HOODWINKED
The Myth of Free Trade
A film by Bill Dunn and Linda West
http://www.hoodwinked.ca
$12 evening, $9 matinee
$8 youth (14-17) and students with valid ID
$7 seniors and children
The U.S. Democratic presidential nomination race has put the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) back into the political discourse with both
Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton promising to renegotiate the agreement, if
elected president.
What is NAFTA? If it's true that Americans are unhappy with it, what about
Canadians? Is this "trade agreement" good for Canada, as our government is
telling us? What are the critics saying? Is NAFTA forcing Canada into closer
integration with the U.S. and what does that mean?
Next week in Vancouver (May 14-15), The Ridge is screening Hoodwinked:
the Myth of Free Trade, a film by Canadian film makers Bill Dunn and
Linda West, that attempts to answer those questions and more. Using seldom
seen archival material the film presents Canada's 400-year history and
examines the relationship with its powerful neighbour leading up to the
signing of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 1989 and NAFTA in
1993. The film is narrated by historian and former Senator Laurier
Lapierre and explores the issues raised by the agreements in interviews
with former Prime Minister John Turner; sociologist Peter Urmetzer;
Canada Research Chair for Social Justice and critic of neo-conservatism
Shadia Drury; political economist and author Stephen Clarkson;
economist Jim Stanford; David Orchard, farmer, politician and
author of The Fight for Canada — Four Centuries of Resistance to American
Expansionism; and the late Dalton Camp, writer and former
strategist for the Progressive Conservative Party.
This film is an excellent introduction to what "free trade" with the U.S.
means for Canada — please pass the word!

"The United Nations incorporated the principles of territorial integrity and
state sovereignty into the United Nations Charter. The Helsinki Final Act of
1975 reinforced the U.N. declaration by adding to them the principle of the
inviolability of borders. These are fundamental principles with universal
application. They cannot be set aside because of special cases or because they
present an obstacle to the policy objectives of economically powerful nations."

Saskatoon, Thursday, March 22, 2007
Stéphane Dion speaks out for the Western farmer
In his first major public meeting in Saskatoon since winning the leadership
of the Liberal Party of Canada Stéphane Dion will reply to Stephen Harper's
ongoing attack on prairie farmers and the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB).
Date: Sunday, April 1, 2007
Time: 2 p.m.
Place: Bessborough Hotel (Battleford Room)
601 Spadina Crescent E.
Saskatoon
Over the past decade and a half, the Canadian Wheat Board has endured a dozen
trade challenges from the U.S. industry seeking — unsuccessfully — its demise.
Now, Stephen Harper and his government have joined in. For months, the Harper
administration has been attacking, undermining and threatening to destroy the
power of the Canadian Wheat Board.
According to Saskatoon-Wanuskewin Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott:
"The Canadian Wheat Board is the last bastion of socialist thought in western
Canada. It is the only instrument remaining that owes its birthright to the
Regina Manifesto and remains an instrument of eastern domination of western
agriculture." (Letter
from M. Vellacott, Farmers for Justice)
FACTS:
- The Canadian Wheat Board was introduced by a Conservative
government, that of R.B. Bennett, in response to farmers' demands for an end
to exploitation by the large grain companies.
- Starting from zero in the 1930s, the Canadian Wheat Board has grown to
become the largest marketer of wheat and barley in the world.
- The CWB is one of Canada's largest earners of foreign currency and has a
reputation as the world's most prestigious marketing board. This
international respect puts dollars in western pockets.
- Based in Winnipeg, the CWB is a multi-billion dollar Canadian success
story that gives the western farmer some clout.
Since its inception, for seven decades, the Canadian Wheat Board has been
supported by every Canadian government. Until now.
If the Wheat Board is destroyed, as the Harper government intends, control of
Canadian grain marketing will quickly move from the hands of Canadian farmers to
those of the giant American grain companies. The east-west transportation links,
built by Canadians, and the big grain terminals in ports from Prince Rupert to
Quebec City, including Churchill, our only prairie seaport, will be crippled.
The direct out of pocket cost to western farmers will be hundreds of millions of
dollars each year.
Don't miss this chance to hear Stéphane Dion take on Stephen Harper on
behalf of the west. Bring your friends, one and all!
