QuAIA deputation -- Pride 2011

On May 25, 2011, QuAIA (Queers Against Israeli Apartheid) presented this video at Toronto City Council's Executive Committee as our deputation on the Toronto City Manager report on 'Pride Toronto's compliance with City anti-discrimination policy.' The City Manager concluded that the term Israeli apartheid did not violate any laws or city anti-discrimination policy (app.toronto.ca/​tmmis/​viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2011.EX5.1) Mayor Ford stopped the video after the four minute mark. You can watch the whole thing.

An open letter to Robert Lantos: In defence of the Toronto Declaration

Dear Robert,

Thanks for your two interesting letters of last week, responding to our Toronto Declaration. For me, the 1000+ signatories are an inspiring and eclectic group, reading like the cast list of a new Guy Maddin movie (David Bryne, Julie Christie, Alice Walker and Slavoj Zizek, together in Saddest Music: The Sequel). Guy himself signed on Friday.
