(from Toronto Star and UK Guardian): A report commissioned by the Climate Vulnerable Forum [DARA], a partnership of 20 developing countries threatened by climate change, found that five million deaths occur each year from air pollution, hunger and disease as a result of climate change and carbon-intensive economies, and that toll would likely rise to six million a year by 2030 if current patterns of fossil fuel use continue. More than 90 per cent of those deaths will occur in developing countries, said the report that calculated the human and economic impact of climate change on 184 countries in 2010 and 2030. “A combined climate-carbon crisis is estimated to claim 100 million lives between now and the end of the next decade,” the report said. You are invited to discuss and work on crucial questions: What is the geopolitical context of climate justice? What actions need to be taken? What research needs to be done (such as military emissions and the role of militarization)?<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Sponsored by Science4Peace Climate Justice working group</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>---------------------------------------<br>--------------------------------------- <br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#0067c1"><b>Freedom For Birth</b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Movie Screening</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Tuesday, October 9, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.<br>Toronto Women's Bookstore, 73 Harbord Street</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Admission: PWYC (suggested $5)<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">In the US, Australia and other countries around the world, many midwives have been arrested and charged. Many leading experts claim there’s an international witch-hunt against midwives. But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to injustice and denial of women’s human and civil rights. As birth increasingly becomes seen as a “medical event”, so women have frequently been denied the right to decide the circumstances and location of where and how they give birth. Now it’s time women took back those rights. Our hope is that through watching this film, millions of women are empowered with the knowledge of precisely what they need to do to take back those rights, to take back childbirth.There is a promise of hope. This film will reveal something huge that could be the catalyst to revolutionise maternity systems worldwide but no-one knows about it….yet.<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>--------------------------------------- </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#00c240"><b>The Hazards of the Darlington Nuclear Station: A Panel Discussion<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Wed.

At some schools, reports are emerging of supply teachers not being paid, the hot water being shut off, and photocopiers are under threat of being repossessed. While teachers and kids are scrambling to make do, Six Nations parents have been continuously disrespected by Director of Education Peter Jones and Minister John Duncan. Enough is enough. Parents, teachers , allies demand SUPPLIES NOT LIES. This racist injustice shows the colonial face of the fierce austerity agenda we all are facing. It is occurring in a context of massive underfunding for First Nations schools, fierce austerity measures, and Conservative plans to undermine existing treaty responsibilities through attempts to pass a national First Nations Schools Act. Join Six Nations parents to protest the regional Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada office. We are all treaty people. Let's all take a stand together and demand treaty rights to education be honoured. <br><br>For more info: CUPE 3903 First Nations Solidarity Working Group at <a href="mailto:cupe3903fnswg@gmail.com">cupe3903fnswg@gmail.com</a><br>Check out the last protest and call out from Six Nations parents and allies: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/">https://www.youtube.com/</a>watch?v=YzkKc8XnFdI&feature=player_embedded</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/366839806727115/">https://www.facebook.com/events/366839806727115/</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#9900c1"><b>Security for All: But How and at What Price?<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">With Helmut Burkhardt, Professor of Physics Emeritus, Ryerson University.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thur.

At first you may not see the connections between sex and cycling. Some are attracted to the sleek designs, some champion the liberation of women, (eg how bikes put pants on women) while others think bikers are hot and want to fuck them. We can help. Our program of short, DIY bike pornography is specially designed to provide you the tools to meet, converse and potentially reach orgasm with bikers in your area! Movies are a powerful medium, but even more impressive is what creative ideas come from a community gathering to appreciate the cause of better sex and better transportation! Workshops, dance parties, lectures and discussion groups, potlucks, craft nights, naked/underwear bike rides, and more take part in bettering your community by helping to define obscenity for yourself.<br><br>Tickets: <a href="http://www.goodforher.com/bike_smut_6_turning_trixxx">http://www.goodforher.com/bike_smut_6_turning_trixxx</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#00981c"><b>Passive Passion<br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thur.

Using carbon credits as a means to offset pollution created in another part of the world, carbon trading projects have a lasting impact on the environment and the communities involved: indigenous rainforest dwellers are losing their way of life, waste pickers at landfills can no longer support themselves and dozens of farmers in Honduras have been assassinated. So far community voices have gone unheard in the cacophony surrounding this multi-billion dollar carbon industry, nicknamed “green gold” by its beneficiaries. The Carbon Rush travels across four continents and shows the connection between these tragedies and the United Nations’ Clean Development Mechanism. Investigating hydroelectric dams in Panama, incinerators in India and biogas production in Honduras, this groundbreaking documentary reveals the true cost of carbon trading and shows who stands to gain and who stands to lose.</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://planetinfocus.org/film-festival/the-carbon-rush/">http://planetinfocus.org/film-festival/the-carbon-rush/</a></span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#d500c7"><b>Just Do It: A Tale of Modern Day Outlaws<br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thur.

We allocate as much as 62 per cent of urban space to cars, roads, parking and garages, leaving less space for human activity. The car has shaped us into “sedentary nomads,” constantly moving but never really moving. Through interviews with environmental scholars and city planners, animated sequences and archival footage from the 1950s, Keep on Rolling details how our entire way of life is now dictated by our dependence on the automobile. Darkly humorous and satirical, Brenda Longfellow’s operatic short was inspired by the true story of the 1,600 mallard and bufflehead ducks that perished in a mass of toxic bitumen in the tar sands of Alberta.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://planetinfocus.org/festival-films/keep-on-rolling-the-dream-of-the-automobile-sobre-ruedas-el-sueno-del-automovil/">http://planetinfocus.org/festival-films/keep-on-rolling-the-dream-of-the-automobile-sobre-ruedas-el-sueno-del-automovil/</a> <br>Sponsored by Bullfrog Power<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#a90096"><b>Semper Fi: Always Faithful<br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Sunday, October 14, 12:15 p.m.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">TIFF Bell Lightbox, Cinema 3, 350 King St. West</span><br><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Marine Corps Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger, a devoted marine for nearly 25 years, lived and breathed the “Corps” and was responsible for indoctrinating thousands of new recruits with its motto “Semper Fidelis” (“always faithful”). When Ensminger’s nine-year-old daughter Janey died of a rare type of leukemia, his world collapsed. His search for answers led to the shocking discovery of a Marine Corps cover-up of one of the largest water contamination incidents in US history. Semper Fi: Always Faithful follows Ensminger’s mission to expose the Marine Corps and force them to live up to their motto to the thousands of soldiers and their families exposed to toxic chemicals. His fight reveals a grave injustice at North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune and a looming environmental crisis at military sites across the country.<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://planetinfocus.org/film-festival">planetinfocus.org/film-festival</a><br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#00679a"><b>Choosing a Fruit Tree with Susan Poizner<br></b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Sun.
