Step three: end immigration detention, including for hundreds of children. (Many more steps needed as well!!!)

This industry went from boom to bust in only a few short years. Despite this, it is still the future of American energy and soon to spread throughout the entire world. This presentation serves as an introduction to fracking, answering the following questions: What is it? How it did it come about? Why is it so important? And what are the implications—economic, social, and environmental—for the local communities where it occurs?<br class="">http://munkschool.utoronto.ca/events/<br class="">http://munkschool.utoronto.ca/event/20788/register/<br class=""><br class="">---------------------------------------<br class="">---------------------------------------<br class=""><br class=""><b class=""><font color="#874efe" class="">The Wakefield Vaccine Scandal - Grounds for Thought discussion<br class=""></font></b>Tuesday, January 31, 8 p.m.<br class="">Green Beanery, 565 Bloor St. (at Bathurst)<br class="">Dr. Ari Zaretsky, Psychiatrist-in-Chief and Vice President, Education at Sunnybrook, argues that Andrew Wakefield's study linking vaccines to autism discredits President Trump's Vaccine Safety Commission before it begins.
