Residents of Toronto: Sean McKenna (my good friend, roommate from 1st year University, dad and citizen of the world) has suggested that a bunch of us go the Bloor Cinema this Wednesday May 3rd at 11:45 pm for a free screening of OilCrash. Here’s the synopsis from the Hotdocs website:

That sucking sound you hear is the last significant oil reserves being drawn from the earth. The very oil that makes our bloated, consumptive Western lifestyles possible is directly forcing our economic, industrial and environmental demise. In this well-constructed barrage of terrifying information and images, filmmakers Basil Gelpke, Ray McCormackand Reto Caduff chisel away at our denial of imminent global oil collapse. Energy experts and oil industry authorities, including George W. Bush’s advisor, detail just how close to the bottom of the barrel we are. The world’s supply has peaked, and the age of cheap and plentiful oil is over.

…this highly energetic exposé vividly illustrates our fossil fuel addiction and perhaps even more harrowingly, reveals how little we seem to care. Myrocia Watamaniuk

See you there.
