Are we ready to take poker from the kitchen table to the public forum? This is meant more than just physically but also metaphorically.

Toronto Truth Seekers (TTS) was formed originally by members of Toronto 9/11 Truth groups active since 2004.  911 was a momentous way many people learned and continue to learn about what is really going on in our world from the point of view of those who control what goes on behind the scenes, caring nothing for the amount of the depth of tragedy, trauma and corruption they are causing to achieve their final agenda. However; 911 is a stepping stone, and since those events, TTS has since expanded …

This is a meetup opportunity to catch up with other Sheridan retirees on a spontaneous basis.   Many of us have the "I don't know how I ever found time to work!" syndrome as retirees and may not want a regular meeting time and place.  So the idea with this meetup is that the organizer -- OR -- any 3 members who say they will attend an event can trigger it being announced to the rest of the members.  This is also for those soon to retire from Sheridan who want to be kept in the loop if there are …
