Directed by Avi Lewis, and inspired by Naomi Klein’s international best-seller book, the film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond. Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein’s narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. She asks: Can we seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better? </font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class=""><a href="https://socialistaction.ca" class="">https://socialistaction.ca</a></font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class="">---------------------------------------<br class="">---------------------------------------</font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" color="#e63b7a" class=""><b style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Yoga and Wellness Show</b></font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class="">Sept. 30 - Oct 2</font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class="">Queen Elizabeth Building, 180 Princes' Blvd</font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class="">Vendors, speakers, yoga & interactive dance classes, info on naturopathy, nutrition, spirituality and more. $8/ day (online) passes $16-$21, kids under 12 free.</font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class=""><a href="http://www.yogawellnessshow.com" class="">http://www.yogawellnessshow.com</a></font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class=""><br class="">---------------------------------------<br class="">---------------------------------------</font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" size="2" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" class=""><b style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><font color="#5e30eb" class="">Demonstrate for $15 and Fairness<br class=""></font></b><font size="2" class="">Sat.
