Toronto
Cahoots
Theatre Projects in association with Teesri Duniya Theatre
Present: "Bhopal"
Labelled
the "Hiroshima of the chemical industry", the 1984 gas leak at the
Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India released nearly
40 tons of toxic chemicals into a city of one million people.
Almost 20 years later, tens of thousands of victims and survivors
of the world's largest industrial disaster still await justice.
The perpetrators, however, walk free.
"Bhopal" is a rich, complex play exploring the human and
political reality behind this disaster.
Where: The Theatre Centre, 1087 Queen St. West (at
Dovercourt)
When: October 18th to November 9th, 2003

action
GET ACTIVE: NOV 1 IS STOP
ESSO DAY II
SAVE THE CLIMATE - STOP ESSO

thousands of people have turned their backs on Esso. Now we need
your help to stop Esso here in Canada. November 1 will be a
national day of action to expose Esso's dirty deeds, and tell Esso
to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. To get
involved go to www.stopesso.ca and email stopesso@stopesso.ca

No GE
wheat
 If you haven't
already, please take a moment to sign Greenpeace's petition
against genetically engineered (GE) wheat. Monsanto has applied to
grow GE wheat in Canada, and we want to make sure the Canadian
government knows consumers don't want GE wheat! Click
