Time: 7:00 PM
Place: The Hive, Lockhart Hall, University of Winnipeg (map)

Join us for a discussion with Yves Engler and Owen Schalk about their latest book, entitled Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy, which documents Canadian government support for the overthrow of some 20 democractically elected governments since the end of World War 2.
Yves Engler is a Montréal-based activist and author who has published 12 books. In recent years Yves has sought to mobilize activists to confront politicians through peaceful, direct action. He has interrupted about two dozen speeches/press conferences by the prime minister, ministers and opposition party leaders to question their militarism, anti-Palestinian positions, climate policies, imperialism in Haiti and efforts to topple Venezuela’s government. Read more about Yves, here.
Owen Schalk is a writer from rural Manitoba. In addition to co-authoring Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy, he is a columnist at Canadian Dimension magazine and the author of Canada in Afghanistan: A story of military, diplomatic, political and media failure, 2003-2023. He is currently working on his third book, which details Canada’s role in the 2011 NATO war on Libya.

In the last 35 years, NATO has left a trail of death and destruction from its interventions in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and now Ukraine.
This action is part of a week of actions across Canada led by Canada Wide Peace and Justice Network demanding No to NATO, Canada Out of NATO and Nature not NATO. CWPJN is a network of 49 peace, social justice, antiwar and climate justice organizations across Canada. This week of action is also in solidarity with the No to NATO, Yes to Peace counter-summit and protest being held in Washington DC from July 6-7 – nonatoyespeace.org.

Winnipeg Lanterns for Peace 2024
2024-08-06 19:30 - 22:00 | Manitoba Legislative Building – South Plaza, Manitoba, Canada
Date: Tuesday, Aug 6, 2024
Time: 7:30 pm
Place: the south side of the Manitoba Legislative Building
79 years ago, the world was introduced to the horrors of nuclear war. The death, destruction and suffering that resulted from the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on Aug 6 and 9, 1945 meant that the world had changed for the worse. Nothing would ever be the same. The mushroom clouds that arose over Japan cast a shadow that menaces every living creature, even today.
In 1945 the United States had a monopoly on nuclear power; today, nine countries have their own nuclear arsenals and many more, via NATO, are set up to use these weapons. Even more alarming is the present conflict in Ukraine which pits a nuclear armed Russia against a nuclear-armed NATO.
Therefore, we gather annually to remember people whose lives were lost in August 1945, to remember the survivors whose lives were unalterably damaged, and to reaffirm our commitment to the abolition all nuclear weapons.
Please join us for our annual Lanterns for Peace ceremony. Beginning at 7:30 pm we paint lanterns and make origami cranes. (We provide the art supplies; you contribute your imagination and creativity.) At 9: 15 pm, following a short program of speeches, we float our lanterns in the fountain as the sun sets. (Note: If you wish to be seated during the speeches, please bring a lawn chair.)
It is a beautiful ceremony, rich with meaning and one which can be enjoyed by the whole family. If you have never been to one, here is a playlist of videos of Lantern Ceremonies over the years.

Webinar: Defending Venezuela Against US-Led Coup Attempt
2024-08-25 11:00 - 13:00 | Manitoba
Where: Online, via Zoom. Register at https://bit.ly/VzlaElections3
When: Sunday, August 25, 2024
Time: 11 am Winnipeg Time
The presidential election in Venezuela, held on July 28, concluded with the re-election of President Nicolás Maduro for the next presidential term (2025-2031), who won with about 51.9% of the votes according to the second bulletin of the National Electoral Council (CNE). Although he received a little over 7% more votes than his nearest rival, Edmundo González Urrutia of the far-right coalition Unitary Platform, the ultra-right opposition has refused to recognise the results, claiming that President Maduro and the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) carried out an electoral fraud.
Just after the initial declaration of the results in the early morning hours of July 29 and the far-right’s non-recognition of the same, violent protests erupted in several parts of Venezuela, causing widespread material and human losses, including loss of lives, reminiscent of the guarimbas of 2014 and 2017 and the violence accompanying the Guaidó coup attempt in 2019. In parallel, the data transmission system of the CNE suffered an unprecedented cyberattack that delayed the transmission of results. Taking advantage of this situation, far-right politician María Corina Machado published falsified voting minutes as “evidence” of electoral fraud and launched a media campaign presenting González Urrutia as the “winner” of the July 28 election. This has been repeated and inflated by mainstream media outlets across the world as well as on social media. As expected, the United States declared González as the “president” of Venezuela, and some of its vassals in Latin America and Europe have followed suit.
Was there really an electoral fraud in Venezuela? Is there a possibility of executing such a fraud and stealing an election in Venezuela? There were more than 900 international electoral observers and 1,300 foreign journalists present in the country who witnessed the electoral process. What do they have to say about the election and the fraud claims? To hear directly from some such observers and journalists, International Manifesto Group and Orinoco Tribune are jointly organising a webinar on August 25, 2024, where we will be joined by a number of experts who were present in Venezuela during the electoral process.

