STEVEN STAPLES is a veteran political organizer from the peace and antiglobalization movements. From his office at the Polaris Institute in Ottawa, he was one of the central back-room â?? and sometimes front-page â?? voices that led the political resistance to Paul Martin's plan to put Canada in Bush's missile defence system. Known on Parliament Hill, in newsrooms, and on the street, Staples is a key figure in Canada's peace movement.Canadian Author
