THE CRISIS OF CIVILIZATION - Quebec premiere
Monday, January 14th, 7:00pm until 9:00pm
Concordia University, Room H110
A documentary that offers a stunning wake-up call proving that ‘another world’ is not merely possible, but on its way.
The Crisis of Civilization is a documentary feature film investigating how global crises like ecological disaster, financial meltdown, dwindling oil reserves, terrorism and food shortages are converging symptoms of a single, failed global system.
Weaving together archival film footage and animations, film-maker Dean Puckett, animator Lucca Benney and international security analyst Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed – author of A User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization: And How to Save It – offer a stunning wake-up call proving that ‘another world’ is not merely possible, but on its way Like the book on which it is based, the film consists of seven parts which explore the interconnected dynamic of global crises of Climate Catastrophe; Peak Energy; Peak Food; Economic Instability; International Terrorism; and the Militarization Tendency – with a final section on The Post-Peak World.
The film reveals how a failure to understand the systemic context of these crises, linked to neoliberal ideology, has generated a tendency to deal not with their root structural causes, but only with their symptoms. This has led to the proliferation of war, terror, and state-terror, including encroachment on civil liberties, while accelerating global crises rather than solving them. The real solution, Nafeez argues, is to recognise the inevitability of civilizational change, and to work toward a fundamental systemic transformation based on more participatory forms of living, politically, economically and culturally. Also featuring clowns, car crashes, explosions, acrobats, super heroes, xylophones and much, much more!

Direct Producer-Consumer Relationships in Japanese Food: A Lecture Series

Concordia University, Pavillion Henry F. Hall Building, Room H1120,1455 De Maisonneuve W.

Aspects of Japan’s unique culture and society within the movement will be highlighted. In the case of organic produce, for example, certification systems have not been popular in Japan; such produce tends to be handled through informal, face-to-face relationships instead, relying on mutual psychological and social commitments to make this relationship possible and effective. Through this lecture, participants will learn how such relationships work, why, and what Canada may be able to learn from the Japanese experience.

If you are interested in hosting the next vegan potluck at your place, please come to this potluck to let use know you're interested! :)
It's happening again!
Bring any vegan dish, appetizer, soup, salad, casserole, dessert or drinks and your appetite and join us for an evening of amazing vegan food, fun and fellowship. Come show off your vegan culinary skills and enjoy everybody else's delicious contribution, but please make sure that everything you bring is vegan (that also means things should be free of honey).
- R.S.V.P.s are appreciated but not necessary
- The invitation to this potluck is open to anybody... invite whom you please! Each potluck draws more new faces, and I hope that trend continues =D
- If you bring a dip, it's advisable to bring something we can enjoy it with. Veggies, bread, or nachos generally fill the role.
- You're welcome to use our kitchen to prepare your contribution. :)
- Be sure to come early so you don't miss out on any of the great dishes!
