WHY WE FIGHT
Free Screening

Fri. January 7, 7:30 - 9:30pm
Centre of Gravity, 1300 Gerrard St. East, Toronto

You are invited to a free screening of the film, 'Why We Fight' -- which
deals with the concept and escalation of the 'military-industrial complex,'
generally, and that phenomenon in the U.S. more particularly.

Helping us through discussions of issues associated with this film will be
Dr. Peter Langille, PhD in Peace Studies from the University of Bradford,
Advisor to the UN and other governments about issues of international
peacekeeping. Dr. Langille also has authored several books, including
Changing the Guard: Canada's Defence in a World in Transition.

Let's launch 2011 with a spark - a Non-Nuclear one!

Do you want four more reactors leaking tritium into Lake Ontario? Do we need thousands more tonnes of radioactive waste? Ontario's plan to build more reactors at the Darlington site goes before an environmental assessment panel in the spring, but anyone wanting to make an oral or written comment must file by January 13, 2011. 

This is an opportunity to be heard! All it takes is an email [http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5654/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5028 ]. The pro-nuke lobby keeps telling the government not to worry, only a handful of zealots care. We can prove them wrong by sending hundreds of emails! 

We have drafted a quick note for you to send right away in order to register. In a few weeks, we will prepare a sample submission for you to send.

Be sure to tell your friends.
