It's called Integrate This!.

The Council of Canadians will be there to tell them what Canadians really think about the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

5. GG, are you member of the Council of Canadians?

Been thinking about making a donation myself.

I've always admired Maude Barlow's efforts in this area. Stopping that NAFTA water deal was great.

But almost nobody would have heard of the deal without her.

6. My partner is.

She's the one who put up the OP. She contributes regularly to CoC, and just gave them a on-time donation to help with the SPP protest.
