2007 Mar 2: A convenient Oscar
Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” just won the Oscar for best documentary. Jack Layton will be screening the film on March 2 at Riverdale Collegiate Institute at 6 pm. There will be a panel discussion afterwards, so the evening will end at 10 pm. If you haven’t seen the film, take this opportunity to view it and to tell our MP what needs to be done.
Congratulations Mr. Gore. May your movie inspire politicians the world over to speedier action.