Rally: Arms Embargo Now!
2024-11-16 12:00 - 13:00 | CBC Manitoba, 541 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba
CANADA IS STILL ARMING GENOCIDE – Winnipeg Action
Date: November 16, 2024,
Time: Noon
Place: in front of CBC Manitoba, 541 Portage Ave
This action is being taken in coordination with actions across Canada, led by World Beyond War (Canada). Despite the wins the Arms Embargo Now campaign has had – and despite Joly’s and Trudeau’s frequent claims to have ended the export of Canadian weapons to Israel – the flow of arms has not stopped.
On September 10 2024 Minister Joly said “We will not have any form of arms or parts of arms be sent to Gaza, period.” This is a lie. Canadian weapons are continuing to be sent to Israel and continue to be used in Gaza (and Lebanon). Here’s what the Canadian government HAS done:
• Paused issuing any new permits for weapons exports to Israel.
• Suspended 30 (or roughly 12%) of the 200+ permits that had already been issued. These active permits are for military goods that are continuing to be shipped out to Israel right now.
• Promised to stop one planned shipment of Canadian-made explosives to Israel through the US. But only after details of this one shipment (among hundreds) were revealed by fluke and provoked huge public outcry.
Here’s what the Canadian government has NOT done:
• They haven’t suspended or cancelled 88% of the permits currently being used to ship arms to Israel.
• They haven’t done anything to stop the vast majority of arms exports to Israel which don’t even need an export permit because they use a loophole that allows military goods to go to Israel via the U.S., unreported & unregulated.
• They haven’t stopped importing weapons from Israel. Canada continues to fund the Israeli war machine by purchasing Israeli weapons for the Canadian military marketed as “battle-tested” on Palestinians.
Suspending just 12% of active permits to Israel is NOT ENOUGH. Letting Canadian weapons flow to Israel via the U.S., untracked and without requiring a permit is UNACCEPTABLE. Join us!!

Venue: On Zoom
Admission: Free. You must register in advance to receive a link to the Zoom meeting. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/dmG4rAu0RhCq2toaXfAldw#/registration.
The Invisible Doctrine explores the dominant ideologies, political economy, corporate power, globalization, labour history, economic inequality, consumerism, environmental issues, the climate crisis, public relations and propaganda, social alienation, and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism. The film has a depressing topic but an inspiring conclusion, describing a truly participatory democratic political system to repair the damage neoliberalism has done – a system that appeals to us as active citizens rather than consumers and our shared social, political, and environmental commons.
After the film there will be a discussion about the film and systems change as it applies to political and economic systems.

Rally - Hands off Venezuela!
2025-11-23 13:00 - 14:00 | River Avenue and Osborne Street, Winnipeg
The United States has been meddling in Venezuelan affairs since the election of Hugo Chávez in 1999. Despite American backed coup attempts, assassination plots, and economic sanctions, the people of Venezuela have stood firm and continued to elect Chávez, and following his death in 2013, Nicolás Maduro.
More recently, under the false pretext of combatting drug smugglers, the US military has been murdering unarmed fishers (more than 70 to date) and amassing a naval fleet off the coast of Venezuela. An invasion could come at any moment.
International solidarity in opposition to America’s plans for Venezuela is building. In coordination with the Canada Wide Peace and Justice Network call for a week of emergency protests November 15–23, we are holding an information picket.
