Canada by Mike Myers
It is increasingly apparent that capitalism cannot stave off the truly frightening ecological disasters that threaten the future of life on earth. Is it an accident that the strongest and most capitalist economic force in the world, the US, is also that force that is most prone to the denial of the enormous dangers of global warming? While capitalism is a global force, it is not supported by the majority of the world, and much more thought and action is needed to integrate and globalize movements against oppression, injustice and ecological destruction.While changes at a local level are important and more feasible in our current world, ultimately changes at a global level may have greater long-term importance, and we need to greatly expand theorizations and mobilizations in this direction now. Robert Albritton proposes 'practical utopias' as a process of thinking by which short-term changes tend in the direction of desirable changes in the long term.
MIKE MYERS, one of the most multifaceted performers of his generation, has brought an astonishing array of memorable characters to life in film and television as an actor, director, producer, writer and creator behind such iconic characters as Wayne Campbell, Austin Powers, Dr. Evil and Shrek. Myers recently made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed documentary, Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon, which earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Arts and Cultural Programming. Among his many accolades, Myers has received stars on both the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, California and on Canada's Walk of Fame for his impressive body of work, and recently earned an ensemble SAG award for his memorable work in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
