I do apologize - I have decided not to attend the AGM tonight. *That
says nothing about my commitment to PR.*
I have been arguing with myself over this clash for some days. I have
finally made the choice to join an Amnesty town hall about Canadian
resource extraction industries' assaults on human rights (basically
indigenous rights which have been trampled for decades all over the
world by Canadian mining companies).
Apologies again,
Mary
