10:30am
- 12:00pm
Wednesday September 16 2015
Venue: Unifor Regional Office
Address: 63 Otter Lake Court in Bayers Lake
Michael Harris will be the special guest speaker at a meeting sponsored by the Halifax Unifor Retirees and the NS Federation of Union Retirees (NSFUR) at 10:30 am on Wednesday, September 16. Everyone is welcome to attend, not just retirees.
It will be held in the main meeting room at the Unifor Regional Office in Halifax, 63 Otter Lake Court in Bayers Lake. Michael will talk about his new book “Party of One, Stephen Harper and Canada’s Radical Makeover” in context of the upcoming Federal election and other issues and then host a question and answer session.
Michael Harris is a writer, journalist, and documentary filmmaker. He was awarded a Doctor of Laws for his “unceasing pursuit of justice for the less fortunate among us.” His eight books include Justice Denied, Unholy Orders, Rare ambition, Lament for an Ocean, and Con Game. His work has sparked four commissions of inquiry, and three of his books have been made into movies.
The Toronto Star says his book Party of One, Stephen Harper and Canada’s Radical Makeover is “a devastating critique of Canada’s present government and it is fair to say that author Michael Harris believes the prime minister to be a clear and present danger — an existential threat — to Canada’s democracy”.
The Unifor Office is located at 63 Otter Lake Court in Bayers Lake in Halifax. For more information please call Joan Wark at 902.454.6735.
