Public Forum: From NAFTA to the Security and Prosperity PartnershipThe West Kootenat SPP Awareness Group is holding a Public Forum: From NAFTA to the Security and Prosperity Partnership on Tuesday, June 3 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at Nelson United Church. Bring pillows for your own comfort. Donations welcomed. Call it what you will: NAFTA; Security and Prosperity Partnership(SPP); or Deep Integration, this agreement will have little benefit for the average Canadian. Learn why you should be concerned about the insidious nature in which the three North American governments (Canada, the U.S. and Mexico) have been moving toward establishing a pact to speed up the corporate goal of economic integration by linking trade to U.S. government security demands. The featured speaker is Bob Hansen, chair of the Mid-Island Nanaimo Chapter of the Council of Canadians, who is working on the production of a film, Trading Democracy for Corporate Rule. Two members of the West Kootenay SPP Working Group, Varenka Schwarz of the Selkirk College Students' Union and Pegasis McGauley of the Nelson chapter of the Council of Canadians, who attended the Alternative People's Summit in New Orleans April 21 and 22 in opposition to the North American Leaders' Summit, will share what they learned. Giving a local perspective is Gary Wright, Mayor of the Village of New Denver, who has written a letter demanding a democratic mandate from the people of Canada regarding the SPP. Local singer, Melanie Harper, having just released her new song and DVD about the SPP, will sing "Canadian and Free". Also, the Raging Grannies will give their unique view. Council of Canadians is partially sponsoring this event, and has made timely information available for the taking. For more information contact Sandra Nelken at 352-5274 or Pegasis McGauley at 229-4223. |

"Find out just what people
will submit to, and you have found the exact amount of injustice and wrongdoing
which will be imposed on them; and these will continue until they are resisted
with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed
by the endurance of those whom they oppress." "There is no reason to think a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens cannot change the world; indeed, that's the only thing that
ever has." It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see
the problem. Gordon Campbell's Legacy: |
