Canadian International Trade Minister David Emerson, U.S. Trade
Representative Susan Schwab, and Mexico's Secretary of the Economy Eduardo
Sojo will be having a meeting of the NAFTA Free Trade Commission in
Vancouver this week. NAFTA has become a symbol of the devastation,
poverty, and repression created by neoliberal free trade agreements.

This meeting comes just days before the Security and Prosperity
Partnership Summit in Montebello Quebec, where Bush, Harper, and Calderon
will be negotiating a NAFTA 2.0-plus-Homeland-Security agenda.

Disrupt the Trade Ministers Meetings on Tuesday and make it be known that
wherever proponents of NAFTA or the SPP meet, they will be resisted by the
people! All groups and individuals join together to demonstrate our
indignation and resistance to this next attack on the interests of the
people by those who think they are masters of our lives and destiny!

THIS ACTION IS PART OF A NATIONAL WEEK OF ACTION TO TARGET THE SPP! AUGUST
10TH- AUGUST 16TH

Leading upto August 20th, grassroots groups and networks are organizing a
national week of action to target the SPP and those behind the SPP- the
corporate lobby behind the North American Competitiveness Council and
government bodies such as security insitutions and trade departements. We
strongly encourage other cities and towns to join us in this national week
of action, as well as to organize mobilizations on August 20th.
