speaking at the huge anti-WTO rally before the November 30th march in Seattle.The latest program in our series on Global Capital and the World Trade Organization, the Road to Seattle looks at highlights from the Vancouver organizing that brought more than 40 busloads of Canadians to the giant November 30 rally and march against the WTO in Seattle. It includes video from the Seattle march and rally which drew 50,000 protestors; highlights from the police violence against protestors in Seattle streets, and comments from Maude Barlow at "The Last Protest of the Century", that same evening back in Vancouver.
Protestors often would sit-down en mass when police confronted them chanting "no violence" and "the whole world is watching".

Maude Barlow in Vancouver, at 8:00 pm on November 30, after returning from Seattle: "the tide turned today in Seattle . . . and the world will never be the same."
