Nova Scotia & Canada at the Crossroads: Sustainability or Militarism?

Tuesday, June 29 7:30-9:00 p.m.
Room 224, Student Union Building, Dalhousie University, 6136
University Avenue, Halifax

Free public lecture. Join us in a critical dialogue about the troubling rise of militarism in our country and our province and how this threatens the progress we are trying to make on sustainability.

Come to learn about the doubling of Canada's military spending and the Canada First Defence Strategy but the federal government has cut environmental and climate change programs. Learn about US weapons manufacturers lobbying our federal and provincial governments. What should be our defence and foreign policies? What is the appropriate role for our military? How can we create a culture of peace and sustainability?
