On Saturday November 25th while more than 250 protesters were chanting 
"Canada Out of Afghanistan!" at the MAWO antiwar rally downtown Vancouver, 
two more NATO soldiers died as part of occupation forces in Afghanistan. A 
reported 55 Afghan people were also killed in this weekend's fighting. This 
was followed by the Monday November 27th death of two more Canadian soldiers 
in Afghanistan, bringing the total
Canadian soldiers dead in the occupation to 44.

This rising tally of death is the result of an escalation of deadly combat 
operations involving Canadian and NATO occupying forces in Afghanistan in 
recent months. NATO estimates at least 3800 people have been killed by the 
occupation of Afghanistan this year. This irreconcilable clash of interests, 
the occupiers against the occupied Afghan people, continues to show that 
Canadian, US, and NATO forces
have no role in Afghanistan that is in the interest of Afghan people - the 
occupation has only resulted in death and destruction. Last weekend's 
antiwar rally in Vancouver and the 12,000 signatures on MAWO's "Canada Out 
of Afghanistan!" petition also show that people in Canada are beginning to 
question and oppose the occupation more and more.

MAWO is calling again for all peace-loving, humanist and antiwar people in 
the Lower Mainland to join the 23rd picket protest action at the Canadian 
Armed Forces Recruitment Center since the July 2005 announcement that Canada 
would be doubling its forces in Afghanistan.

On Thursday November 30th we will protest these deaths and the further 
destruction that is assured by the continuation of war and occupation.

BRING ALL TROOPS HOME NOW!
CANADA OUT OF AFGHANISTAN NOW!
