You've got another chance to see "The Corporation" this Wednesday night at 7:00 PM at the Art Gallery! Please distribute this message to your colleagues/friends/students: "The Corporation" Screening on December 10th, 7pm Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (AGNS) 1723 Hollis Street Cost: Pay by donation/open to the public Director Mark Achbar will be in attendance More Info please call the AGNS: 902-424-7542 This is the documentary that is based on Joel Bakan's book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power" and that played at the Atlantic Film Festival (More about the film and book: www.thecorporation.tv). The documentary won the People's Choice Awards in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, and the NFB Best Canadian Documentary Award recently in Calgary. Sorry for the short notice, but the director just told us about this screening. This is a really great eye-opening film and you will be so glad that you went to see it! 2. The Premier has been bombarded with your calls (keep em' coming - 424-6600), isolated by his fellow Premiers, surrounded with evidence, castigated by the cartoons, maybe now he needs to hear it in music. PLEASE COME OUT TO JOIN THE SEISMIC SINGERS TOMORROW (Wednesday) Speaker's Holiday Reception 2 - 4 P.M. Province House, Hollis Street - across from the Art Gallery. Musicians NEEEDDDEEDDD! Bring your drums and whistles and guitars. And, of course, your seismic singing voice - the more tone-deaf you are, the better! We are going to stop oil and gas in the Gulf. 3.

It will be held at the Canada World Youth Office, 1657 Barrington Street, suite 126 (The Roy Building). Don't miss the chance to wish friends and colleagues all the best for the holiday season! Enjoy food and drinks and the pleasure of each other's company! Everyone is welcome to join the fun! If you need any more information, please feel free to contact Jackie at 422-2933 or atlantic@cciorg.ca. 5. Don't forget to keep your toilet paper rolls and Christmas wrapping rolls to build missiles for the Halifax Peace Coalition missile launch on January 17, 2004. BUILD YOUR OWN ANTI BALLISTIC MISSILE - It will work as well to defend Canada as the US National Missile Defense at a fraction of the cost! Materials - The cardboard core from a roll of paper towels. A cone of paper (aluminum foil, optional), tape to fasten. Decorate on the outside with felt pens or decals. Insert a message or anti NMD flier in the center. VOILA! Be the first one on your block with an Anti- Ballistic Missile! Build as many as you can. Start an "arms race" on your campus, in your neighbourhood, community, province, all around Canada. Many cities across Canada will be participating and will hold a stockpile gathering together on January 17, 2004 to organize interception and launching exercises. We'll invite the media for that event. Each missile will be sent individually in an envelope to the Prime Minister in Ottawa briefly after January 17 (No postage required.). THE WORLD WILL BE A SAFER PLACE IF WE USE CARDBOARD MISSILES INSTEAD OF NUCLEAR ONES! Thanks and Happy Holidays!
