DESCRIPTION:Rm. 224\, Student Union Dalhousie University\,\n\nFree. Al
	l Welcome. Don't miss this important film. Learn more about the\n"Cana
	da First Defence Strategy"\n\nAcclaimed filmmaker Eugene Jarecki\, cre
	ates a sense of urgency and moves beyond the headlines to uncover the 
	deeper answers behind the American war machine in WHY WE FIGHT - Winne
	r of the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in
	 2005. Inspired by Dwight Eisenhower's legendary farewell speech\, fil
	mmaker Jarecki surveys the scorched landscape of a half-century's mili
	tary adventures\, asking how\, and revealing why he believes that the 
	nation of\, by\, and for the people has become the savings-and-loan of
	 a system whose survival depends on a state of constant war. Jarecki e
	xplores the gap between perception and reality\, and is concerned not 
	only with the viewpoint of Americans\, but also with the perspective o
	f those on the receiving end of the US war machine.\n\nWe must questio
	n Canada's new military transformation "Fight with the\nCanadian Force
	s"? Why does Canada spend 20X more on the military than on the natural
	 environment? Why are we fighting with the US-led NATO and killing in 
	Afghanistan? Why was the Canadian public not consulted on the Canada F
	irst Defence Strategy that commits the federal government to spend $49
	0 BILLION on the military over the next 20 years? Watch the film and f
	ind out more.\n\n*Anniversary of former President General Dwight Eisen
	hower's Address on\nthe Military Industrial Complex on January 17\, 19
