AN INVITATION TO
THE CANADIAN CONFERENCE ON UNITY, SOVEREIGNTY AND PROSPERITY
(CUSP)
www.cusp-online.ca
to be held,
Saturday, November 30th and Sunday, December 1st, 2002,
Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 255 Front Street West, Toronto.
Would you like to become active in helping to expand the debate on such
issues as the privatization of our essential public services, the
selling-out of our natural resources, the expansion of corporate rule
or
the complete economic and military integration with the United States,
amongst others?
Many of us are concerned about Canada's loss of sovereignty and
international treaties that transfer power from our own parliament to
international bodies like the World Trade Organization. We are also
worried about our environment, the loss of our fish and forests, the
erosion of our soil and natural habitats, and the fact that our water
supply is in jeopardy and, under NAFTA, cannot be protected.
Fewer and fewer Canadians even bother to vote. Should we be looking at
other voting systems that better reflect the will of the people? Also,
there is a growing gap between rich and poor in our country and
internationally between rich and poor countries. Why is this
happening?
Equally alarming, our government is signing treaties that result in
the
sale of our most valuable assets and industries at fire sale prices.
Come out and hear our incredible lineup of speakers address these major
issues.
Join the other 2,000+ Canadians that we plan to have at this
conference for the purposes of defining the new National Agenda -
your agenda. You are welcome to participate as an attendee and/or
exhibitor. Visit our web site for more information.
Sincerely,
The CUSP'02 Organizing Committee
