It?s public money, and yet we?re giving it to private banks. Why? We have our own public bank, owned by us, but we?re borrowing from other people?s banks. Why? What rights do we still have under Canadian law? Where does money really come from anyway? John Riddell?s video, The Privatisation of the Money Supply and the Growth of Government Debt. explains this and more. Discussion follows. I?ve booked the party room in my building for this. You may but don?t have to bring snacks you want to share (or have for yourself), and we?re providing some as well. If you can, stay and help clean up (so I get my deposit back).

WHEN: 7:30 PM, TUESDAY September 18, 2007. It?s free, of course, with no donations requested

HOW TO GET TO THE BUILDING: 2 blocks north of the Wellesley Subway station, ¼ block east of Yonge; or 4 blocks south of Bloor St

The Security and Propserity Partnership of North America (SPP) was announced by the leaders of Canda, Mexico and the US in March 2005. The SPP seeks to eliminate or scale down regulations in areas likeimmigration, food and agriculture, and to enact a continent-wide resource pact and security perimeter - a few of the 300 policy areas to be affected. Both TILMA and the SPP were signed without public consultation or legislative debate!!!!!
