Earlier this year, Canada reached a free-trade agreement with Colombia, and will likely try to ratify it some time in 2009. Colombia has the worst human rights record in the Western Hemisphere and a record of military belligerence towards its neighbours. Join us for a discussion of what's involved in the agreement, its impact on the people of Colombia and organizing against it.

 

Speakers:

Jasmin Hristov, author of Blood and Capital: The Paramilitarization of Colombia, Ph.D. candidate York University

Todd Gordon, writer on Canadian imperialism and Canada's free trade agreement with Colombia, member of New Socialist Group

Iliam Burbano, CUPE international solidarity activist

Sponsors: Socialist Project, New Socialist Group, Latin American Solidarity Network, Coalition Venezuela We Are With You
