American activist Bruce Gagnon has been tirelessly investigating and

The Regina Peace Action Coalition is pleased to have Bruce come to
Saskatchewan on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Tommy Douglas ­
despite Cold War hysteria Tommy supported the worldwide “Ban the Bomb” petition and the call for nuclear disarmament.

Today, humanity again faces a fundamental challenge ­ this time we must oppose the weaponization of space.
