[R-G] Legalizing Terror: The Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement

[Anthony Fenton]

Legalizing Terror:
The Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement

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. Watch the  
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
