*Please forward widely*

Special Forum: Afghanistan, I won't go

Canadian military objecter Francisco Juarez speaks

Thursday, October 19
7:30p.m.
Unitarian Church Sanctuary (at Oak and 49th Ave)

Officer Cadet Francisco Juarez is the first Canadian to resign from the 
armed
forces to protest the war in Afghanistan.

"With a minimum debate the Harper government has taken Canadians into an
American model of warmaking in Afghanistan which I believe to be counter 
productive
to the stated goals of humanitarian assistance and meaningful democratic 
reform."
