Document Summary
Protesters: not against globilzation, just a certain form of globilization where one country gets richer while the other gets poorer. Neo-liberism: gdp for usa and canada has raised over the past few years. In the united states its true that total gdp has increased. Canada. yes the total gdp has gone up but has benfitted the 1% of the population, and has not improved the situation of the common people. It"s good to rely on data, but you have to see what is behind the data. To a certain degree, yes it would be better through the voting booths, but the issue is that sometimes voting is not enough. In this pereticular case, if you look at the 4 main parties (cons, liberals, ndp, green) if you look at their platforms, they all have embraced this neoliberism ideology. No matter who you vote for, they are all supporting neo-liberism policy.
