2. UPDATE: AUDREY TOBIAS, 2ND APPEARANCE IN COURT, OCT 3 (From Audrey’s friends at VANA, Veterans Against Nuclear Arms)
Audrey Tobias, the 88-year old war veteran who didn’t fill in a 2011 Census form (INSERT: because of Lockheed Martin’s involvement) will be in Court on Thursday, October 3, at 10 am in the Old Toronto City Hall. You are cordially invited to attend to support Audrey. When you get to Old City Hall, ask at the security desk in what room the Audrey Tobias Census charge is being heard.
There’s a picture of Audrey (very colourful lady!), and her story (Jan 23/13) at http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/01/23/toronto_peace_activist_88_could_go_to_jail_for_refusing_to_fill_out_census.html
