What Prospect for a Decent Future?

Sep 21, 2009
1 min read

A panel of Science for Peace members examines the current scientific evaluation of the climate-change emergency, and the hope of, even now, avoiding the worst of the predicted scenarios. They will also look at the responsibility of the University in this crisis: are our shortcomings related to the “corporatization” of the universities?

This talk stems from a study authored by Prof. John Valleau, Professor Emeritus (Chemistry) and Prof. Paul Hamel (Medicine).

Panelists include Prof. John Valleau, sociologist Prof. Magrit Eichler, psychiatrist Dr. Jim Deutsch, and doctoral candidate (religion & environment) Paul York.

When: Monday, September 21, 3:00-5:00 pm Where: South Dining Room, Hart House, University of Toronto

The panel is organized by Science for Peace as part of the Earthcycle Environment Week at the University of Toronto. See the full program of the Earthcycle Environment Week at www. earthcycle.ca

E-7705 

An important e-petition about Canada peacekeepers headcount

Science for Peace believes the UN peacekeeping mission program is an important tool for minimizing conflicts around the world. Guided by impartiality and undertaken only with the consent of warring parties, missions under this program are critical in the efforts to transition violent societies to peace.

 

We know that Canada has a long history of supporting these missions and has earned a significant reputation for its expertise in this area. Thus we have been dismayed by the fact that the actual number of Canadian peacekeepers has been drastically reduced over the last decade. Despite the paucity of our country’s contribution, we know that Canada is nonetheless recognized for its leadership and know-how.

 

We want to dramatically enlarge the contingent of Canadian Peacekeepers and play our part in the worthy project of reducing violence in this turbulent world. As well, in light of ongoing changes in Peacekeeping technology, we believe Canada should invest majorly in tech training and support for our Peacekeepers, and at the same time furnish such skill development to countries less able to provide this for their own contingents.

 

To focus public attention on this critical issue, we have created an e-petition to the government and are seeking your support.

Please have a look and sign e-7705 if you agree.
