The UN designated today, Gandhi's birthday , as International Day of Nonviolence. In dark times, in many lands, citizens are confirming Gandhi's view that "nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind" - against tyranny, domination, injustice and war. #nonviolence
In 1960, a scientific report concluded that humanity would become extinct on Nov. 13, 2026 owing to overpopulation. Whew! One prediction proven wrong. Paraphrasing Mark Twain, the reports of humanity's extinction are highly exaggerated. Or are they? theconversation.com/scientis…
Insider trading on the $24 billion #PredictionMarket is a security threat. You can bet on how the world will end - climate apocalypse, nuclear war, pandemic, AI agents gone rogue - and make a killing.
Please note: This event will be taking place at the OISE building at 252 Bloor Street West, second floor, room 2286 in Toronto. Also on Zoom. Register at scienceforpeace.org
US #imperialism and #tariffs are signs of America's decline as an economic power. It can no longer compete with China, so it retreats into #protectionism and seizing resources such as oil in Venezuela. And this pattern is unlikely to change. jacobin.com/2026/09/trump-em…
What irony that leftist parties attract educated and comparatively well-off support while the "working class" (those lacking tertiary education), drift to far-right populism, especially in the US and the UK. What can be done?welcomestack.org/p/the-long-…
On the impending #tradewar, Bill Clinton offers a clear explanation of the significance of the refusal of #Canada to bow to demands that pertain not only to bilateral trade but also to US control of Canadian policies. WE are not a vassal state. youtube.com/watch?v=Aef4RDOA…
Why does the US keep losing #wars - in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and #Iran - despite its superior military resources? Mainly because they initiated the wrong wars: flimsy rationales for wars opponents could win just by outlasting them. #uswar foreignpolicy.com/2026/08/05…
The US National Academy of Sciences produces a manual that includes a section on how #fossilfuels burning promotes climate change. But Trump depends on the fossil fuel companies for donations and thus condemns the science as the enemy. And so, we burn. thebulletin.org/2026/07/amer…
Hey Canada, we have the Canadian Peace Museum opening next month in Bancroft, ON. We have war museums already, but this is the first museum devoted to peace. It is supported entirely by donations from the public. Do attend! #peaceispossible youtube.com/watch?v=7ZSLXosA…
On 16 July, US Sec of State Rubio convened representatives from 65 countries to warn that the left was an “encroaching darkness.” His colleague Stephen Miller called “left-wing extremism” a “fatal cancer to civilization.” We've heard this talk before, we know where it leads.
This article reflects on the importance of self-discipline in #nonviolent movements. Disciple is crucial in preventing the regime from defining you and in prompting observers to question why such peaceful people are willing to suffer. scienceforpeace.org/post/why…
This book, with the subtitle "How Canadians Can Deter Aggression, Defeat Tyranny and Build Democracy", will be available in early November. #nonviolence #Canada @civilresistence
Regarding responsibility for wildfire smoke: if growth of #wildfires is a dimension of climate change, and if fossil luels account for 70% of #GHGemissions, with Trump doublingl down on fossil fuels, the US is the main culprit.
