MOBILIZATION AGAINST WAR & OCCUPATION SPRING SEMINAR 2014

>> Canada in Afghanistan: A Balance Sheet of 12 Years of War & Occupation

PART II: Canada in Afghanistan: War and Occupation, War and Occupation and War and Occupation

Please
 join MAWO for part two of this three-part seminar, “Canada in 
Afghanistan: War and Occupation, War and Occupation and War and 
Occupation” where we will discuss the role of Canada in Afghanistan. 
This will shine a light on all of the scandals and the criminal and 
brutal slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Afghans by direct 
military action or by drones. As well, people want to know why the 
government of Canada has spent and wasted billions of dollars on 
imposing war and occupation on the people of Afghanistan in 
collaboration with the US, UK and NATO military forces. Why did General 
Hillier, then as the Chief of Defence Staff, say in reference to the 
Afghan resistance that they are "detestable murderers and scumbags” and 
"we're not the public service of Canada. We're not just another 
department. We are the Canadian Forces, and our job is to be able to 
kill people."

The first part of this seminar “September 11, 2001,
 War on Terror and the Role of Canada in the New Era of War and 
Occupation” on April 23rd discussed the roots of the imperialist war 
drive in Afghanistan.

Speaker, NITA PALMER, is the author of the 
book “War and Occupation in Afghanistan: Which Way Forward?” (Battle of 
Ideas Press, 2010, ISBN 978-0-9864716-0-5)
