John Ibbitson on Stephen Harper<\/a>
\nHosted by Andrew Cohen
\nSeptember 8 @ 7PM – Centretown United Church<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“He is a lion in autumn, weaker than in his prime, but still a force of nature. He faces his fifth and perhaps final, test as national leader. But in a way, the result won’t matter. Whether Stephen Harper wins of loses the general election on October 19 is moot. He has already reshaped Canada. And Canada will not easily be changed back”
\nSo begins John Ibbitson’s biography of Stephen Harper. We’ll get an inside look at the man who has been leading and shaping Canada for the past nine years and is presently fighting to hold onto his position as Prime Minister. No matter which party you are planning on voting for, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Click here<\/a> for tickets and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was 1964 that Buffy Sainte-Marie released the album It’s My Way! kicking off a five-decade-career of songs that challenged systems, inspired hearts and united spirits. Now the same song has been re-envisioned on her latest Polaris Prize nominated album Power in the Blood. The day before Buffy finds out if she’s won, we are proud to present her in conversation with Polaris Prize Grand Jury member Alan Neal, host of CBC’s All in a Day<\/a>. Click here <\/a>for tickets and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
