With future TTC fare and service levels up for decision later this month, there are only a few days for riders to weigh-in. According to insiders, fares will almost certainly increase. For regular transit riders the fare hike could be worth as much as an extra $100/year. Meanwhile, service will remain woefully inadequate.

The number of people living in cities will nearly double in the next 40 years, and there isn’t enough time to build the needed infrastructure. According to revolutionary Danish city planner Jan Gehl, even the largest of mega cities must be re-thought and re-designed on a small scale: the human scale. Around 1950, Gehl argues, city planning took on a very specific direction: "bird shit architecture." Driven by the rapid influx of cars, cities were designed to look good from a plane, ignoring the needs of humans below, the needs that can only be observed at eye level. The Human Scale travels around the world to explore how Gehl’s vision of a human megacity—intimate, lively, safe, sustainable and healthy—is being implemented in places like New York, Chongqing and Christchurch.</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://prod5.agileticketing.net/WebSales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=17172~fff311b7-cdad-4e14-9ae4-a9905e1b9cb0&epguid=6395d239-7dd9-47d4-a22f-81a783873e12&">http://prod5.agileticketing.net/WebSales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=17172~fff311b7-cdad-4e14-9ae4-a9905e1b9cb0&epguid=6395d239-7dd9-47d4-a22f-81a783873e12&</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="#c900c3"><b>Saving the Sacred Headwaters – Triumphs and Challenges in the battle to protect Canada’s northern wilderness<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">With Annita McPhee</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Monday, Nov. 11, 6 - 7 pm</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Room 110, Ramsay Wright Building, U of T, 25 Harbord Street</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">The Sacred Headwaters is the birthplace of three of the content's great salmon rivers, the Stikine, Skeena and Nass.

The film argues that the gas industry's portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alternative to oil is a myth and that fracked wells inevitably leak over time, contaminating water and air, hurting families, and endangering the Earth's climate with the potent greenhouse gas, methane. In addition, the film looks at how the powerful oil and gas industries are in Fox's words "contaminating our democracy". Citizens in Quebec are awake at the wheel, and have been able to bring about a moratorium on fracking. France has banned fracking.

The violence of the regime has been steadily increasing and while a new chemical attack is unlikely, the Syrian army has developed and been using a new weapon of mass destruction. It is starving the population on a massive scale by besieging entire regions and forcing residents to leave their houses. At the international level, the United States and Russia are facing each other in the Syrian arena and are each trying to impose their world-views on Syrians. Regional players such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, and Turkey have been confronting each other by arming and funding different local players. Finally, al-Qaeda opened a second front in the North to undermine the revolutionary process and turn it into a clash of civilization between Muslims and infidels. Despite these global designs and regional geostrategies, the Syrian people are keeping their revolution alive. Yasser Munif will talk about his recent visit to Northern Syria by focusing on everyday struggles, participatory democracy, and local governance.<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'" size="5" color="#009f2c"><b>Education for Activists Conference<br></b></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;">Fri/Sat.
