The Council of Canadians’ 24th Annual General Meeting

The focus of the 2009 meeting was on sharing alternative visions for our economic future -- ideas that focus not on market projections, cyclical recoveries and corporate profits, but on people, the environment and democracy. We looked at how the current failed economic model, based on market priorities, has led to the current economic downturn, with the resulting uncertainty for families suffering job losses, rising costs and an economic recovery pinned on promoting the fossil fuel industry and its devastating effects on the environment. But more importantly, we talked about ways to get governments to recognize the need for lasting change and opportunities to create a just economy for everyone – both people and the planet.
