Idle No More has re-centred the issue of Indigenous Sovereignty in Canada. It is the latest chapter in a long struggle by Indigenous peoples to have control over their land and resources. From Grassy Narrows to Ipperwash to Oka to the struggles of the Elsipogtog First Nation in Rexton, New Brunswick, to the deplorable Tar Sands in Alberta. It is a struggle for the dignity of the peoples of the land and for the land itself. Similarly, the indigenous Arab Bedouin in the Naqab (Negev) desert are struggling against Israel’s plan to forcibly remove them from their ancestral lands and put them into “townships.” Between 30,000 and 70,000 Bedouin face eviction from lands they have lived on for hundreds of years. And they are citizens of the state of Israel.</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/event/land-rights-from-turtle-island-to-palestine/">http://beitzatoun.org/event/land-rights-from-turtle-island-to-palestine/</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><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#c700c4"><b>Anti-Racism: A Critical Discussion<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Book launch </span><br><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Wednesday, November 20, 6-7 pm Panel Discussion , 7-9 pm Book Launch Reception <br>Hart House Library, U of T<br>Free</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Join us for the book launch of the new critical reader, Contemporary Issues in the Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, edited by George J.

Ontario is at a crossroad: All our nuclear reactors are coming to the end of their lives in the next decade and will need to be replaced. Should we build new or rebuild old reactors? Can we phase out all fossil fuels? What are the viable green electricity sources? How much can conservation reduce our demand for electricity? And what can we as a province afford?<br>Cost: The talk itself is free to members and University of Toronto graduate students. Optional vegan dinner is $5.
