"Gadflies, Saboteurs, and Organizers: Activism Inside-Out" Denis Rancourt was fired from the University of Ottawa for corrupting the youth but he's not drinking the hemlock. Denis Rancourt will share his observations and critiques about First World activism. His talk explores the interrelated concepts and phenomena of solidarity, critical mass, consensus, diversity of tactics, survivor guilt, pacifism, and burnout; using many examples. In the end, he concludes that our activism is primarily a lie that we vehemently protect to guard us from the guilt of our privilege and the shame of our cowardice. There will be time for questions and discussion. September 18, 7pm SkyDragon Centre | ||

Abousfian Abdelrazik is a Canadian citizen who was detained, interrogated, and tortured in Sudan with the complicity of our own government. His six-year saga of trying to come home to his loved ones was blocked at every stage by a variety of levels of the Canadian government, including CSIS and the Department of Foreign Affairs. Abdelrazik was only allowed back when a Federal Court ordered his return. He remains on a Kafkaesque UN terror watch list. Come hear Abousfian's story. His stop in Hamilton is one of many as he travels across Canada. Location: Sponsored by: | ||
