a FLEURY of activity in Winnipeg!
Oops, i mean flurry. Sorry Wings fans!
So last night, former Chilliwack Chiefs (B.C. Junior A League) left-winger Yves Engler spoke at Mondragon here in Winnipeg about his new book entitled "The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy". I highly encourage all Canadians -- especially those still clinging to the myth that Canada is a shining example of a force for good in the world -- to track this book down and give it your undivided attention. Our homey Jordy-Boy helped organize the whole event (along with other members of CHAN) and did a fuckin great job.
Although we'll be out of town for them, there are a few other really great events coming up at Mondragon in the next little bit that people should take note of. Two that really stick out in my mind are "Building a Highway of Hope: Documentary Screening and Discussion" with Jessica Yee on Wednesday June 17th at 7pm at 91 Albert Street and "Turning the Economic Crisis to Good Use: Robin Hahnel" on Saturday, June 20th at 7:30pm also at 91 Albert Street.
Also happening in Winnipeg next week is the 2nd (i think?) annual Winnipeg Anarchist Book Fair & DIY festival. So grab your patches and dirty up those pants as if you don't have access to running water (calm down, just joking) and get down there for some different ideas about how people can organize their lives and their workplaces!
