Chapters/Indigo and CAIA
May. 13th, 2007 10:53 pmI'm not generally a fan of confrontational interview tactics, but when one half of the discussion just avoids participating in debate, it's hard for me to disapprove.
I've picked up some of the key points about the Chapters/Indigo boycott by osmosis while hanging out with Haiti activists. There are relationships between the group I hang out in and the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid. I don't feel sufficiently well-enough informed to have an opinion on the boycott, though.
For non-Canadians, Chapters/Indigo is by far the largest book seller in Canada, and (in Toronto at least) it's hard to find a non-specialty bookstore that isn't either a Chapters or Indigo store.
