Since when is there a globalist movement at Mac ?

One of the most evil things in this world is globalism. Look at what Europe has become. No one wants a one world government with Big Brother watching you.

Before trying to "fix" the world, try fixing Canada. The taxes in this country are killing people, the unemployment rate is 7.3%, no gun rights and the list goes on.

I know the OP's post states the word "local", but I have attended certain speaking events and they never mentioned the problems in this country.

I can't say I've been, but I don't believe that this is about globalism at all, as opposed to Canada's national voice in the global world (e.g. our contributions as a peacekeeping nation, etc.).

J. Dorey, you are completely correct. This is about our role in an increasingly connected world and how we use our role for greater positive change, whether environmental, social, economic or health-related. We do include local speakers and community groups as well.

If you want to message me on PM, I'd be more than happy to discuss the conference with you further.
