Post-Capitalist Futures Richard Swift is former editor of New Internationalist magazine and author of the No-Nonsense Guide to Democracy. In 2011 he won the Daniel Singer Millenium Prize for an original essay which helps further socialist ideas. His most recent book SOS:Alternatives to Capitalism deals with a range of issues including autonomy, degrowth, utopianism and the commons. The workshop will address such themes as well as others brought forward by participants.  The Left is clear what it is against. But what are we for?There is a tradition of reluctance to speculate on post-capitalist society. There is a distrust of a politics of 'proposing' rather than simply 'opposing' (the radical Left) or 'adapting' (the Centre-Left). We need to move beyond anti-politics to champion a set of proposals to build a post-capitalist future. 13.

194 http://www.IndigenousWalks.com Indigenous Walking Tour Indigenous Walks was launched in May 2014 but derived from a desire to embody “Nehiyaw” which is the Cree word for person. The term in English translates to the meaning of “4-parts.” Through the concept of Nehiyaw, one must strive to be a balanced person by genuinely living the four parts that make us whole: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.   For me, Indigenous Walks provides an opportunity to carry out this true form and respect for the meaning of Nehiyaw.  On the land of the Algonquin Peoples called Turtle Island, this tour will guide participants through Indigenous social, political, cultural and artistic spaces. From the totem pole in Confederation Park to the Three Watchmen sculpture near Major’s Hill Park, you will get to know Ottawa like you have never known it before!  All tours begin at the Canadian Tribute to the Human Rights Monument in front of the Ottawa City Hall near Elgin. Tours are $20/ person. Cash on-site or credit card on-site are accepted.

280 http://www.commonfrontiers.ca Corporate Trade and Investment Agreements: an attack on people’s rights, the commons and democracy Free trade Agreements (FTAs) and Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) form part of the global architecture of impunity for transnational corporations while restricting nations’ sovereignty  and undermining the democracy of nations. The financial liberalization and investment protection, promoted through these trade and investment agreements, are at the root causes of the global financial and economic crisis.  Fearing the spread of citizen activism, and community rights initiatives around the world transnational corporations like biotech firms, big Pharma, multinational banks, and the fossil fuel industry, have been lobbying governments to pass new sweeping, secretly-negotiated international trade agreements, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union (CETA). These agreements are full of anti-consumer and anti-worker provisions, that grant corporations the rights to nullify local, state and national social policies in areas like food safety and sovereignty, fair trade, buy local, labor rights, indigenous sovereignty, and environmental protection laws. One of the most controversial provisions in free trade agreements is the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism, which gives corporations the right to sue governments over public measures that undermine their expected profits.   Join this information session on this economic model that doesn’t work for the peoples! Join us and hear about the global resistance and the initiatives to build alternatives !  N.B. This conference aims at exposing the main issues of FTAs and BITs, and will be immediately followed by a separate workshop that will focus on building alternatives to the model, mainly based on inputs from participants.   Organized by: Trade Justice Network (TJN), Common Frontiers, Quebec Network on Continental Integration (RQIC).  Libre-échange et accords d’investissement: une attaque contre les droits des peuples, l’intérêt public et la démocratie  Les Accords de libre-échange (ALÉ) et les Traités bilatéraux d’investissement (TBI) font partie d’une architecture mondiale d’impunité pour les entreprises transnationales aux dépens des droits souverains des peuples et de la démocratie des nations. La libéralisation financière et la protection des investissements dont ces accords assurent l’expansion, sont les causes profondes de la crise économique et financière mondiale.  Craignant l’élargissement du militantisme citoyen et la multiplication dans le monde des initiatives des communautés pour défendre leurs droits, les grandes entreprises transnationales comme les pharmaceutiques, les firmes de biotechnologie, les multinationales bancaires, les industries de carburants fossiles, entre autres, déploient leur arsenal de lobby à l’endroit des gouvernements pour qu’ils négocient, dans le plus grand secret, et adoptent des accords de libre-échange de nouvelle génération, comme le Partenariat transpacifique (PTP) et l’Accord économique et commercial global entre le Canada et l’Union européenne (AÉCG). Ces accords, qui débordent de mesures contre les droits des consommateurs et des travailleurs et travailleuses, accordent des «droits» disproportionnés aux grandes entreprises qui leur permettent de limiter la capacité souveraine de l’État de gouverner et même de renverser des politiques sociales aux niveaux municipal, provincial et fédéral, dans des domaines névralgiques comme la souveraineté et sécurité alimentaire, le commerce équitable, les biens et services produits localement, les droits du travail, la souveraineté des Premières Nations, les lois de protection de l’environnement. L’une des dispositions les plus controversées dans les ALÉ et les TBI est celle du mécanisme de règlement des différends investisseur-État qui donne le droit aux entreprises étrangères de poursuivre les gouvernements pour des politiques d’intérêt public qui restreindraient leur soif de profit.  Participez aux débats sur ce modèle économique du libre-échange qui ne répond pas aux besoins des peuples ! Joignez-vous aux initiatives de résistance et contribuez à la formulation de propositions alternatives !  N.B. Cette conférence d’une durée d’une heure et demi a pour objectif d’exposer les grands enjeux des ALÉ et de TBI, et sera immédiatement suivie d’un espace de discussions séparé qui se penchera sur les pistes d’un modèle alternatif en comptant essentiellement sur les contributions des participantEs.   Conférence organisée par: le Réseau québécois sur l’intégration continentale (RQIC), le Réseau pour un commerce juste (RCJ-TNJ) et Common Frontiers.  Les accords de libre-échange constituent des piliers de l'architecture d'impunité dont jouissent les entreprises transnationales, minant la démocratie en leur permettant de défier les politiques publiques lorsque celles-ci restreignent leurs ambitions de profits.   FTAs form part of the architecture of impunity for corporations, undermining democracy by allowing corporations to challenge public interest regulations if they are seen as restricting profits.  8.
