Presented by UBC Centre for Climate Justice, Vancouver Writers Fest, and Chan Centre for the Performing Arts   Eighteen years after it was first published, Naomi Klein’s groundbreaking book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, is back on the bestseller lists—for reasons much against her will. The Trump Administration is rushing through a drastic realignment of the international order: one in which Canada is intensely vulnerable. Tariffs may be just the beginning. In this vital event, Naomi Klein will be joined by her brother and collaborator Seth Klein, author of A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency. In conversation with CBC Radio’s Elamin Abdelmahmoud, the two will discuss how Canada and BC can seize this moment to build an economy far less vulnerable to external shocks, that takes the transition from a fossil fuel and extraction-based economy seriously. Attendees will leave inspired by what is possible, and armed with practical policy ideas for charting Canada’s path in a time of crisis.
