Monday,
October 15, 4pm - Discussion on Media & Democracy
Ginger Press
Bookshop and Cafe, 848 Second Avenue E, Owen Sound
What exactly do the words
"democracy" and "media" mean to you? Is democracy a political and social mode
which gives everyone a voice? Is it a system in which the majority rules? Is
equality a necessary element of democracy or is a democracy something in which
some are more equal than others? What do we mean by citizenship? Is democracy a
right, or a privilege?
Everyone is invited to join in. No
charge.
Saturday, October 20th - Our friends at Homes Not Bombs have
asked us to join a Cross-Canada Day of Action as new

Immediately free the five from all conditions or charge them and provide them
with a full, fair, and open trial;
3. End deportation proceedings
against the five;
4. End deportations to torture; and
5. Close
"Guantanamo North”.
