The result was a conversation that devolved—technologically and ideologically—into a quasi-tragicomic farce, punctuated by remarkable moments of rupture initiated by activist resistance to the Conference from the outside and dissenting voices from within.\u003c\/from\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terranova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55472128426326,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1042\/8622\/4726\/files\/THE-HALIFAX-CONFERENCE-1-min-scaled.jpg?v=1790172480","url":"https:\/\/terrranova.com\/products\/the-halifax-conference","provider":"Terranova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
