Dear friends,

especially those within travel distance from Ottawa [Canaduh].

If you take seriously issues of global development and well-being [for all,
including the environment and animal life], justice and an end to global
impunity, then please consider travelling to Ottawa to properly receive
President George Bush of the USA.

We re-distribute the following info, for your info ...

And please re-distribute your own invitations far and wide.

Bush is coming to Ottawa!
All out to stop Bush!

***************************

Paul Martin announced yesterday that George W. Bush will be in Ottawa for a
state visit from November 30 to December 1--just two weeks away! This will
be Bush's first international visit since his 're-election' as president
two weeks ago (only 28% of voting-age Americans voted for Bush while 98
million Americans didn't vote at all).

Activists from across the country will be descending on Ottawa to give
Bush the welcome he deserves. The Toronto Coalition to Stop the War is
organising buses to send activists from Toronto to Ottawa to participate in
the mass actions against the Bush agenda. Details of the demonstrations in
Ottawa are listed below, in the call-out from the "No to Bush" committee in
Ottawa.

 For more information or to book a seat on one of our buses, please contact

 Because this will be Bush's first trip outside the U.S. since his
election, it will be important for us to build the biggest possible
mobilisation to show our opposition in Canada. We want to send a message of
support to the people of Iraq and all oppressed people around the world: we
stand in solidarity with you. And to our sisters and brothers in the
American anti-war movement: the world still says no to the Bush agenda.

 To that end, the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War is calling an emergency
general meeting for next Monday where all those interested in going to
Ottawa can discuss how we're building our mobilisation.  The details of the
meeting are as follows:

 Emergency General Meeting
 Monday, November 22
 7:00pm
 Metro Hall
 55 John Street
 Room number to be posted in lobby

 Information about buses--time and date of departure and return, pick-up
and drop-off locations, ticket costs, etc.--will be ready within a day or
so. As soon as our bookings are confirmed, all information will be
circulated on this list and posted on our website: www.nowar.ca<http://www.nowar.ca/>.

 Don't wait to book your seats! Let us know you're interested now!
