Y2K – Locked On & Locked UP… again - Episode 4

At the turn of the millennium, while anti-globalization activism peaks, me and Tooker make Climate front page news again with several high-profile actions. Along the way, there’s the super-energized Gomberg for Mayor campaign.

I try and squeeze in the stories spanning less than 1 year. Beginning in the frozen lands of northern Alberta, to the more picturesque foothills in the south, over to the Big Smoke down east, then across the pond to The Hague for the UNFCCC COP6 climate talks.

Here’s some links to relevant things, webpages and organizations discussed in this episode.

This second video picks up and shows more of passport burning, then chronicles the crazy adventures avoiding capture by UN Police and our ill-advised re-entry attempt the following morning. Classic!
