Join the Mass Protest in Toronto on Sept 14 at 6pm
Carney thinks he can invite those most responsible for global inequality and ecocide to Canada’s biggest city without mass opposition. He’s wrong.
Carney’s invited the world’s top 100 CEOs and investors to Toronto for a closed-door summit. The CEO summit symbolizes and will consolidates Carney’s militarist, ecocidal and anti-indigenous agenda.
The Prime Minister is pitching global capitalists “Canada, Inc.”, auctioning off the country’s assets at bargain prices. Want an airport, anyone? The former Goldman Sachs banker is continuing in his role as agent for global capital.
As workers struggle to pay the rent, Carney is rolling out the red carpet for the very capitalists who’ve turned housing into an investment asset. BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Blackstone’s Jon Gray and Barclay’s C.S. Venkatakrishnan will all be there. What’s presented as an “investment strategy” is really just a further consolidation of wealth and power at the top.
Our future should not be decided in private summits by the global rich. We demand economic democracy.
Join a mass protest at 6pm on September 14. It’s a Carnival Against Capitalism and march to the summit site.
Get creative. Bring props, banners and costumes. The bigger the spectacle, the harder we are to ignore.
