Protesters balk at G8's feel-good claims

HALIFAX—From April 26 to 28, development ministers from the G8 countries met in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The official agenda included maternal and child health in developing countries, but protesters in Halifax weren't convinced: the G8 rendezvous was met with a slew of demonstrations.

"I'm repulsed by the fact that the G8 development ministers are meeting in my town," said protester Cole Webber. "They represent an agenda that's about profit-making without any regard for human needs and I think they should be opposed vigorously."
