The Council of Canadians is a citizens' organization that advocates for progressive policies on behalf of its members across the country. Founded in 1985 to oppose the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, the Council concentrates its advocacy around the core issues of fair trade, public health care and the right to water, but has recently focused on what it calls the deep integration of Canada with the United States.
The Council of Canadians is chaired by Maude Barlow, who is best known internationally for her work on water.
Internationally, the Council is recognized for its role in blocking the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, which would have allowed corporations to challenge national laws, even those related to environmental and labour regulations, if the laws hurt profits.
The Council publishes a seasonal magazine called Canadian Perspectives.[1]
