UPDATE: Major speeches by Maude Barlow this past year

Over the past nine months, Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow has delivered numerous key speeches that give inspiration and insight into our campaigns against mining injustices, water privatization, the Canada-European Union free trade deal, the Keystone XL pipeline and the dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board, as well as for the recognition of the Great Lakes as a commons, water justice, the Canada Health Accord we want, and much more.
