• OCTOBER Speaker: The Next US Civil War

  • When
    15 Oct 2024
  •  
    10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
  • Location
    Collingwood Legion

  Speaker - Micheal Coward

  

  Micheal's presentation is based on Canadian novelist, essayist, and cultural commentator, Stephen Marche's book The Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future.  This celebrated journalist takes a fiercely divided America and imagines five chilling scenarios that lead to its collapse, based on in-depth interviews with experts of all kinds.

  From The Publisher:  No matter your political leaning, most of us can sense that America is barreling toward catastrophe—of one kind or another. Relevant and revelatory, The Next Civil War plainly breaks down the looming threats to America and is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of its people, its land, and its government
