Unfortunately, we had technical difficulties — no internet access — that made streaming the video live impossible. But the brave souls at RabbleTV pressed on and recorded the talk for posterity, so we can share it with you today. Two of the speakers’ segments are online now, and I’ll update this post with the rest of the videos as we have them.

You can also read the liveblog that I was furiously pecking out on an iPhone at the back of the room; of course, it was a little difficult to keep up with the pace of discussion on a three-inch keyboard.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night, to our partners at Rabble, the magazine’s board of directors and interns who did much of the organizing, and of course to the speakers: Robert Fox, Josephine Grey, Judy Rebick, and Antonia Zerbisias. The videos are below.

]]> Save the Date! On June 16, This Magazine & Rabble co-host a G20 panel on "women & children" https://this.org/2010/05/31/june-16-panel-discussion-save-date/ Mon, 31 May 2010 15:42:27 +0000 http://this.org/?p=4719 G8 Leaders meet in L'Aquila, Italy, July 8, 2009.This Magazine and Rabble.ca are pleased to be co-hosting a panel discussion in a few weeks on the G8/G20’s agenda on global maternal health. We’ll be posing the same questions that I raised in my editorial in the current issue: Does Canada have any business leading the charge on these issues? Shouldn’t we look to our own back yard first?

We’ll have more details, including a full confirmed lineup of panelists, in a few days, but we wanted to let you know about this now, since there are so many G20-related events happening in the city over the next month. We think this will be a lively and provocative discussion, so for our Toronto-area readers, please come and participate! What we know right now (and we’re super-excited about this lineup) is that Judy Rebick will moderate, and the panel will include Josephine Grey of Low-Income Families Together, and Toronto Star reporter and commentator Antonia Zerbisias. (I’ll update with panellist #3 when we’ve absolutely confirmed). In the meantime, mark your calendars and see you there!
