Join Liberty Labs Toronto for our sixth meetup on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 7 PM near Yonge and Eglinton! In the spirit of individual liberty, we’ll explore the libertarian case for the right to self-defense—why no one should depend on the state for personal protection—and discuss practical, legal options available in Canada (firearms ownership, training, non-lethal alternatives, and situational awareness). No prior experience needed! What to expect: * Open discussion on self-defense rights and libertarian principles * Hands-on look at legal tools and resources (pal/rpal info, training options, everyday carry ideas) * Complimentary appetizers and a drink ticket * Everyone who attends will receive a million-dollar Zimbabwe note as a fun take-home reminder of real value vs. fiat illusions * Connect with 10-20 liberty-minded Torontonians Venue: Pickle Barrel (2300 Yonge St, at Yonge & Eglinton), right above Eglinton Station. Easy parking in the Yonge Eglinton Centre garage or nearby Green P lots. RSVP on Meetup or Eventbrite to save your spot. Let’s talk about true personal sovereignty—together!

Open hearts from across the GTA coming together to learn what the Bible has to teach us through the very words of Jesus, in a welcoming and fun atmosphere. Open to all Bible enthusiasts. ***Attention*** We meet in the Yonge-Sheppard Centre Food Court at the tables in front of SECOND CUP\*\*\* (lower level) Great for those who are familiar with Jesus, starting their walk with Jesus, or want to begin to know Jesus.

Hey there! Techalicious is back, and we're kicking things off with a casual hangout at a local pub. No agenda, no presentations - just grab a drink and meet some fellow tech enthusiasts. This is our first event, so come say hi, chat about what you're working on or interested in, and help shape what this group becomes. Whether you're into AI, coding, Linux, self-hosting, or just tech in general - you're in the right place. First round of conversation is on the house. Drinks are on you. See you there!

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/Da9fZFxPfs **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.
