Resistance 2010!: The links between the G8, SPP, the Olympics and local struggles
What are the links between the G8, the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and the upcoming 2010 Olympics? How are these issues linked to our local struggles for justice, dignity and self-determination,

This multi-media presentation – including photos and videos -- will look back at recent movements of contestation against the G8 (Genoa, Kananaskis/Ottawa) and SPP (Montebello), and at current resistance to the Olympics in "British Columbia".

Looking ahead to 2010, when all three events will take place in Canada, this presentation will provide a basic framework to discuss and debate about how to mobilize against these manifestations of capitalist and colonial power and oppression, linked to our tangible local campaigns and projects.

Presented by members of the People's Global Action (PGA) Bloc in Montreal
