The Anti-War Nation
Thursday, January 21, 2010, 7 PM
The Mississauga Coalition for Peace & Justice and the War Resisters Support Campaign are co-sponsoring a public forum in support of Bill C-440, the private member's bill calling on the government to allow US war resisters to stay in Canada. Similar events are being organized all over Ontario, and across Canada, to build public support for the bill.
Gaza Freedom March & Rally
Israel’s blockade of Gaza is a flagrant violation of international law that has led to mass suffering. The U.S., the European Union, and the rest of the international community are complicit. In late December, an international coalition will lead a march through from Egypt into Gaza to pressure the Israeli government to break the siege.
To be successful this cannot simply be an isolated action but rather we must make sure that it is a campaign. To this end, there will be solidarity marches around the world, including one in Toronto. There will be a rally at the Israeli Consulate at 1PM and the march will proceed down Yonge Street towards Dundas Square.
Sunday, December 27
1:00pm to 4:00pm

When: Saturday, January 10, 2009 Time: 11:00 a.m.
Where: Israeli Consulate, 180 Bloor St West , Toronto . (Buses will leave Palestine House at 10:15a.m. sharp)
Palestine House: 3195 Erindale Station Road , Mississauga
As the Israeli ground, air and sea assault continues on the civilian population of Gaza – we need to continue mobilizing against these war crimes. At least 540 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured in the single largest massacre in Gaza since Israel illegally occupied the area in 1967.
These latest war crimes occur in the context of official Canadian complicity with Israel 's illegal siege, bombardment and starvation of the civilian population in Gaza . We must denounce this on-going support - including the intensification of bilateral military, political and economic links between Canada and Israel . Palestinian civil society continues to urge solidarity in the form of a boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign until Israel complies with international law. This is the time for people of conscience to take up this call from Palestine.
Last Saturday, over 10,000 people rallied in Toronto in the largest Palestine solidarity demonstration in decades. This coming Saturday, millions of people across the globe will return to the streets in internationally coordinated demonstrations against the Israeli onslaught.
Join us this Saturday to demand that the Canadian government call for an immediate halt to Israel 's attacks and an end to the siege of Gaza !
