More on G8/G20 special issue:

At the end of June 2010, just in time to shake off the Olympic hangover, Canada’s year in the international spotlight is set to continue. Taking its place as President of the Group of Eight, both the G8 and G20 summits are coming to Huntsville and Toronto, respectively.

Thousands of politicians, financial representatives and international delegates will descend on cottage country and our nation’s largest metropolis to weigh in on issues like the economy, health care and the environment, all of which have been coupled with the headline “Crisis” in the past year.

The mainstream media portrays these summits as rigid dichotomies of mask-clad protesters clashing with faceless riot police in a cloud of tear gas, all while world leaders try to right the global economic ship. 

We think that there is more to be told, critical coverage that moves from the boardrooms to the global streets, clears the gas clouds, takes off the masks and confronts the forgotten and un(der)-reported issues. 

Our coverage, and our ability to cover these issues depends on you; the readers, subscribers and sustainers that make the Dominion/Media Co-op possible.

More on Capitalism: A Love Story...

On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece "Roger & Me," Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" comes home to the issue he's been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans. But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene is far wider than Flint, Michigan.
