11:00am- Sheila White, Founder of the Litter Prevention Program, Re: White is taking on Pfizer and Young & Rubicam over an advertising campaign in Canada that portrays a woman littering. She has complained to the giant Pfizer pharmaceutical company about its television commercial for nicotine replacement therapies, running until March that features a female smoker returning to the high school where she first started smoking cigarettes. At the end, she stubs her cigarette butt on the steps of the school. White wants that image of littering altered and replaced, or the ad substituted or pulled. Pfizer Canada says that’s not going to happen.
11:30am- Bill Tufts, Director of Fair Pensions For All and Pension Reform Advocate, Re: University pensions across Ontario have skyrocketed.

Total aggregate unfunded pension liabilities for DBRS rated universities ballooned to approximately $3.2 BILLION in 2011.
