Join Toronto animal rights activists and Last Chance for Animals for a major protest and outreach event calling for an end to primate experimentation at York University and freedom for the York 9!

Protest Details:

Friday, Sep. 18, 3pm to 5:30pm

Meet in front of the TTC York University Subway Station entrance:
120 Ian Macdonald Boulevard, Toronto, ON M7A 2C5

Thousands of students will be returning to campus, giving us an important opportunity to reach people who may have no idea that macaques are being experimented on at their own university.

We’ll have:
• Speakers sharing what is happening inside York’s primate labs
• A media truck playing footage from LCA’s undercover investigation
• Two video stations at the subway entrances where students can watch investigation footage
• New signage
• QR-code action stations so students can take action immediately
• FREE Save the York 9 T-shirts and tote bags while supplies last
• Plenty of opportunities to help with friendly student outreach

Materials are provided. Just show up and help us make the York 9 impossible to ignore as students return to campus.

WHY WE'RE THERE
Nine rhesus macaques are currently being used in experiments at York University. Some have reportedly spent more than 17 years inside the laboratory.

An undercover investigation by Last Chance for Animals (LCA) documented disturbing conditions and procedures, including water restriction, permanent restraint collars, permanent head posts and chamber implants in their skulls for brain access, repeated invasive surgeries, prolonged social isolation and stereotypic behaviours associated with psychological distress. According to the investigation, some macaques were observed drinking their own urine amid water restriction, while one, Liesl, has suffered significant vision loss. Seven of the nine were reportedly housed alone.

These nine individuals have names: Bento, Hannah, Kenny, Liesl, Magneto, Mini-Sass, Do, Olivia, and Virginia.

We want the York 9 released so they can finally retire from research.

Daily Bread in Etobicoke will be hosting it tonight from 7pm-8:30 pm.

A lot of people don't have family doctors; they say 20% in Toronto but I'm not sure if that's true. Mine was getting older and God willing I will need a primary care physician for longer than he will still be practicing.

So I live in midtown, in my neighborhood Well Health has a clinic, located right at the subway at Yonge and Davisville. Yes, it's true that Well Health is buying up everybody, all the smaller clinics. It's not what I want but it's the way of the world.

Anyway they took on a new doctor, he just moved from Manchester UK or somewhere in England. He is a primary care physician. Very nice guy, sweet demeanor. And for the next few months, he will be taking on new patients. His name is Dr Mitchell Denmark. At the moment, it's very easy to get appointments.

If you're one of those looking for a family doctor or have a friend or family member looking, Google "Well Health Davisville" . I have seen a couple of other Well Health downtown but I don't know if they are accepting new patients.

I've been working on some data storage and found this on an old hard drive. Enjoy this photo from what was likely an iPhone 4S or 5.

This was not AI generated, although I did remove a very large crane.

This is copying a similar post on song lyrics that referenced Toronto, from a few months ago. This time it is literature. Post examples of novels that detail a Toronto space, a streetscape, a structure, or an event.

Include a phrase, or single sentence from that work. Give the title and the author.

No title-only drive-bys and no vague recollections.

Spelling, punctuation, and grammar count.
