From April 20 to 22, 2001, Quebec City will host the third Summit of the Heads of State of the Americas. The summit will principally deal with the creation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas, and needs to be viewed within this context.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte.

Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
