This action is responding to the CALL TO ACTION by the United National Anti-War Coalition (UNAC), USA, [unacpeace.org] to JOIN THE "NO TO US WAR" ACTIONS FROM OCTOBER 15 TO 23, 2022. 

For over 30 years, we have witnessed the acceleration of brutal imperial wars by the U.S. and their allies, including Canada, against the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Haiti, and other countries. These wars have killed millions, turned tens of millions into refugees, laid waste to infrastructure, impoverished citizens through sanctions, and overthrown governments.

>From October 15th-23rd, activists will be saying NO to imperialist wars, occupations, economic sanctions, and military interventions, and YES to self-determination!

Today, the United Nations deems Yemen the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, after seven years of Saudi-led, U.S.-backed and Canadian-armed war. The Saudi-led coalition has bombed Yemeni markets, hospitals, and civilians, and yet Canada has exported over $8 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia since 2015, the year the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen began. 

End the Saudi-led war on Yemen!
#CanadaStopArmingSaudi!

For years, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been provoking conflict with Russia. NATO’s expansion to Russia’s border and its training and arming of Ukrainian security forces have contributed to growing tensions in the region, and NATO is now fueling the current war in Ukraine. 

Stop NATO! 
Canada Out of NATO!

Today we are seeing the next dangerous imperialist moves against the people of Haiti, who have been protesting to demand access to food, fuel, and basic necessities and against the country's imperialist-backed government. In the midst of this, Canadian and U.S. warplanes have landed in Haiti and imperialists are planning to occupy Haiti under the auspice of the United Nations. We haven't forgotten the 2004 coup d'état and occupation of Haiti and the last 18 years of on-and-off occupation by the U.S., Canada, France, and the United Nations. The effects of imperialism in Haiti today are death, injustice, hunger and poverty, and we join the brave Haitian people to demand:

Canada, US and UN out of Haiti!
No to New Occupation of Haiti!
