Porter Airlines opens its new Terminal at the Island Airport Monday  
morning. Let’s greet them!

Monday February 22
DEMO AT 8 a.m. - 9 a.m.
South side of Queen’s Quay at Eireann Quay

The Port Authority has announced that they are doubling the capacity  
of the Island Airport without any documentation or proper prior  
consultation. We need to tell Porter, and the TPA, that airport  
expansion is destroying the liveability of our waterfront. And that it  
is utterly incompatible with all the wonderful activities that the  
people of Toronto, and our many guests, enjoy and look forward to on  
the Waterfront.

CommunityAIR has worked diligently to obtain enforcement of the rules  
negotiated by the City in 1983 to protect our communities and our  
waterfront from excessive airport noise and pollution.

To make the point that jamming a busy and drastically expanding  
airport into our community just doesn’t work, we will be crossing the  
two-lane Eireann Quay (a local road the is the only access to the  
airport)– on the green (walk)  light from the south corners of Queen’s  
Quay and Eireann Quay from 8:00 til 9:00 a.m.

This airport was never intended to be a busy commercial airport. Only  
limited commercial service using STOL (Short Take Off & Landing)  
aircraft is permitted. Porter’s Q400 is NOT STOL. The Tripartite  
Agreement was negotiated by the City to protect the waterfront from  
over-expansion.

Tripartite Agreement not upheld:  The City has failed to uphold the  
Tripartite Agreement, and the Port Authority has run amok, taking  
advantage of this lack of opposition.  Their latest ploy?  The Port  
Authority has announced, with no justification, that they are going to  
ramp up the flights to 212 daily, when the original study set a limit  
of 97 . (Porter’s already past that)  This will mean a flight every 4  
minutes.  Why aren't they being stopped?

Cost to taxpayers: Millions of dollars of tax-payers dollars have been  
poured into this facility--the latest being $900,000 for a planned  
"noise barrier" that will have highly questionable success.  Hundreds  
of thousands more Federal dollars will be spent on added security and  
fire service requirements.  This is a total duplication of resources,  
as Pearson is not at capacity. All this to support a private company  
from which the public will never financially benefit.

Social Costs:  This expanded airport business is ruining the  
Waterfront for all.  And the impact on the local neighbourhood is  
devastating:  A mess of dangerous traffic funneling down what was once  
a quiet neighbourhood street past a school, day care centre, community  
centre and park, and horrendous additional air, water and noise  
pollution (the Board of Health is very concerned) is spreading across  
the waterfront.

Mismanagement:  We have a  Port Authority that cannot manage its  
tenant:  airport curfew hours are regularly breached, extended engine  
run-ups occur even at 3 a.m., overflights of noise sensitive areas  
have occured regularly for years, in spite of complaints.

Security:  How can this airport possibly ever be adequately made  
"secure"?  It is surrounded by recreational and residential uses,  
right up to its gates, with water access on all sides.  Flights are  
now regularly coming to and from the US.  Downtown is a mere  
adjustment to the flight path.

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize - The Power of Vision for Activists
Mon Feb 22, 6:30-9:00 pm


COST: Suggested $25 (with a pay what you can option)
LOCATION: contact Henry for location

Information / registration: Henry Wai 416-913-8861  wai_renooy at sympatico.ca

When we care so much about a social or environmental issue, there can  
be a strong focus on what we're against (anti-oppression, combatting  
carbon emissions, anti-globalism, etc.). In order to sustain and  
enliven our activism, it helps to be plugged into the power and beauty  
of our vision. After all, Martin Luther King's 1963 speech focused on  
"I have a dream" not "I have a nightmare". He appealed to everyone  
with a compelling vision "that one day on the red hills of Georgia,  
the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be  
able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood". For our own  
resilience and for engaging others to join in our campaigns, it is  
powerful to speak from such a grounded place. Join us to engage our  
minds and hearts for envisioning, documenting (with colour and image)  
and sharing what we care deeply about.

Solidarity Rally!
Venezuelan Democracy vs. Harper Conservative Hypocrisy

Thursday, February 25 at 5pm
365 Bloor St. East (at Sherbourne), In front of Venezuelan Consulate

Conservative Minister for the Americas Peter Kent has publicly  
criticized Venezuela as 'undemocratic' for applying its laws to TV and  
radio broadcasters. Kent and his fellow Harper Conservatives shouldn't  
speak about democracy when it has closed parliament for months to  
avoid being investigated for complicity in handing over detainees to  
torture in Afghanistan.

People in Toronto, Montreal and Caracas, Venezuela will be  
demonstrating in support of the democratic people's movement in  
Venezuela and exposing the hypocrisy of the Harper Conservatives who  
wage war in Afghanistan while avoiding public accountability at home.

Solidarity with the Haitian People: A film series on Haiti’s fight for  
self-determination
Haiti: We Must Kill the Bandits (2007). Directed by Kevin Pina

Fri. February 26, 7 p.m.

OISE,  252 Bloor Street West (next to the St. George subway station),  
Room 2-211 (2nd floor)

Blood literally runs in the streets through the chronicle of Feb.  
2004's forced ouster of Haiti's elected President Jean Bertrand  
Aristide and the terror of its citizens that followed. Aristide and  
his Lavalas political party were democratically elected in 2000 by  
Haiti's poor majority. The film shows thousands of Aristide supporters  
gathered to celebrate his inauguration; he promised political and  
social change, better education, food, and health care for the masses.  
Although this documentary is a chronicle of oppression, the courage  
and hope of the poor masses of the Haitian people is by far the most  
unforgettable element of the story. Written by Kevin Pina

Speaker: Adelin Brunal, University of Toronto

Sponsors: CUPE Local 3902, Toronto Haiti Action Committe, CUPE Local  
3907, International Solidarity Committee and Racial Justice Committee  
(CUPE Ontario), A Different Booklist, Association of Part-time  
Undergraduate Students (APUS)

Facilitation 101
with Lesley Wood

Friday, February 26th, 11am-2pm (lunch will be served)
The Centre for Women and Trans People, 563 Spadina Cres (south of  
Harbord)

A major part of movement building is lots and lots of meetings.  
Meetings can be inspiring, hellish, or somewhere in between. The  
quality of a meeting depends a lot on good facilitation! Being a  
facilitator is not running the show and it is more than keeping track  
of the people who want to speak. So what is it?

Come learn and share strategies on how to maintain good communication,  
equity, active listening and effective decision making for meetings of  
all shapes and sizes.

*RSVP to opirg.toronto at gmail.com.

Part of the OPIRG-Toronto TOOLS for CHANGE Workshop Series.  TOOLS for  
CHANGE is a series of skills-sharing and skills-building workshops  
designed to help you gain the tools for doing research, education, and  
action for social justice. This series is organized by the Ontario  
Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG-Toronto), active at the  
University of Toronto and in downtown Toronto since 1982.

the strength and promise of Venezuela ’s Bolivarian revolution.
