“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
— Naomi Klein
On February 25, 2010, Naomi Klein gave a lecture on the issue of climate debt, organized by the CCPA.
This was the first in a series of lectures in honour of David Lewis (1909-1981), a leading labour lawyer, life-long social democrat, a founder of the NDP and its national leader from 1970 to 1975. His grandson Avi Lewis introduced the lecture series.
The lecture series will focus on issues that were important to David Lewis: social democracy, organized labour, and income inequality.
