Canadian Organic Growers - Championing Public Health Nutrition Conference

Monday and Tuesday, October 29 and 30 

The Great Hall, Hart House, U of T, 7 Hart House Circle

Health and food-policy experts, key policy-makers, journalists, and health advocates from across Canada and around the world will explore how to reform public health nutrition policies. Attendees will take stock of progress in proposals to protect children, improve the nutritional quality of the food supply, safeguard the public policy process from commercial conflicts of interest, and examine proposals to strengthen school nutrition standards and subsidies, reduce the amount of sodium in the food supply and diets and, generally to better make food policies serve rather than erode the public’s health and economic well-being. We will hear, first hand, from industry leaders at the city, provincial, and international level.

Never Come Back 
Film screening - Fundraiser for the Roma Community Centre

Monday Oct. 29, 7 pm - 9 pm.
Rogers Communications Centre, 80 Gould Street (Ryerson University), RCC204 lecture theatre 
$5-$10 (sliding scale)

"Never Come Back" tells the story of the Roma (sometimes called "gypsies") in Canada. Characters include Tibor Lukacs, from Prague, who founded the FC-Bohemians, a “Roma” soccer team, in the steel city of Hamilton, and Tamas Banya, a singer/guitarist from Budapest, now living in Toronto. After accepting many as refugees the Canadian Government is now rejecting many Roma, arguing that they come from democratic countries. The film travels to the Czech Republic and Hungary where Roma still suffer discrimination and face constant threats of violence. Bela Radics, a Roma man who was returned by the Canadian government to Hungary, tells Roma still in Canada: "Never come back!". Premier by Karl Nerenberg, an award-winning television and radio producer, director and writer.

Beyond Refugee Health Cuts: Examining the Roots and Nurturing Resistance

Monday, October 29, 7 – 9 p.m.
Steelworkers Hall, 25 Cecil St.  (near Spadina and College)

In recent months, we have witnessed cruel attacks against the right to healthcare for migrants, both in Canada and across the globe. Those without the fortune of being born with a particular passport are being condemned to suffering and death. Against the backdrop of increasingly restrictive and racist immigration laws, we are also witnessing the unprecedented mobilization and resistance of health workers and allies who are refusing to comply with inhumane laws that leave some of the most marginalized in our society behind.

Tues. Oct. 30, 6:30 p.m.
Ryerson, Centre for Urban Energy (near Church and Dundas)

In order to support the needs of a growing population as well as rebuild an aging infrastructure, the electricity  sector will need a new set of entrepreneurs.

Jen Hiscock, a Ryerson Master of Management Science graduate and currently with Natural Resources Canada, discusses the case of distributed electricity storage in Ontario's electricity system as a prime example of innovation.

Courage - Personal Stories of Survival from the 99%
A film by Geoff Bowie
 
Tuesday, October 30, 7 p.m. (doors at 6:30)
Hart House, Debates Room (U of T), 7 Hart House Circle
 
Join DOC Toronto as we proudly present Courage as part of our new Community Connections free documentary screening series. This event includes a public discussion with filmmaker Geoff Bowie, film participant Bebeth Asseli, and labour organizers who will discuss workers' rights and workers' struggles during the post-recession economy.  Courage is being released by the NFB (National Film Board) to coincide with National Eradication of Poverty Month. Many Canadians have to work several jobs so they can make ends meet. Beyond a purely economic or political approach, Courage also delves into the social and pyschological impact of the situation. For Izabel, Bebeth, Natasha, Benoit Grace and Jean the economic crisis is up close and personal. They come together to share their experience of financial vulnerability. The stories of these very different individuals from around southwestern Ontario, reveal the worry and isolation they feel. But they also tell of their perseverance and determination to succeed. By turns touching and full of hope, Courage is a participatory social-issue film that emphasizes the importance of mutual support, successfully debunks preconceptions about the poor, and condemns the growing income inequality that has led to the 99% Occupy Movement, the anti-austerity, anti-poverty, and fair tax movements, where now even Warren Buffett is calling for higher taxes on the wealthiest class.

OISE, Rm 8820, 252 Bloor St W (St George subway)

In the US people are forced to vote for either a right-wing billionaire demagogue and elitist or Barack Obama, who has brought very little of the change he promised Americans four years ago. In Ontario, Premier Dalton McGuinty has effectively suspended democracy indefinitely, while at the same time forcing concessions and cutbacks on Ontario's teachers. This week's meeting will focus on a discussion of Their Democracy & Ours.
1) US elections - Vote for the lesser evil? - Intro by Evan Johnson
2) McGuinty & the Proroguing of Parliament in Ontario - Intro by Pam Johnson

Vegan Outreach for the environment *, for your health **, and for the animals ***

Every Wednesday (weather permitting) at noon to 2 p.m.
SW corner of Harbord & St. George, across from Robarts Library

(This action doubles as a weekly protest against animal testing at U of T) Organized by University of Toronto Animal Rights Club.
Contact <cruelandunnecessary at gmail.com> for more information.

