Bump
One last bump.
Very good, upbeat, noisy demo today. About 75-80 people chanted "Barrick Gold, Canada's shame" and "Shame on you Barrick Gold, human rights cannot be sold" while Barrick's directors and shareholders walked in and out of their meeting.
So glad it went well! Wish I had been there instead of in a meeting. :(

"We are attacked continuously and we are attacked often by a very noisy and very articulate opposition," Munk told shareholders. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100428/business/barrick_gold_29
