Featuring nationally renowned broadcaster and author Murray Dobbin, at a Vancouver
Public Library forum called "The Myth of the Good Corporate Citizen - Democracy under

name, examine the impact of corporate rule on culture and on our own democratic
institutions.
Murray Dobbin and his latest book
Dobbin is a national leader of the Council of Canadians and has been a social activist for
nearly 30 years. This week on working TV, he looks at the new power in Ottawa: a new
power he says is now longer political, but corporate. According to Dobbin, we are now
living in a corporate age one that threatens the very foundations of democracy, where
governments answer to transnational corporations and not to citizens.
