SUMMARY:Okanagan - Where to Draw the Line: Challenges to Free Speech from Maurice Duplessis to Charlie Hebdo
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis is a collaborative event with the Okanagan Jewish Community Centre. \nIf possible\, please leave the small OJCC parking lot for people who might have difficulty parking further away and walking. There is on-street parking on Union Rd and I was told that North Glenmore Elementary\, across Snowsell St\, doesn’t mind people using their parking lot if they don’t have an event on. \nDr Andrew Irvine will be speaking about the importance of free speech in Canada and other Western democracies. His talk will review the current state of Canadian law with regard to free speech and other fundamental democratic freedoms and will discuss several landmark Supreme Court of Canada cases. \nAndrew Irvine teaches at the University of British Columbia. He holds a PhD in philosophy from Sydney University and is Head of Economics\, Philosophy and Political Science at UBC Okanagan. He is a past vice-chair of the UBC Board of Governors\, a past president of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association\, and a member of the board of directors of the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship. He has held visiting positions at several Canadian and American universities and has been recognized as one of British Columbia’s most influential public intellectuals. \nDr Irvine is a renowned expert on Bertrand Russell. He has also published and lectured on topics in the philosophy of mathematics\, the history and philosophy of logic\, and the philosophy of law. He is an advocate of traditional democratic civil liberties\, and has argued in favour of free speech rights\, both for political reasons\, and in the context of defending academic freedom. He’s even written a play\, “Socrates on Trial”! \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_David_Irvine\nhttp://phil.ok.ubc.ca/faculty/irvine.html \nTime to be determined.

SUMMARY:Banned Books Club: Orwell's Animal Farm

And this round’s book is George Orwell’s Animal Farm. \n \nAnimal Farm is an allegorical and dystopian novel by George Orwell\, published in England on 17 August 1945.

SUMMARY:CFIC T.O. – Science & Philosophy Book Club - "Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe" by Lee Smolin
DESCRIPTION:This group is hosted by CFI Canada members Christine Gagnon and Vlad Bunea at our National Headquarters\, 55 Eglinton Ave E.\, Suite 307\, Buzzer Code 49\, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Suggested donation is $5. There is an after-event at a location near the office. \nThe goal is to provide a friendly\, free-thinking environment in which to discuss books that inspire rewarding conversation on subjects related to science and philosophy. \n The fact that time is real may seem obvious. You experience it passing every day when you watch clocks tick\, bread toast\, and children grow. But most physicists see things differently\, from Newton to Einstein to today’s quantum theorists. For them\, time isn’t real. You may think you experience time passing\, but they say it’s just an illusion.   What if the laws of physics themselves were not timeless? What if they could evolve? Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe offers a radical new approach to cosmology that embraces the reality of time and opens up a whole new universe of possibilities. There are few ideas that\, like our notion of time\, shape our thinking about literally everything\, with major implications for physics and beyond—from climate change to the economic crisis. \nSmolin explains in lively and lucid prose how the true nature of time impacts our world. \nLee Smolin is tentatively scheduled to do a speaking event at CFIC Toronto Branch in 2015. When details are finalized\, the event will be posted.