* Go vegan for the environment: it is the fastest and easiest way to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions by one quarter to one third and your water consumption about by one half. 
** Go vegan for your health: as the film Forks Over Knives demonstrates, eating animal protein is tied to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. All the protein and iron and other nutrients we need are to be found in a whole-foods plant-based diet. 
*** Go vegan for the animals: annually 55 to 60 billion land-based non-human animals suffer and die horribly in brutal death camps known euphemistically as 'factory farms' and in slaughterhouses.

The good news is that with a little planning and a small investment in supplies and equipment, you can dramatically improve your chances or staying safe and healthy in any emergency.

The studies are in!

(Séralini, G.-E., et al. "Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize." Food Chem. Toxicol. (2012).

Breast cancer has become the poster child of cause-related marketing campaigns. Countless people walk, run and shop for the cure. Each year, millions of dollars are raised in the name of breast cancer, but where does this money go and what does it actually achieve? Directed by Léa Pool, produced by Ravida Din, and based on the book by Samantha King, Pink Ribbons, Inc. is a powerful and thoughtful feature documentary that shows how the devastating reality of breast cancer, which marketing experts have labeled a "dream cause," has become obscured by a shiny, pink story of success.

March Against Racism - Jason Kenny is Coming to Toronto 
Honouring our Communities - Confront! Oppose! Speak Out! Organize!

Sun. Nov. 4 - Rally starts at 4pm at David Pecaut Square (King & John) and will March to Fairmont Royal York Hotel (100 Front)
	
Jason Kenney is being awarded an ‘honorary’ degree by Israel's Haifa University at a fundraiser supported by Stephen Harper, Ezra Levant, Peter Munk, Stockwell Day and others. This event is a celebration of war, racism, corporate profit, displacement, apartheid and anti-migrant xenophobia – all intensified by the Conservative Party of Canada’s agenda. There is nothing honorable about this gathering. We call on our communities to gather in/to honour of our strength and resilience, in opposition to this award and gathering, and against the dishonorable acts of Kenney, Harper and their allies

Childcare and ASL will be available.

Semper Fi: Always Faithful

Sunday November 4 @ 10:30 am
Bloor Cinema (Bloor and Bathurst)

When Marine Corps Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger's young daughter dies from a rare type of leukemia, he wants to know why. Hints about polluted wells at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune leads him to others diagnosed with rare cancers, including a high number of men diagnosed with breast cancer. Further investigation uncovers a shocking discovery: a Marine Corps cover-up of one of the largest water contamination incidents in US history. This intelligent and dramatic documentary is both a searing look at the military's betrayal of its own and an emotional story of one man's transformation into the activist he never imagined he'd become.

** Bonus: 6 complementary tickets for the film & discussion to the first 6 people who email hello at rethinkbreastcancer.com with the subject line: Greenspiration

A People’s History of the War of 1812
with John Bell, Socialist Worker columnist 

Sunday, November 4 - 5:30 pm Dinner & Talk 
United Steelworkers Hall, 25 Cecil Street (near Spadina and College)
Toronto Centre fundraising dinner and talk, suggested donation $7-15

Stephen Harper has devoted at least $28 million to glorifying the War of 1812, as part of his ongoing campaign to "rebrand" Canada as a "warrior nation". There is a lot to remember and celebrate from this history, but it sure isn't what Harper wants us to know about: corruption, incompetence and greed among the rulers on both sides of the border; and a powerful urge to resist war by working people in the Canadas and in the battleground states.

Say No to The Royal Winter Fair

Sun. Nov. 4, noon - 2 p.m.
Princess Gates (at Lakeshore and Strachan) 

Expose the lies and systemic cruelty which surround the entire Royal Winter Fair. Join us for a demonstration outside of the fair to counter the "Royal Meat Goat Show".  For those who want to join us and enter the Royal to bear witness at the "Royal Meat Goat Show" it begins at 1:00 pm at The Annex inside the Exhibition grounds. 

This year the 90th Royal Agriculture Fair runs November 2nd - November 11th 2012 at the Exhibition Place in Toronto. The fair is a showcase of "modern" farming with many animals on display, live auctions, and meet and greets with farmers. It is basically a trade show which aims to convince the public that all is still kind, and good in farm country. This year as an added cruel twist there will be a run of the bulls of sorts. Please join the coalition of groups who are coming together to show these animal abusers that in Toronto (and surrounding cities) displays of cruelty will not be tolerated and accepted.
