THE CANADIAN REFUGEE CAMP
The Resistance within Fortress North America...
Shattering the myth of Canadian multiculturalism and humanitarianism...

Saturday February 5, 2005
Vancouver Art Gallery (Georgia and Howe)
Rally at 1 pm

Displays, images, poetry, song, dance...

*****************************************

Displays will highlight well known historical events such as the Japanese
internment, the Chinese headtax, the Komagatamaru, the Red Raids and
political deportations, and the Draft Dodgers; with current parrallels of
the Secret Trials of the Secret Trial 5 and Leonard Peltier, exclusion of
Fujianese women, War Resisters, and the Safe Third Country Agreement, and
much more...

The Camp demonstrates- thru speakers, images, displays, poetry, song and
cultural performances- our clear opposition to racism and colonialism. And
our resistance to environmental racism from Africville to Skwekwek'welt,
to political repression of racialized communities, to continuing slave
wage labour, and to the imperialist so-called "War on Drugs" and "War on
Terrorism"from Columbia to Kahnastake will continue....
