George W. Bush in Canada
George W. Bush was at a meeting of government leaders in Halifax, Nova Scotia a few years ago. At that time I was working for a cooperative business that held Social Justice as one of its business goals. The management consented to have employees and a company vehicle travel to the approved protest area in the city and serve free fair trade coffee and hot chocolate to the demonstrators. I fully approved of this action, but I chose not to participate.
Right now, George W. Bush is sitting down with the leaders of Canada and Mexico at a luxury hotel in Quebec. Canadian government is presently more right wing than it has been in decades and protesters are pointing to the secrecy of these meetings as undemocratic. Most of the demonstrators want a peaceful protest. There are anarchists there though and I worry about people getting hurt.
