If corporations are people, as some would say, then they're not the kind of people you'd want to fight; a corporation is big, faceless and prohibitively powerful.
But Public Interest Alberta (PIA) says the battle is worth it, fair fight be damned.
PIA, a non-profit and non-partisan organization, is holding its seventh annual advocacy conference April 11 to 13, Fighting for our Future:
People Power vs Corporate Control.
Speakers are coming from the United States, Canada and India, including a keynote panel on Thursday evening featuring Beaver Lake Cree Nation oil-sands activist Crystal Lameman, award-winning journalist and author Linda McQuaig and Amazon Watch's Gregor MacLennan.
PIA's executive director Bill Moore-Kilgannon says the annual conference has always focused on people power—the power of ordinary folks to tackle Alberta's problems.
He says the 2013 conference is meant to show Albertans that they can push back against big business's oversized influence.
