughout his works\, even co-writing a song for his band Lonecloud\, called Little Thunder.\nIn 2009 Alan collaborated with Nance Ackerman and Paton Francis to create the animation\, Little Thunder for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics using Alan’s interesting and beautiful style. The animation showcased the true magnificence of his artwork and solidified its incredible potential. \nAlan has looked to the indigenous Mi’kmaq petroglyph tradition (rock drawings) for inspiration and developed his own artistic vocabulary out of those forms. They are both beautiful and inspirational and speak of a rich culture and tradition. He is currently working on a graphic novel which features Little Thunder.
