[news] Iraq and the Cynical Silence of the NDP and Greens

[Resist!ca]

"Seven weeks ago (New Democratic Party) leader Carole James and Green Party leader Adriane Carr were emailed information regarding the $4.6 billion in (British Columbia) pension funds that have been invested in corporations producing, among other things, the munitions, missiles, landmines, cluster bombers, attack choppers, tanks, fighters and depleted uranium weapons for use by U.S. armed forces in their occupation of Iraq....On April 26, James and Carr were mailed a registered letter signed by 14 individuals asking for (them) to clarify the NDP's position in regard to divestment of these funds, and ending BC's complicity in the occupation of Iraq....There has been no formal response from James or Carr yet, but the position of both is increasingly clear from their echoing silence."
