Project Democracy and Department of Culture are excited to bring you The
Yes Men live. With speakers Alice Klein for Project Democracy, Izida Zorde,
Anthea Foyer and Michael Wheeler for Department of Culture and CAW
Economist Jim Stanford.
We're organizing to ensure that we don't get another Harper government and
we need your help!
The Yes Men have become famous for impersonating company and government
officials and delivering satirical pronouncements about industry and
government practices that present a more ideal world. Their film, The Yes
Men Fix the World, won the audience award at the Berlin Film Festival, the
Grierson Award for Most Entertaining Documentary, and went on to become a
smash box-office sensation. From reparations to victims of DOW Chemical in
Bhopal, to a Canadian Climate change policy that that addresses global
health, to delivering thousands of alternate issues of The New York Times
that declare the end of the Iraq war, the Yes Men present corporate and
government officials as they should be, rather than as they are.
Join Alice Klein, CAW economist Jim Stanford, Yes Man Andy Bichelbaum and
others to imagine what a progressive Canada will look like, to support a
campaign organized to defeat the Harper government and to talk about
creative tactics and strategies!
This audio-visual extravaganza of tactics and progressive ideas is by
donation/PWYC at the door.
GET THERE EARLY! THE THEATRE HAS LIMITED SEATING.
DOORS OPEN AT 6:30 p.m.
