It was amazing how fast the anti-globalization/anti-corporate attitudes evaporated away in the wake of 9/11.

100,000 mostly normal people traveled to Quebec City to protest the FTAA in April 2001.

By the end of that year that kind of thing was anti-patriotic, and very much a taboo subject, at least in the mainstream culture.
