We are partnering with Divest Waterloo for this event.
Apologies for the short notice, but hope some of you will be able to
participate.


On July 22nd, Justin Trudeau and his government will choose whether or not
to finalize their multi-billion dollar deal to buy out the Kinder Morgan
Trans Mountain pipeline.

And despite tens of thousands of people calling on the government to hold
public pipeline consultations, they’re making the decision without talking
to people.

Join us on *Wednesday July 11* for a screening of *“Directly Affected”*-- a
film that details all the risks this pipeline poses to people and the
planet. Learn about the project the Trudeau government has decided to buy
out with billions in public money. After all, as taxpayers, we are all
Trans Mountain’s new shareholders now and we should know where our money’s
going.

Following the film, Chief Myeengun Henry (Chippewas of the Thames) and Dr.
Angela Carter (BSIA Fellow and Assistant Professor in the Department of
Political Science at UW) will reflect on the film and lead a discussion
about the Canadian government's buyout of Kinder Morgan's pipeline and
tanker project.

Members of Parliament from Kitchener and Waterloo will be invited to attend
the town-hall and participate in the discussion. Join us for an engaging
film, great food and an important conversation!
