Velvet Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I'm gonna try and hit the Ottawa show: The Council of Canadians is conducting a ten-city tour called Crossing The Line: A Citizens' Inquiry on Canada-U.S. Relations. We are seeking to raise awareness of the dangers of the push from Canadian corporate lobby groups for more economic and social integration with the United States. Each tour stop will focus on an area of concern. The daytime event will be a hearing, where experts and citizens will present testimonials on Canada-U.S. relations in the context of the focus topic for that city. It will be presided over by a panel of Commissioners with roots in the community, outstanding professional reputations and a deep concern about the future of Canada – U.S. relations. Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, will be a Commissioner in each city. The Council of Canadians will be collecting the information that we gather on the road and incorporating it into a final report. The evening event, a free public forum, will examine the broader issue of Canada-U.S. relations and the threat to Canadian sovereignty. It will feature Maude Barlow and a panel of local speakers.

StoneMtn Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Too bad there are no Vancouver dates. Among others, I would enjoy seeing Maude Barlow speak. She knows her stuff, having once written a great gook on the FTA called "Parcel of Rogues". I hope there is a strong turnout for these, as Canadians have to support this type of initiative to show that we actually DO care. PS Does this mean we can expect a bolder Velvet comin' alive in 2005? [color:"purple"]I'm not so sure that's a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermontdave Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I was gona start a thread about something that's related to this. What's up with the new ambassador from Ottawa? I can't recall his name, but I read he was some kind of top-dog with the Carlyle Group. I ain't fond of Bushy Canadians :: peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
