Unmasking the history of Canada's economic dependence on the United States, How To Buy A Country explores what it would look like if we finally stepped out of the shadow of our southern neighbour and carved a new path, more independent path.

Tune in this July to learn about efforts to strengthen peace, oppose further military expansion, and support a sustainable, nuclear-free Pacific. For many communities across the Pacific, 2026 Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) military exercises scheduled for 24 June - 31 July represent a continued expansion of militarization in the region. These large-scale war exercises heighten regional tensions, increase the risk of conflict, and divert resources away from addressing the urgent social, economic, and environmental challenges facing the region. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://actionnetwork.org/events/ppn-webinar-building-an-ocean-of-peace/">https://actionnetwork.org/events/ppn-webinar-building-an-ocean-of-peace/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>A Breath of Clean Air: Building Climate Resilience by Improving Indoor Air Quality<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Sat.
