[Tamara Lorincz]

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the great civil rights leader and
Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

In 1967 he said, "Our only hope today lies in our ability to capture the
revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring
eternal hostility to poverty, racism and militarism." -Martin Luther King

To carry on Dr. King's legacy, please let the Canadian government know that
you do not want it to spend our tax dollars on stealth fighters but instead
on health, education and the environment: *Pre-budget federal online
consultations here:

Provincial pre-budget consultations here: https://backtobalance.gov.ns.ca/

and schools and want investments there!

(25) WORKSHOP ON EXPLORATIONS IN NON-VIOLENCE WITH JAMES LONEY TATAMAGOUCHE
CENTRE
James Loney, Christian Peacemaker Team member held captive in Iraq for 118
days, is coming to Tatamagouche Centre March 16 - 18 to lead a workshop on
Explorations in Non-Violence.  Loney says "the crucible of captivity was a
kind of school in which I was able to see the innermost workings of the
universe, how we are all connected, how our liberation is inextricably tied
together. I want to share this story in the hope of contributing to the
emergence of a world without war, the single greatest challenge of the 21st
century. Everything depends on this, for without peace nothing else is
possible."  Loney has served as a Christian Peacemaker in Palestine, Iraq
and in Esgenoopetitj First Nation (Burnt Church), New Brunswick and is the
author of "James Loney: 118 days in Iraq". In this workshop, drawing on the
tradition of Christian peacemaking, Loney will support participants to
consider non-violence as both a way of life and a strategy for
transformative social change in their own current local and global contexts.
In writing of Loney's work, Jean Vanier, founder of L'Arche communities said
"In a world of violence there are still many men and women who believe in
working for peace to the risk of following Jesus to the very end. May many
be inspired by Loney's story to be peacemakers not just in Iraq but where we
are in our everyday lives."
James Loney's workshop "Explorations in Non-Violence" will held at
Tatamagouche Centre Friday March 16, 7pm to Sunday noon, March 18. The
workshop is open to all interested in establishing a more peaceful world
through non-violence. For further information or to register for this event,

(29) THE YES MEN PRESENT: CREATIVE MISCHIEF EXPLOSION 2012
Apr 13 - Apr 15, 2012 Fri 7:00 PM - Sun 1:00 PM $585.00
"The Yes Men are the Jonathan Swift of the Jackass generation" - Naomi Klein
(Author: No Logo, and The Shock Doctrine). The Yes Men are a pair of
notorious troublemakers who sneak into corporate events disguised as
captains of industry, then use their momentary authority to expose the
biggest criminals on the planet.THE YES MEN (Andy Bichlbaum and Mike
Bonanno) have gained international acclaim and notoriety for exposing
dehumanizing business practices and helping to keep critical issues in the
international spotlight. They do this through impersonating representatives
of powerful corporations and government organizations such as ExxonMobil,
McDonald's, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. THE
YES MEN's famed hoaxes include a collaboratively produced fake New York
Times announcing the end of the Iraq War, a phony George W. Bush website
celebrating the unsavory details of the then-Presidential candidate, and the
false announcement of the World Trade Organization's dissolution in order to
shift focus to helping the poor.
Join us for this interactive, engaging workshop to hear about their exploits
and to plan and design your own. 
Program Cost: $585 ($430 tuition + $155 meals/accommodations) 
Please register at least 2 weeks in advance to secure your place in this
program.

Vision and Action Plan as a discussion document with recommendations to the
Office of the Premier by mid-March 2012. 
The task force as a committee of Community Transit-Nova Scotia with members
from the project partners and other key stakeholders is the guiding body of
this project and met in November 2011 to set terms of reference and a
framework for the discussion document. 
The task force will meet again in January 2012 to review, advise and support
next steps.
To achieve our project deadline and to engage as many diverse voices across
the province as possible, we have just launched an individual online survey
during the month of January.

"A better world is possible"

"Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary
spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility
to poverty, racism, and militarism." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1967

"Without a doubt, military spending represents the single most significant
perversion of worldwide priorities known today." Former President of Costa
Rica, Oscar Arias, 1999
