PUBLIC DEBATE - JOIN US


THE LANGARA DIALOGUES are a series of public debates on matters of public policy.


They are held at the Vancouver Public Library, Downtown branch at Homer & Robson, downstairs in the Alice Mackay Room. They always begin sharp at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:15) and end sharp at 9. Free coffee is provided, thanks to Blenz.


Our next event is this coming Wednesday, Dec. 12/07.


RESOLVED: YOU CANNOT LIVE A MORAL LIFE WITHOUT A GOOD BOOK

The Torah, The New Testament, and the Koran have sustained millions of Jews, Christians and Muslims for centuries. On what guides do Humanists. Sceptics and others rely?


Arguing the AFFIRMATIVE: The Reverend Gary Paterson, St. Andrews- Wesley United Church


Arguing the NEGATIVE: Dale Beyerstein, Philosophy Department, Langara College


There will be 2 additonal special guests and lots of time for your questions and comments.


Please join us.

Delta Council is having a public hearing that same night to discuss the recent approval of the feds to allow migrant workers (and God knows who else) into the country on a fast track basis. Given the intelligence of our Immigration dep't we may become truly a region of gangs, terrorists and violence. If they'd only pay their workers a decent salary then they wouldn't
be able to claim a shortage. So many of us here in the deep south won't be able to attend your event. But, thanks for asking.
