	CBC News Indepth: Summit of the Americas 2004
		The 34 democratically elected heads of state of the Americas gather to discuss areas of common interest to residents of the hemisphere.
		When it began in 1994 under the auspices of the Organization of American States (OAS), the primary goal of the Summit of the Americas process was a free trade agreement linking the countries in the hemisphere (the Free Trade Area of the Americas, or FTAA).
		While the declaration of the last summit focussed largely on job creation and democratic governance, there was also talk of creating regional trade agreements that exclude dissenting countries.

	Rubber bullets, tear gas and mass arrests at the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City
		Last month's Summit of the Americas, which brought together the heads of government of the Western Hemisphere, was the object of extraordinary security measures, including the largest police mobilization in Canadian history.
		Prior to the summit, the 600 detainees of Orsainville Prison, the area's largest jail, were transferred elsewhere, so as to make room for the anti-summit protesters that the police expected to arrest.
		The League's criticisms are doubly significant in that prior to the summit it made a very public display of its neutrality, saying it would condemn abuses by police and demonstrators with equal vehemence.

		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.
		CLAC and CASA released an overview of the actions during the summit that clearly stated their actions were "green and yellow," which means either totally nonconfrontational or defensive in the language of direct action.
		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.

	John Derbyshire on Summit of the Americas on National Review Online
		The Summits of the Americas are held every three or four years.
		Their aim is to promote the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), an effort begun in 1994 to unite all the democracies of the hemisphere in a sort of super-NAFTA.
		Certainly egalitarianism of one sort or another was a dominant political theme all through that century, from the redistributionist welfare states of the West, to the kibbutzim of Israel, the state-socialism experiments in Africa, the consensus ethnonationalism of Japan, and the explicitly Marxist states of the second world.

		President Bush came to the Summit to urge Leaders to strengthen the foundations for democracy and economic growth in the hemisphere by taking action to promote democracy and good governance, to spur private sector-led growth and reduce poverty, and to improve health and education.

		At this year's summit, we are embracing the challenge of implementing that Consensus to bring all the hemisphere's people into an expanding circle of development.

		For five days beginning on April 20, the eyes of the world will be riveted on Quebec, host to the Summit of the Americas — a secret gathering of business and government crooks bent on privatizing public property, lowering wages, and destroying labor and environmental protections, all for the sake of mega-profits.
		The goal of the summit is to negotiate a trade agreement that will strengthen NAFTA and extend it to Central and South America.
		And activists in the USA have a special responsibility to create a revolutionary movement in the "belly of the beast." This is absolutely crucial both for our own survival and well-being and for the welfare of the rest of the planet’s inhabitants, oppressed and abused by unaccountable corporations and politicians in our name.
