Toronto's fundraising cruise Saturday, Sept. 25, on Canada's largest river showboat, the Jubilee Queen, was fully attended, with 200 passengers aboard and turn-away hopefuls, requiring last-minute scheduling of additional food for the three-course, tastes-of-the-Mediterranean buffet, to accommodate the more than planned for demand.

The on-board entertainment available to the broad multicultural ship's passenger list included the musical group, Mraya, and renowned performer, George Sawa, historian of medieval Arabic music and expert player of the 26-stringed Qanun, similar to a zither.

At 4:30 p.m. Saturday, June 26, while hundreds were left uninterrupted to wreak havoc throughout the city of Toronto, Chelsea 20, (white shirt), and her friend Bridie (tiedye) were attested during a peaceful protest on King just west of Yonge.

Chelsea (of Cleveland, Ohio) is a Political Science and Latin American studies student at the University of Toronto. She was protesting decisions made by the G20 and the poverty in the world. She sat down with hope that if everyone sat down together, the riot police would have to fall back. It turned out that this was not the case.

UPCOMING: The Corporation is screening at Toronto's Hot Docs in the "Ripping Reality" program, in the company of other such classics as Darwin's Nightmare, The Fog of War, and Iraq in Fragments.
Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 12:30 pm, Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Avenue.
