Canada has an incredible seven per cent of the world’s renewable freshwater supply. Indigenous cultures view water as a sacred life source and new immigrants often are coming out of cultures and countries where water quality is compromised or water scarcity is endemic. Water is central to our existence, our history, livelihood and transportation. Right now, a discussion of water policy is especially timely given that the Province of Ontario is in the midst of developing a Great Lakes Protection Act and an associated implementation strategy.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">The event is free but pre-registration is required by sending an email, specifying this event to <a href="mailto:rsvp@sustainabilitynetwork.ca">rsvp@sustainabilitynetwork.ca</a></span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://rabble.ca/whatsup/public-talk-and-learning-event-what-water-means-to-us">http://rabble.ca/whatsup/public-talk-and-learning-event-what-water-means-to-us</a></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://greatlakescommonsmap.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c7973b6e5a6cc04830adf939&id=6a51bc6992&e=b015172984">http://greatlakescommonsmap.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c7973b6e5a6cc04830adf939&id=6a51bc6992&e=b015172984</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><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#ee00f8" size="5"><b>Virtual Townhall: A bold new vision for the Great Lakes<br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Tuesday, March 18, noon – 1 p.m. Eastern time</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">From your computer</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">What would happen if water was managed based on principles and practices that empower communities to become stewards and what if decision making was local and collective?

The Canadian government's increasing use of criminal law in the immigration law realm has led to the detention of thousands of asylum seekers, permanent residents, and other non-citizens. Hundreds currently sit in immigration detention centers or max-security prisons, with no indication of when they will be released. Some have been held for more than a decade, caught in limbo between Canada's (claimed) inability to deport them, and unwillingness to release them on ambiguously defined grounds, such as "national security." What is the legal regime governing immigration detention in Canada? What challenges have been brought – both in the courts, and on the streets? Join us for a discussion with legal practitioners, researchers, and community members on this disturbing trend in Canadian immigration law. A light lunch will be served. </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">For more information, please contact Sofia Ijaz (<a href="mailto:sofia.ijaz@utoronto.ca">sofia.ijaz@utoronto.ca</a>) or Nabila Qureshi (nabila.qureshi@utoronto.ca)</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><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><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#d100dc"><b>Jack Layton Book Club </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;">Tues.

Why do many conversations even among friends or allies end in anger or even enmity? What separates and what unites progressives on this topic? In order to be effective and find peace we need to seek true conversation where people committed to progressive change and a sovereign Palestine find non-combative ways to discuss controversial strategies like BDS or Israeli Apartheid Week without exploding. We need conversations where we can safely address questions such a the legitimacy of the Jewish state, the Nakba and the the right of return without becoming so antagonistic as to shut down conversation. The challenge is to create more productive, open, and diverse public conversations to engage mainstream people. </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/talking-about-israel-palestine/">http://beitzatoun.org/event/talking-about-israel-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><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="#1159e9"><b>Rethink 9/11 - with Richard Gage <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;">Thursday March 20, 7 p.m.<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Innis College Town Hall, 2 Sussex Ave (at St. George).
