G7 Welcoming Committee (thing)

G7 Welcoming Committee is a record label out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. G7 was started in 1997 by Chris and Jord of Propagandhi, as a collective of speakers, writers, and bands that shared rather radical political beliefs.

The structure of G7 is based on the principles of Parecon, or Participatory Economics. In short, G7 has no hierarchical divisions of labor, and so all members are equal in their decision making abilities and status.

Bands that have released material under G7 include:

• The (International) Noise Conspiracy


• Bakunin's Bum


• Malefaction


• The Weakerthans


• Propagandhi (no kidding!)


• Swallowing Shit


• Randy


• Rhythm Activism


• I Spy


• Consolidated


• ...But Alive

They have also released the following spoken word albums.
