from
Wikipedia
On 30 April 2009, at the chain's annual general meeting, the motion was soundly rejected.
The Canada-Israel Committee praised the outcome stating: " The policy of MEC has been upheld.
It made sense, because it's not just about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but about ethical sourcing and MEC policy.
" Conversely, Hanna Kawas, chairman of the Canada Palestine Association, stated that his organization will continue to publicize the chain's sale of Israeli-made goods and called for a boycott of all Mountain Equipment Co-op outlets.
Kawas stated: "( MEC ) is supporting war crimes and apartheid.
We will promote a boycott.
It's a global movement that's gaining strength.
We'll continue to do what South Africans did against apartheid.
