A Special Public Rally on April 2, 2009, at 12 noon. "No Nuclear Now." No nuclear energy now. We want to keep the message simple and direct.
The location is still a secret, but please read on! We can tell you that the rally's going to be downtown Toronto, in the financial, business, cultural centre. Please join us at a special public rally, that we hope begins a new era of nuclear consciousness and concern by the citizens of Ontario, Canada and the world.
We've gotten local, national and international media coverage to important social causes before. As you know, you often need a creative “twist” to your event, to get the attention of the media and public; our event shall be a first. So the location and concept is still a secret. But please do plan to come out, and join us on this very important cause. Truly, your personal future and that of the people of the world is at stake.
No new nuclear energy now! In a mere 90 days, Ontario may start the clock on the end of the world --no exaggeration. By making one of the world's largest commitment to new nuclear energy stations, Ontario will restart one of the most expensive and dangerous government programs ever created by mankind: expensive, deadly nuclear power stations.
The Ontario Government plans to spend $26 Billion on new nuclear energy in Ontario. That money could do so much for the Ontario economy, to launch green jobs; inject money into medical research, the arts; helping the poor, homeless, unemployed…
Some politicians, nuclear company CEO's and their investment bankers on Wall Street/Bay Street are trying to stop you and the media from knowing the truth about the economic, green environmental and safety dangers of nuclear energy.
Amongst our speakers, Greg Allen, a lifetime energy activist and visionary; the recipient of the 2008 City of Toronto Green Awards. Ms Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu, a social and energy activist; a member of various global climate change coalitions; and a critic of global nuclear energy proliferation.
Our organizers include people who have created special events that have gotten local, national and international media, including an event that may be one of the only Canadian stories to be featured on the coveted Page One of USA TODAY, America's and one of the world's largest and best known newspapers.
We are urging you to join this rally, the broader movement, to get out the truth about the dangers of nuclear energy. No Nuclear Energy Now. Help us get the word out.
In 90 days, the Government of Ontario plans to commit $26 Billion Cdn to one of the largest nuclear programs since the Chernobyl nuclear energy station disaster --that released into the air, radioactive dust clouds that exposed millions of people in Russia, the Ukraine, Europe and even North America....
Our facts and motivation are simple: No Nuclear Now. No nuclear energy now.
Because nuclear energy is NOT green.
Because nuclear energy is NOT cheap energy.
Because nuclear energy is NOT safe.
Nuclear energy may NOT be even needed.
A rally on April 2, 2009, 12 noon. Please tell your family, friends, co-workers, far and wide. If nuclear power is unleashed in Ontario, it shall spread throughout the world. Come out to the rally, if you can. “Tune-in” to our blogspot here, if you can. Contribute your thoughts, campaign ideas, information. Together, we can --together, we must-- send the message to the peoples of Canada and the world: NO NUCLEAR NOW.

Our event also inspired by the new social network of dailychallenge.org
Funny enough, we can't tell you exactly why yet, but we wanted to thank also Afshin and Darius, founders of dailychallenge.org, in their unknowing inspiration of our upcoming April 2, 2009 public rally event too!
We can't reveal yet, how exactly they inspired us, as that might give away our event's special "twist" that makes our event another "first" in city, and maybe in the world!
So stay tuned --or better yet, come out to our rally on April 2, 2009, downtown Toronto, meeting at Dundas Square, 12 noon-- as we hope to help bring publicity to the important cause of community activists and citizens concerned by a possible unprecedented proliferation of dangerous, deadly, unnecessary nuclear energy!
Thanks again to Afshin, Darius and the members at dailychallenge, who are trying to help people and better our world too! P.S. They have great upcoming event too. See their website.
We need to outreach and stand together, the good people of Toronto, Canada and the world!

Redwire's unique twitter event helped inspire us on our rally
A quick word of thanks and appreciation to RedWire's Sarah Prevette, Founder. Without knowing it, her enthusiasm, creativity, and knowledge of social networking, helped inspire us in creating our upcoming April 2, 2009 public rally! Her network got media attention to their good society cause, by organizing their whole event in Feb 2009, by the Twitter, the social network! They got great local and national media coverage!
Well, as you know, we're pretty good at getting local, national and international media coverage too --by the conventional communications route of flyers and emails. So we're stirring the creativity pot, in hopes of drawing badly needed public and media attention to the important cause of the dangers of nuclear power! Nuclear power is NOT green, NOT clean, NOT economical, and NOT safe!! Yet our Ontario Government wants to spend $26 Billion on it; and is trying to shutdown the media and public debate on this issue!
Please support this important cause, and attend our "public rally with a twist," on April 2, 2009, 12 noon to 1pm, meeting at Dundas Square, downtown Toronto.

I am going to your April 2nd rally, because I am very surprised and angry, by the information, that I see, here, about nuclear energy. The government tells us that nuclear is safe, clean, reliable! Now I see on your blog, that nuclear is still very dangerous!
I did not buy a house in Pickering, for the very reason, that it was too close to Pickering. When I was looking for a house, I remember thinking, who would want to live so close to a nuclear power plant? Now you tell me that my family and I, and Toronto is in the danger zone still!
You're right. The radiation would carry in the air for miles!
Thank you for your efforts, and information! See you Thursday.

Amy WL: I don't understand Minister George Smitherman
Amy WL writes:
The Honourable Minister for Energy and Infrastructure for Ontario, George Smitherman, went to Europe in the summer of 2008, to consider the future of Ontario’s energy policies and opportunities. He stated then that the green policies and opportunities in Europe were most impressive, and inspiring.
How can Minister Smitherman and the Government of Ontario be so committed nuclear energy?!

There's hope to reconsider nuclear energy: The Economist: Germany reconsiders nuclear power
Germany reconsiders nuclear power
Aug 2nd 2007 From The Economist print edition
UNTIL recently, nuclear power seemed to be making its way back into public favour in Germany. A warm winter, and dire warnings by scientists about climate change, convinced many that carbon emissions might be a bigger danger than nuclear accidents or radioactive waste. Opinion polls this spring showed that fewer than half of Germans favoured continuing the policy, adopted in 2000, of phasing out all nuclear plants by 2021.
About a quarter of Germany's electricity still comes from nuclear reactors, and the country's four big power companies had dared to hope for a reprieve for nuclear power—at least to extend the life of existing reactors, if not permission to build new ones. But that changed at the end of June, when two separate accidents at nuclear plants operated by Vattenfall, a Swedish company, in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, set back the pro-nuclear lobby once again.

More sad proof that mankind cannot control nuclear energy
In an article by Bill Sammon, FOXNews.com (March 30, 2009), Sammon writes "The (American) defense secretary told FOX News Sunday that the United States can do nothing to stop North Korea from thumbing its nose at the international community by test-firing a long-range missile."
The North Korean leader, one of the most secretive, despotic leaders in the world, is on the verge of entering the nuclear arms race. The source of his nuclear bomb material? --civilian nuclear energy plants, of course... The people of the world need to carefully consider the consequences of a new proliferation of nuclear energy...
