Maude Barlow is coming to Peterborough...

For those of you who happen to live in or around Peterborough, Maude Barlow will be coming to town on Friday, January 30th. The talk, which is taking place at 7:00 pm at the Market Hall, is primarily focused on bottled water and the issues surrounding it.

Maude Barlow is a fairly well-renowned figure in environmental circles, as an author of several books, the national chairperson for the Council of Canadians, and most recently the UN's Senior Advisor on Water Issues. She's a pretty big name. And the show is free, so get there early.

Tim and I do have several issues with some of Maude Barlow's views on water issues, which we will undoubtedly write about in the weeks to come, but she is a terrific and powerful speaker. I highly recommend that everyone try to attend the talk.
