((( 2 ))) THURSDAY March 20th
>>> MAWO Picket Action: CANADA/NATO OUT OF
AFGHANISTAN!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
As the Canada/NATO occupation of Afghanistan continues
to cause misery and suffering for millions of Afghans, the
fight against this unjust war is continuing to grow in both
Afghanistan and Canada. This has caused a crisis for the
government of Canada and other occupying countries as
they have been scrambling to find enough foreign troops
to repress the resistance in Afghanistan. This coupled with
the recent deaths of the 70th, 80th and 81st Canadian
soldiers since the invasion began have made headlines
across Canada over the past month. Peace loving people
must unite under the demand of "CANADA/NATO OUT OF
AFGHANISTAN!" and come to the streets for this monthly
picket against the war and occupation of Afghanistan!

4:00pm
Canada Armed Forces Recruitment Centre
(1070 W. Georgia St.)
