PLENARY

Opportunities and Contradictions - Elected Office and Social Change
A discussion-style presentation where questions are posed to the panel as a whole and each panel member is given an opportunity to respond. Questions are modified slightly for each panel member to reflect that person's area of representation. Ingo Schmidt moderates the panel comprised of Mable Elmore, MLA for Vancouver-Kensington; Fred Glass from the California Federation of Teachers; Jean Crowder, MP for Nanaimo-Cowichan and NDP critic for Aboriginal Affairs; and Jim Sinclair, President of the BC Federation of Labour.

Introduction - Ingo Schmidt, Economist, Academic Coordinator of Labour Studies at Athabasca University RT: 3:42

Round One: Warm-up questions

To Mable Elmore: "How does it feel to be back here, not as an organizer but as an MLA?"

To Fred Glass: "Tell us about the union movement in California under Schwarzenegger and Obama."

To Jean Crowder "What are the key problems we're looking at with colonialism and the conditions First Nations People are facing?"

To Jim Sinclair: "Considering the latest defeat of the NDP in BC's provincial elections, in what political sphere does the union movement plan to concentrate its efforts?"

RT: 17:55

Round Three: "Do we need a strong Communist party again to pull us towards the left?" RT: 19:20
