Last week, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that Canada would be taking on a leadership role in the continued occupation of Iraq. Canada will be in command of a new so-called “training and capacity building” NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) mission. This mission, which will involve at least 250 Canadian soldiers and four Griffon helicopters, is in reality a criminal expansion of the U.S.-led occupation which has been destroying the country since 2003. The NATO Cold-War era military alliance continues to be a force of death and destruction for the imperialist war machine.

The government of Canada also has bloody hands in the vicious Saudi-Arabia-led, U.S.-backed assault against Yemen. Canada has approved more than $284 million in exports of Canadian weapons and military goods to the countries bombing and blockading Yemen into what the United Nations calls “the worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time.”

Amidst these brutal wars and occupations, the governments of the U.S. and Canada continue to detain immigrant and refugee children, including the nearly 3000 children that the United States has separated from their families and put in cages. These children and their families are fleeing the destruction that their wars and occupations have imposed.

Enough is enough! As peace-loving people in Vancouver, Canada we have the responsibility to join together in the streets to demand that the governments of the U.S. and Canada put an end to imperialist wars and occupations!
