	Lessons of Quebec City
		While the People's Summit stood in clear opposition to the Summit of the Americas, it was funded in part by the Quebec provincial government to the tune of $300,000.
		Rather than marching toward the perimeter fence and the Summit of the Americas meetings, march organizers chose a route that marched from the People's Summit away from the fence, through largely empty residential areas to the parking lot of a stadium in a vacant area several miles away.
		Quebec gave a whole layer of activists a taste of what it would be like to actually shut down a major trade meeting.

		Ville de Quebec is a very good city in which to have a protest, because the downtown and especially the Old City is an architecture museum.
		But the people were forcibly excluded from the debate at the Summit of the Americas: they were gassed and shot at for asserting their right to speak, and to peacefully dissent.
		Moreover, the Government of Canada is guilty of incredible hypocrisy, for it represented the purpose of the Summit as "to increase democracy and liberty in all the Americas".
