Canada`s Deadly Secret

Jim Harding is past director of the School of Human Justice at the University of Regina. He served as inner-city representative on Regina City Council and as mayor of the Village of Fort San. He is the founding board chair of the Qu’Appelle Valley Centre for the Arts and a founding director of the Qu’Appelle Valley Environmental Association.Harding was involved in the formation of the Student Union for Peace Action, the early NDP and the Combined University Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. He has authored several books, including After Iraq (2004) and Canada’s Deadly Secret (2007), and he edited Social Policy and Social Justice (1995), and has written widely in newspapers, journals, and magazines.Historian Bryan Palmer calls Jim Harding “one of Western Canada’s leading New Leftists.” For Jim, writing and activism have always been interwoven: “Beliefs based in ideology always let me down. Without more fully, concretely understanding what is happening I would have been greatly limited in both strategic and tactical foresight. Without learning the importance of critical reflection, early on, I would never have been able to stay in movement activism for the long game.”
