Jul 3, 2025 - Repeal Bill 5 Rally

When: July 3rd, 4pm
Where: MPP David Smith's constituency office, Scarborough Centre, 2063 Lawrence Ave E

MPP David Smith voted in favour of passing Bill 5-- a dangerous bill that guts the Endangered Species Act, removes protections for green spaces, workers' safety and regulation, and violates Indigenous Treaties. Bill 5 gives Ford and the Provincial government unchecked power to seize land, and David Smith allowed it to happen.

David Smith represents community hubs like Thompson Park, and the Birkdale Ravine, yet supports policies that threaten their existence. As former Trustee for Toronto District School Board Ward 17, he should know that this legislation will impact young people the most, stripping them of their right to access clean air, water, and green space.

Jul 2, 2025 - FilmSocial: Smiley Face

When: Wednesday July 2nd, 6:45pm
Where: Eyesore Cinema, 1176 Bloor St W.
Free/PWYC

The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is very pleased to present Smiley Face as the latest installment in the ongoing FilmSocial series.

Not very often do stoner comedies bring in The Communist Manifesto, but there also aren't very many directors like Gregg Araki, who is able to successfully combine the absurd with the political. Smiley Face follows Jane (Anna Faris), a struggling but perpetually stoned actress in L.A., as she tries to complete a busy day of tasks, such as paying her electric bill, going to an audition and buying more weed. Her day is made that much harder when she unknowingly eats an entire tray of pot-laced cupcakes.

The result is a hilarious series of misadventures in the same vein as movies like After Hours and The Big Lebowski. Jane's day starts to get really out of control when she gets her hands on a first edition copy of The Communist Manifesto.
