As noted in a previous campaign blog, “On Monday November 2, the Council of Canadians and Common Frontiers will hold a public forum with a tri-national civil society panel discussing the failure of NAFTA… and the urgent need for a new vision for continental cooperation.”
“This event is in Toronto, but will be videotaped by rabble.ca and posted to our website so that activists across the country can watch it.”
As promised, the video of this event is now linked to our website at http://canadians.org/publications/audio/trade/index.html.
You can also go directly to the rabble website to view it at http://rabble.ca/rabbletv/program-guide/2009/11/features/afta-nafta-manuel-perez-rocha.
The forum was moderated by our trade campaigner Stuart Trew, and featured John Foster, Kathy Ozer and Manuel Pérez-Rocha as the main speakers.
Stuart reported that more than 50 people came out on a rainy evening for this forum, including chapter activists from Niagara, Guelph and Toronto.
We are glad that many more people across the country will be able to see this event through video, and we hope that you find it a useful resource.
