Significantly reduce speed limits. Make drivers pay the full cost of infrastructure construction and maintenance through the gas tax. Build the cost of medical care for those millions of injured by cars into the price of gas.

If passed, this act will see US style voter suppression imposed on Canadians and is clearly targeted youth and students, poor people, seniors, Aboriginal people and other marginalized groups. The “Fair Elections Act” eliminates key provisions of our current election system – including vouching and voter ID cards – which could deprive as many as 520,000 Canadians of their right to vote. The Act will also muzzle Elections Canada, cancelling voter education and engagement programs like Student Vote. This event is being organized by a coalition of groups including the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario and the Council of Canadians. </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/249977975189126/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming">https://www.facebook.com/events/249977975189126/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming</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>---------------------------------------<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="#b100c5"><b>Transport Action AGM and Public Forum<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Saturday, April 26</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Metro Hall, 55 John Street (at King), Rm # 308/309</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">AGM: 10 a.m.–noon</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Lunch: Members and guests are welcome to join us at the Aroma Restaurant, 121 King St. West, 2nd floor, across from Metro Hall.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Afternoon Public Forum: 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Union Station Revitalization: Its Progress to Date.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Speaker: Michael Wolczyk, V-P Capital Infrastructure (Acting) GO Transit (Metrolinx)</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Tour of Union Station construction will follow presentation. </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'"><br><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#0098c6"><b>Retrofitting Vintage Homes for Energy Efficiency: Practical Know-How and Financing Options<br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Sat.
