Mobilization Against War & Occupation
by MAWO-UVic
 On October 14th, the result of Canada's Federal Election was the
re-election of a Conservative minority government, establishing yet
another War Government. This is not a government who will represent the
56% of people in Canada who disapprove of the unjust war in
Afghanistan. Nor will this outcome end the brutal occupation imposed on
the people of Afghanistan.
The result of this election will continue the occupation of Afghanistan on the destructive path which 7 years of war has waged.

Where is the liberation of women which Canada promised, when since March 2008 alone, 100 women have committed suicide by lighting themselves on fire in south western Afghanistan alone? (The Guardian) Where is education for children, when there are 60,000 street children in Kabul alone? (UNICEF) As the occupation continues, so will this crisis.
Although Canada does not have an antiwar government, we must have an antiwar movement. Join antiwar activists and peace loving people to discuss in depth what a war government means for Afghanistan, and post election antiwar organizing in Canada.
