Don't miss this incredible evening - we're going to have a lot of fun.

About the Book:

"The science is settled" has become both a mantra for political activists who believe in man-made global warming and a club to beat down anyone who opposes their anti-industrial, anti-capitalism agenda. But is it true? This is the question that David Solway set out to answer in layman terms. His conclusion: the preponderance of evidence refutes the activist's dogma. In Global Warning: The Trials of an Unsettled Science, Solway presents the "science" in a style suited to the average citizen who wants nothing more than to learn the truth.

About the Author:

David Solway is the author of many books of poetry including Modern Marriage, which received the QSPELL Prize for Poetry; Franklin's Passage, winner of Le Grand Prix du Livre de Montréal and Reaching for Clear, awarded the A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry. Among his prose publications, Education Lost won the QSPELL Prize for Nonfiction and Random Walkswas a finalist for Le Grand Prix du Livre de Montréal. A French translation of his writings on education, Le bon prof, was awarded Le Prix Spirale. He has also published two volumes on political subjects, The Big Lie: On Terror, Antisemitism, and Identity and Hear, O Israel!.

What People Are Saying:

"Nowhere will you find a more succinct, yet penetrating and comprehensive, account of the whole man-made global-warming fiasco than David Solway's book -- in which he cogently sums up the hucksters' and hysterics' arguments, dismantles them with surgical precision, and, in closing, ponders with wit and insight the all-important question: how is it that such nonsensical ideas were formulated, disseminated, and so widely embraced in the first place?"
     Bruce Bawer, author, While Europe Slept

"David Solway has written an elegant takedown of the biggest, most costly and most dangerous hoax in modern times."
     David Horowitz, FrontPage Magazine

"For the layman who wishes to be thoroughly informed but does not have time to read all the primary sources, David Solway has provided a definitive and accessible account of the flaws in the so-called science of global warming."
     Janice Fiamengo, Professor of English, University of Ottawa

"Besides deftly snipping every crackpot theory to bits -- making Global Warning the indispensable "climate change" reference -- this wise and wonderful little book has deeper questions to ponder. "It is the weather of the soul that changed for the worse," Solway writes, and if the forecast is bleak, the author's wisdom is illuminating."
     Diana West, columnist, Washington Times

"This is both a fierce and amusing look at what may well be the greatest scam of the modern age-the myth of global warming. One can only laugh and wonder at the absurdity which Solway has masterfully exposed."
     Jamie Glazov, author, United in Hate



3rd Annual Free Thinking Film Festival!!!

We've got an amazing Festival this year!

The Festival will feature four major events:  On November 1st, the Festival will open with "Losing Our Sons", a poignant tale of two fathers who have lost their sons - one through terrorism, and one through indoctrination.  On November 2nd, the Festival features the Canadian premiere of "Death by China", a film about the increasingly destructive economic trade practices of a rapidly rising China with author Greg Autry in attendance.  On Saturday, November 3rd, Producer Michael King will be on hand to introduce the film, "The Rescuers" about diplomats who saved Jews during the Holocaust, and the Festival will end with a tribute to Raoul Wallenberg - a celebration of his 100th birthday in association with B'nai Brith Canada.

Other films include "The Invisible Men," about the plight of gay Palestinians; "Windfall," about the pitfalls of wind power; "Freedom's Fury," a look at the "blood in the water" water polo match between the Soviet Union and Hungary at the Olympics in 1956; "Their Eyes Were Dry," a film about the massacre of teenagers in Ma'alot in Israel by Palestinian terrorists in 1974; "Occupy Unmasked," a hard look at the Occupy movement; "21 Brothers," a Canadian film about World War I; "The Red Chapel," a comedy that exposes North Korea's totalitarian system; "Putin's Kiss", a documentary on the brutality of the Putin regime; "Winston Churchill:  Walking With Destiny," examines why Winston Churchill's legacy continues to be relevant in the 21st Century; "Why Is It Hate?," Martin Gladstone's film on why Queers Against Israeli Apartheid bring a message of hate to Toronto's Gay Pride; and many, many other films.

In addition, three authors will be in Ottawa to launch their books.  Bruce Bawer, the acclaimed American author, will read from his new book, "The Victims Revolution:  The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind;" Pierre Desrochers will present on two of his books:  "The Locavore's Dilemma: In Praise of the 10,000-mile Diet", and "The False Crises of Rachel Carson:  Silent Spring at 50", and Arpad Szoczi will present his book, "Timisoara - The Real Story Behind the Romanian Revolution."

Macdonald-Laurier Institute
The Great Canadian Debates


Our friends at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute are holding some debates that you should probably attend:

The Great Canadian Debates, a series of four provocative debates exploring some of the most compelling issues to Canadians. Each debate will be presented at the Canadian War Museum and will feature well-known personalities and a moderator. Audience members are invited to get involved by posing questions during a Q&A session and voting for the winning argument. Following the debate, the evening also includes private access to the War Musem's special exhibit.

We'll have a table at their next debate which is on October 4th on the CBC.  Come visit us, please!

Free Mobile Applications!

Sincerely,


Frederick Litwin
