Peace organizations call on voters to reject Harper's militaristic agenda TORONTO, Jan. 13 /CNW/ - The Canadian Peace Alliance and the War Resisters Support Campaign joined together today to urge Canadian voters to reject the pro-war agenda being promoted by Stephen Harper in the current federal election. "A vote for Stephen Harper is a vote for George Bush. This is a man who supported the invasion of Iraq and wants to sign on to the dangerous ballistic missile defence plan, two positions that the majority of Canadians have already clearly rejected," said Sid Lacombe, coordinator of the Canadian Peace Alliance, a peace network of more than 140 member groups representing more that 4 million Canadians. "The Martin Liberals have already increased military spending and embroiled us in an unwinnable quagmire in Afghanistan; now Harper wants to make things even worse with increased support for militarism and war," Lacombe said. The War Resisters Support Campaign, with supporters across Canada, has gathered over 30,000 signatures on a petition to the government urging that US soldiers who refuse to take part in - or return to - the Iraq War be given sanctuary, as was done during the Vietnam War. "Stephen Harper's close ties to Bush supporters in the US make us doubt that a Harper Government would uphold Canada's tradition of offering sanctuary to US war resisters," said Vietnam War resister Lee Zaslofsky, speaking for the Campaign. "Rather, we fear he would curry favour with Washington by acting as an enforcement arm of the Pentagon, forcing US war resisters back to the US, where they would face prison or worse."

All the more reason to vote Conservative when these radical lunatics come out...

[chet_in_ny]

Scare tactics.. a universal leftist strategy that transends borders.

Do they also bus voters in from other ridings?

[Heartofsong83]

Probably, although that is illegal...

[Brilliant]

Looks like the wacko liberals fleeing the US have caused the Canadian liberal population to reach a critical mass. I think she's about to blow.

[oolatec]

The funny thing is... the Canadians will fall for it.

Here's another given- if the liberals get pummeled in the election, Canadians will learn all about the "disenfranchised voter"

Canada Ping!

Here, some lunatics take on Martin and the "root causes of gun violence"...

"Paul Martin's rhetoric in calling for a "total" ban on handguns is beyond hypocritical. His leadership is responsible for the Canada Pension Plan's "investments" in companies like SNC-Lavalin, which is supplying hundreds of millions of bullets to the US occupation of Iraq," says Dylan Penner, Executive Director of ACT for the Earth, who was on hand at the middle school challenging Mr. Martin to discuss the issue. The protest was well received by members of the Jane and Finch community who thanked ACT for the Earth for addressing the root causes of gun violence - namely the companies which manufacture weapons and ammunition in the first place.

ACT for the Earth is organizing a picket of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for the second Wednesday of every month. The series of protests is set to begin on Wednesday, December 14 at 5pm at Queen and Yonge streets in Toronto.

ACT for the Earth contends that Paul Martin and the Liberal government aren't truly opposed to the war on Iraq. If they were, they wouldn't have usurped the democratic nomination processes within their own party to ensure the candidacy of pro-war Michael Ignatieff in the riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore. In addition, they wouldn't allow the Canada Pension Plan's investments in Iraq war profiteers to continue, and they would let the US war resisters stay in Canada."

This old post is being continuously updated, to reflect the current election situation:

ADSCAM: Click the picture-

Go to "comments," go to "last," and work back for the latest links, quotes, quips, charts, and other useful information about the upcoming Canadian elections.

Remember, the sitting "Grits" government ( Liberal, what else? ) clings to power after refusing to step down- they lost a "no confidence" vote.

The Canadian Blogs have led the way investigating, exposing, talking about, and keeping before the public the "scandal a day" nature of Canada's corrupt, incestuous, nepotistic ruling class.

You really need to read all of it to see how bad 13 years of "liberal" government can be.

Read it all, get sick, get mad- and if you are Canadian, go vote.

What an arrogant, self-righteous bunch.

[concrete is my business]

Canadians need to be extra vigilant this week.

This election could get very, very rough.

Spain does come to mind.

Canadian left wingers enjoy and promote anti-American Americans (as do American left wingers).

American (or former American) left wingers in Canada who are willing to denigrate America and praise Canada may be embraced and rewarded (see Corky Evans and the NDP in BC).

And so it goes.
