🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not) Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you. We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer! 🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [\[Click here to watch trailer!\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKSdXH89jbo) 📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** In Mutiny, after witnessing his billionaire boss’s murder and being framed for the crime, Cole Reed (Jason Statham) boards a cargo ship on a one-man crusade to avenge his boss’ death only to discover an international conspiracy. *** ### 🗓️ **Event Details** 📍 **Meetup Time:** 6:30PM....I will only wait 5mins 🎬 **Movie Start Time:** 6:40pm ⏱️ **Runtime:** 1hr35mins 📌 **Meetup Spot:** I will be waiting at the top of the escalators on the 4th floor and I will be wearing my moose hat. 🎟️ **Cost:** * **$11.50** for *CineClub* members * **$16.00** regular admission 👉 You are responsible for buying your own ticket. **🪑 Reserved Seating:** You must buy your ticket *before* signing up.

2026 CBC Massey Lecture:  Housing Inc.

2026 CBC Massey Lecture: Housing Inc.

Tue, Sep 8, 10:30 PM
From TORONTO ARTS & CULTURE
4.6

Since 1965, [CBC IDEAS](http://cbc.ca/ideas) has broadcast the Massey Lectures, exploring the ideas that make us who we are. We attend the Massey Lecture every year. **Housing is not a luxury. It is a requirement for human existence.** In the 2026 CBC Massey Lectures, **Leilani Farha**, *global director of The Shift and former UN special rapporteur on the Right to Housing*, reckons with a crisis engineered by governments and perfected by financial firms. In her first Massey Lecture, “Home,” she explores how our homes shape our sense of dignity, identity, and security. Because home is so fundamental to our lives, she argues, our housing system is inextricably linked to the question of who lives, who dies, and who counts. **Ticket link here: ($26-$50) Any seat on any level is a great seat!** https://www.rcmusic.com/concert/the-2026-cbc-massey-lectures-housing-inc-456801 https://ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/ihrp-alumni-spotlight-leilani-farha https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/how-to-get-tickets-to-leilani-farhas-cbc-massey-lectures-9.7256001
