Narrator:
As 34 nations of the Western Hemisphere gathered to draft a far reaching trade agreement, one that would lay the groundwork to privatise every resource and service imaginable, thousands of people from hundreds of grassroots organisations joined to oppose it. Canada's top business lobbyists and its chief trade representative discount the dissent in the streets. For them, the America's 800 million citizens speak with one voice. Thomas D'Aquino:

From the poorer to the better off. Robert Keyes:
A lot of these countries are not saying they want to get off, they want to get on. Pierre Pettigrew:
Exactly, no one wants out, everyone wants in
