First Half: News & Updates; Prisoner's Justice; Interview: Stefan Christoff interviews author & University professor Norman Girvan about CARIFORUM, the 'Free Trade' agreement forced on the Caribbean nations by the European Economic Union.

Second Half: Long-time antipoverty activist Gaetan Heroux gives a fascinating history of resistance by the unemployed around the time of the depression of the 30's. Much of what we hear resounds loudly today as we enter the worst economic decline since then, and the repression (and resistance!) related by Gaetan sound familiar to those following the repression recently during the G20, giving cause for inspiration.
