People are Occupying the Enbridge Line 9 Site
Come stand with individuals from Six Nations & their allies who have shut down work on Enbridge’s line 9 near Cambridge. Folks will host an action camp on site using this direct action as an opportunity to do teach-ins and skill shares centred around indigenous nationhood and direct action. Line 9 is an avenue to expand the tarsands which threaten the water & land it must be stopped. Come sleep with us under the stars & learn some skills! Shuttles: text 647-636-3838.

Citizen Koch
Toronto Premiere
Fri. July 25 – Thur. July 31
Bloor Hot Docs (at Bathurst)
In this searing exposé on the state of democracy in America and the fracturing of the Republican Party, Academy Award-nominated directors Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (directors of Trouble the Water; co-producers of Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine) follow the money behind the rise of the Tea Party. Citizen Koch investigates the impact on the electoral process of the unlimited and anonymous spending by corporations and billionaires. Alternately terrifying and funny, this eye-opening film is an essential and powerful portrait of our political times.
