It was an amazing experience to go to Egypt. One memory was going to the Canadian pavilion and checking out all the speakers. I noticed that one presentation at the Canadian pavilion was given by the oil industry, so I decided to attend. For some reason, they did not allow a question period. A bunch of us activists and Canadians came to this pavilion to ask questions, but instead we were dismissed.
Obviously, I think that a lot of action gets done at COP, but it does feel like you're a bit unheard going there as an activist and not someone with money and an economy to bring to the table.
