Thanx Stewart! Hi Greg! I'm sending this to the LibrePlanet Ontario
mailing list.

LibrePlanet Ontario has met irregularly in person, and even more
irregularly in a Mumble chat. The next one is scheduled for 24 April
at 9:00pm.  There's probably a large enough presence in Toronto that
there could be an IRL meeting on the 24th.

The LibrePlanet Ontario web page is at

https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Ontario

and anyone can sign up to the mailing list at

http://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-ca-on

- --Bob, who *is* interested in fighting the TPP but doesn't know where
to get started.
