Shout Out for Global Justice"},"content":{"rendered":"

As finance ministers and heads of state of the world’s “richest” nations gathered for first the G8<\/a> and later the G20<\/a> meeting, the Council of Canadians<\/a> held a ‘Shout Out for Global Justice’ \u00a0featuring an abundance of resourceful people from the left. If you follow Democracy Now!, you can hear Amy Goodman’s talk, “Drilling, Spilling and Killing: From Oil Spills to Oil Wars.” \u00a0DN! sent out a Tweet pointing to a Canadian news outlet, I had not heard of rabble.ca. You can see the whole ‘Shout Out’ streamed on a loop from RabbleTV<\/a>.\u00a0 You can also see how the Canadian government spent more than $1 Billion fortifying Toronto for the G20 meeting and some of the demonstrations that have occurred. <\/a><\/p>\n

Included in the ‘Shout Out’ are a bunch of people with interesting and resourceful responses to NeoLiberal globalization.<\/p>\n

Dr. Vandana Shiva has been successful in thwarting the attempt by U.S. chemical giant Monsanto to monopolize the seed stock of Indian agriculture. I have a woman friend from India who is not particularly left politically. She has completed her medical training. \u00a0She acknowledges that, “It was a good thing she [Shiva] did with the seeds.” \u00a0My friend understands biology, I hope she will grow in political economy as well.<\/p>\n

Pablo Solon, Bolivian UN Ambassador, discusses the struggle to resist privatization of resources in Bolivian. Many losses preceded the eventual success in resisting the privatization of water.<\/p>\n

Naomi Klein, remarks on the security surrounding the G20 meeting.<\/p>\n

Maude Barlow, Chairman of the Council of Canadians and author of Blue Gold<\/a>.<\/p>\n
