SUMMARY:Learn about Ottawa’s radical history on a walking tour
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Ottawa’s radical history on a walking tour \nTake your radicalism outdoors this summer so you and your friends can learn from previous generations of troublemakers on a radical historical walking tour. \nMy name is Brian McDougall. Since 2014\, I’ve given hundreds of radical tours to visitors\, residents\, and local activists. \nWhy do we need to know our history? It’s true that history doesn’t repeat itself\, and it can’t provide us with ready-made formulae to guide us today. But\, knowing the inspiring stories about how others fought for social justice – whether they won or lost – helps to sharpen our ability to think through the strategic and tactical issues we face today. \nPeoples’ History Walking Tours: \n\nBuilding the Rideau Canal and the making of the Ottawa working class\nProtest\, strike\, and rebellion in the history of Canada’s capital\nAn unauthorized history of Parliament Hill: From Indigenous land to headquarters of Canada’s elite\nIndigenous peoples and colonialism in the history of Canada’s capital\nFrom sacred site to industrial wasteland: colonialism and class struggle in the Chaudière District\nMore than taverns and brothels: French Canadian\, Irish\, and Jewish struggles against oppression in Lowertown\nThe rise and fall of federal public service militancy in Ottawa-Gatineau\, 1965-2023\nColonialism and resistance in Canada’s capital: lessons from Indigenous\, Irish\, Black South African\, and Palestinian struggles\nFailure to revolt? Why Winnipeg had a general strike in 1919 while Ottawa’s was aborted\n\nHow good are the tours? In 85 reviews on Trip Advisor\, 79 tour participants rated their experience 5 stars out of 5. You can read their comments here: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g155004-d7035441-Reviews-Peoples_History_Walking_Tours-Ottawa_Ontario.html \nWhat does a tour involve? Tours are given in English\, last from 3 to 3.5 hours\, and mainly take place in the center of Ottawa\, May to October. \nWho leads the tours? I do. I’m a former university teacher and federal public servant\, land long-time socialist\, trade unionist and social justice activist in Ottawa-Gatineau. I’m currently active with the Palestinian solidarity caucus and the national education committee of my public service union: the Canadian Association of Professional Employees. \nHow much does a tour cost? Tours cost $35 per person and require a minimum of four participants. Groups can be as large as 20\, with those of 10 or more eligible for a discount. \nHow do you book a tour? Organize a group and select a preferred day and time. (Tours are organized on demand.) Then send me an email brian.phwt@gmail.com or book through my website https://ottawahistorytours.com Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

SUMMARY:NO TYRANTS
DESCRIPTION:We don’t put up with mad tyrants. \nNO TYRANTS is an international day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech\, detained people for their political views\, threatened to deport American citizens\, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. \nOn June 14—Flag Day in the US—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else. \nOn Saturday\, June 14\, we’re taking to the streets internationally. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind. \nOn June 14\, Indivisible Ottawa is STANDING UP and saying NO TYRANTS in solidarity with hundreds of Indivisible groups in the US\, Indivisible Abroad\, Democrats Abroad\, concerned Canadians and allies around the world to say no tyrants\, no dictators and NO KINGs in the US.\nBring friends\, family\, colleagues\, signs and\, if you can\, dress as Tr*mp clowns (or one of his cronies.) Think bad blonde wig\, orange face\, long red tie\, and get creative! \nA core principle behind all No Kings/No Tyrants events is a commitmen to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

SUMMARY:Arms Embargo Now! Ottawa Protest
DESCRIPTION:Ottawa Join us on Saturday June 14th\, at 2pm\, at the Human Rights Monument to demand this government implement a full and immediate arms embargo on the genocidal zionist regime and finally recognize Palestine\, without condition! \n\nThis week\, a UN meeting is being held in New York to discuss recognizing a Palestinian state. The time to recognize is long overdue and we call on this government to do so without condition. But recognition alone means nothing if western governments continue their shameful complicity in Israel’s relentless attacks on Gaza\, the West Bank\, and Lebanon. While countries discuss this around a table\, countless families are left buried under rubble\, and many more are deprived of food\, water\, and medical aid.\n\nRecognition will mean nothing as long as Canada continues to profit from the export of the military equipment used to slaughter the people of Gaza. We need an arms embargo now! \n\n\nDATE: Saturday\, June 14\nTIME: 2PM\nPLACE: Human Rights Monument
