DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nOh, Canada: our home and native 
 land…\n\n   Just before our American election we turn our attention 
 north, to Canada.  Our speaker will be Brenda Zeman who teaches 
 anthropology at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. She will speak 
 on various aspects of Canadian politics, including the August shooting 
 death of Colten Boushie of Red Pheasant First Nation which took place on a 
 farm in Saskatchewan; the Fort McMurray fires and the Husky oil spill into 
 the North Saskatchewan River; Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and South 
 Africa; the new national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous 
 women; the 2015 election of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the arrival 
 and settling of 25,000 Syrians; Tommy Douglas and challenges to universal 
 healthcare; the September assisted suicide of W.P. “Bill” Kinsella in 
 Hope, B.C.; the changing lyrics to Canada’s national anthem; and what it 
 all means. \n   Brenda Zeman is a former elite athlete, dancer, author, 
 storyteller, traveller, lecturer and activist. She earned her MA in 
 Anthropology at Cal State Long Beach, where her advisor was Gene Ruyle. A 
 descendent of Slovak homesteaders and Shetlandic/Scots immigrants, she 
 lives in her hometown, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan which sits on Treaty 6 land.
