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."
