Talk and discussion featuring Jim Harding author of Canada's Deadly Secret: Saskatchewan Uranium and the Global Nuclear System.  Harding is a retired professor of justice studies at the University of Regina. He is a founding member of the Regina Group for a Non- Nuclear Society and was director of research for Prairie Justice Research at the University of Regina, where he headed up the Uranium Inquiries Project. Jim also acted as consultant to the NFB award-winning film Uranium.

With Frontenac Ventures pursuing uranium mining in the Sharbot Lake area on the Mississippi watershed west of Ottawa,  indigenous peoples and settler allies in the region have allied to fight this toxic and short sighted development. Additionally, vast uranium claims in western Quebec have been staked out. As the potential for the re-occupation of Frontenac's claimson Algonquin territory looms, it is vital to understand the dire ecological and human consequences of uranium extraction, and thus, why it must be resisted.
