Algonquin Resistance to Assimilation - Barriere Lake Speaks
Mon. March 5, 7 p.m.
Beit Zatoun, 612 Markham (bloor and bathurst)
Join us for snacks and a talk by Michel Thusky, a community spokesperson from the Algonquin community of Barriere Lake. Come hear about the long-standing resistance of Mitchikanibikok Inik, the Algonquins of Barriere Lake, to forced assimilation and cultural extinction. Michel Thusky, a spokesperson from the Algonquin community, will talk about community identity in the context of his people’s struggle to defend their land, their way of life, and their traditional governance system against attacks by the colonial governments of Quebec and Canada.
This is a chance for Torontonians and folks from the region to learn about the struggle of a remote community’s struggle for justice, presented by members of the community who we rarely have a chance to hear from first-hand. The event is a fundraiser to help cover the community’s legal costs incurred in a costly court battle they’ve been forced into by the Canadian government. All proceeds (after costs are covered) will go to the Barriere Lake Legal Defense Fund.

Impunity by Design - Protest/Fashion Show
Tues. March 6, 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Join us as we showcase the latest fads in "corporate social responsibility" featuring designs by Barrick Gold, Caterpillar, Pacific Rim, God's Lake, Gold Corp and many others in the industry. Come in garish and grotesque outfits (or just come as you are!) to let mining companies know that corporate accountability and justice are not aesthetics or skin-deep 'fashion statements.' And that, despite their PR and lip-service, their corporate practices are downright ugly. The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) are throwing their yearly trade show "where the world mineral industry meets."This is no coincidence. Toronto is the mining capital of the world with more than 2/3 of mining companies based in Canada. https://www.facebook.com/events/278041455596726/

Following hiking guide David Lavallee on a three-year journey from ice fields to oil fields, White Water, Black Gold investigates how the expansion of the Alberta Tar Sands is putting half of Canada’s water supply at risk. Narrated by actor and environmentalist Peter Coyote, the film exposes how bitumen upgraders, breached dams, oil pipelines and tanker traffic are forming a “triangle of concern” of threatened waterways stretching from the base of the Arctic Ocean to Lake Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast. White Water, Black Gold bears witness as droves of citizens, politicians and musicians stand up to the world’s thirstiest oil industry. Director David Lavallee will join the audience via SKYPE for a post-screening Q&A.

Save the School House - Defend a Harm Reduction shelter! Stop the Cuts in the Downtown East!
Wednesday, March 7, 5pm
@ 349 George St.
The School House was first opened in the 1970s, it is a 55 (paid) bed facility for men in the downtown east end of Toronto. It was one of the first shelters in Canada to operate from a harm reduction perspective. Schoolhouse is one of very few harm reduction focused shelters in this city. Schoolhouse also has 55 beds, at a time when most shelters are at capacity and when we face a deepening housing crisis in this city. There are 79 000 housholds on the waiting list for social housing in Toronto, a list that is estimated to be at least a decade long. Most poor people are priced out of the private market with the average bachelor apartment ranging around $777 a month while the base amount for welfare is only $599. Schoolhouse as a vital service in this neighborhood that needs to be defended! To break the silence on this closure, and to demand that this shelter remain open - we are calling for a rally to defend this vital service in our community!
Organized by: The Downtown East Stop the Cuts Committee, Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, Health Providers Against Poverty, and the Harm Reduction Coalition of Toronto To endorse this event, or for more information contact the Downtown East Stop the Cuts Committee: TorontoDTE at gmail.com or OCAP: 416-925-6939 www.torontostopthecuts.com

Join the Torture Tour of Toronto
Thursday, March 8, 8:30 am-1:30 pm
Sponsored by Stop Canadian Involvement in Torture and Toronto Action for Social Change
What is a torture tour?
The tour is an opportunity for people to publicly name and protest at sites of Canadian complicity in torture and other forms of cruel, degrading treatment. These sites include government agencies found by judicial inquiries to be complicit in the torture of Canadian citizens, agencies that regularly deport refugees to torture and other grave fates, Canadian military facilities, and symbols of the ongoing war against women, who experience torture and other forms of alarming violence on a daily basis at the hands of men in Canada. The Torture Tour is yet another step in the years-long campaign of Stop Canadian Involvement in Torture seeking accountability, apologies, compensation, and systemic changes to put an end to this country's growing complicity in human rights abuses both here and abroad.
Get involved:
1. To join the torture tour, email tasc at web.ca
2. Bring a bag lunch or snacks for the road. There will NOT be a lot of walking; rather, it will consist of mainly driving between spots and standing vigil for a few minutes at each location.
3. If you drive and can offer spaces to others who need a seat on the torture tour, please let us know.
4. Contributions to help with our expenses are greatly appreciated, and can be made out to Homes not Bombs and mailed to PO Box 2020, 57 Foster Street, Perth, ON K7H 1R0.

7:30 p.m. Graduate Student's Union, Sylvester's Cafe, 16 Bancroft Ave. (near College and Spadina) - Testimonials, poetry, video, live music and more
The history of women has been plagued with humiliations and scorn on the part of various systems of slavery and submission that have existed. Domination, colonialism and violence have always been unleashed on the bodies of women -and with it the earth - as part of the structural patriarchy that has continued the rape, plunder and genocide of the land and its indigenous peoples. The prison system is the vivid expression of this structural violence – forcing all those who refuse to submit to the colonial norms to submit their bodies and their lives to the will of power and capital. However, much resistance has risen from the depth of this brutality. This International Women’s Day, we have nothing to celebrate and everything to fight back.

Novelist Sarah Schulman in conversation with Shani Mootoo
Please join us to celebrate the Toronto launch of Sarah Schulman's latest book, The Gentrification of The Mind - Witness to a Lost Imagination, a gripping memoir of the AIDS years (1981–1996).
Sunday, 11 March, 7:30 - 9:30 pm
The Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen Street West
Schulman recalls how much of the rebellious queer culture, cheap rents, and a vibrant downtown arts movement vanished almost overnight to be replaced by gay conservative spokespeople and mainstream consumerism. Schulman takes us back to her Lower East Side and brings it to life, filling these pages with vivid memories of her avant-garde queer friends and dramatically recreating the early years of the AIDS crisis as experienced by a political insider. Interweaving personal reminiscence with cogent analysis, Schulman details her experience as a witness to the loss of a generation’s imagination and the consequences of that loss.
