Deepak Chopra visited Vancouver, BC…and CFI was prepared with flyers and volunteers handing them out to people going to the talk. It's an excellent example of how to effectively and informatively deal with pseudoscientific nonsense. Oh, and they actually had Chopra come out and talk with them, although it sounds like he didn't say much of substance. But then, he never does.
One thing I'd like to see, though, is that they make copies of their flyers available on the web. Chopra isn't going to vanish, and having more material that other groups can use when engaging wacky quantum woo artists would be useful.

Way, way back in the day, before I took an interest in pseudoscientific medical claims, I knew who Deepak Chopra was. Back then, though, like most doctors, I didn’t pay much attention to him and didn’t know much about him other than that he was some sort of alternative medicine guru, a physician…
