Canada: HOV Ottawa shows No Volveran

On August 19th, 2008 around 50 people attended the video showing of No Volveran in Ottawa. A wide range of people from all age groups were in attendence, interested in the revolution currently unfolding in Venezuela.

Adam Fulsom, from the Ottawa Hands off Venezuela campaign gave a brief introduction to the film, commenting on how vastly different the Venezuelan reality is from what we hear in the capitalist press here in Canada. After that, the film ran for approximately 90 minutes, at the end the film recieved hearty applause.

After the film, there was a half hour of questions and discussion focusing on a wide range of topics. The main message given was that there are problems within the revolution, but that the only way forward it to advance on a clearly socialist program, giving the workers the control of their communities, industry and the state.
