The have and have-nots of tomorrow will be defined by who does and doesn’t have a pension. The federal government has proposed a new pension scheme: pooled registered pension plans (PRPPs). In a paper published by the C.D.

Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always... a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.

How is torture written on the social body? How does a practice that is so extreme come to be seen as a necessary part of our everyday world, a world in which even the spanking of children is regarded as grievous harm? She suggests that torture as practiced today by liberal democratic states in the West (often aided by elites in the East) unites the West against the East, turning the globe into a militarized zone. Torture is thus a racial practice that gives birth to white identities, identities experienced as simultaneously racial and national. As the story of the torture of Muslims circulates in the West, energizing some citizens and providing them with a heightened sense of their own racial superiority, it performs a psychic violence on those of us too easily racially identified with the tortured, reminding us of our own precarious status in political community.<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">E-Mail: <a href="mailto:uoft.essu@gmail.com">uoft.essu@gmail.com</a> <a href="http://www.uoftessu.com/tortureaspublictruth/">http://www.uoftessu.com/tortureaspublictruth/</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></span></font><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;">LCO & Mathare Radio's 2012 Toronto Indie Media Exchange </span><br><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#ce00d5"><b>A discussion on independent media in Mathare, East Africa's second-largest slum<br></b></font><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thur.

Talk of an under-reported story! Yet for the approximately 300,000 residents of the Mathare estate in Nairobi Kenya, where most are young and live on less than $1 a day, community-controlled media is a key platform for articulating social struggles and building collective solutions to pressing problems. Together, the people of Mathare have established their own independent media groups to share issues and generate conversations relevant to their lives. Workers from two Mathare-based collectives, Liberation Cooperative Organization (LCO) and Mathare Radio, are pleased to welcome you to a presentation and group discussion on the role of independent media in our Nairobi and Toronto communities.<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><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="#0081d4"><b>Democracy Salon</b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thur.

Palestine is often described as a place that defies description, and for all the endless footage, a place that cannot be seen. Palestine lies between the imaginary and the real hence "imaging Palestine" becomes perhaps one of the greatest cinematic and political challenges. Who better to take up this challenge than Toronto's master experimental filmmaker Mike Hoolboom? The fragments that comprise Lacan Palestine are both the public and private languages that interpolate the symbolic sphere that constitute the history of Palestine and therefore the history of the Israel into being. Hoolboom takes us through these myths, dreams and canonical cinematic placeholders, presenting us Palestine in fragments_perhaps the only way to tell the story of what may be Palestine. Proceeds from the screening generously donated to "Sustain Beit Zatoun Fund." </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://beitzatoun.org/cms/events/view/12-11-24/Film_Lacan_Palestine.aspx">http://beitzatoun.org/cms/events/view/12-11-24/Film_Lacan_Palestine.aspx</a><br> </span></font></div><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'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</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><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#009721"><b>Is that an archive in your basement... or are you just hoarding?</b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Saturday, Nov 24 from 2 to 5 pm</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Beit Zatoun, 612 Markham (Bloor and Bathurst)</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>An open house and networking opportunity for amateur archivists, keepers of the radical past, and friends and supporters of grassroots archives, independent libraries, and people's history.
