Green Party Calls On Government To Speak Out Clearly Against Accelerating Tensio

Posted on Tuesday, April 03 at 15:43 by JimmyD
“The tit-for-tat war games going on at this very volatile time and place in the world are dangerous and irresponsible. Where is Canada’s independence and leadership on this issue? This is no time to take sides. It is a time to take diplomatic action, a tool the Harper government has simply abandoned,” said Ms. May. "Foreign affairs Minister Peter MacKay should be making peace-making efforts in the region a top priority." The Green Party acknowledged that the spectre of American military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities is becoming clear. Canada has long advocated that attacks against nuclear facilities can have catastrophic consequences on the environment and human health. http://www.greenparty.ca/en/www.greenparty.ca/en/releases/02.04.2007 [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on April 4, 2007]

    There will be no one from the Harper Government speaking out against any of the warcrimes in the Middle East committed on a daily basis by the real axis of evil, the Anglo-American-Israeli war-machine.

    In Harpers mind Bush and his junta are people not only to look up to, but whose actions should be supported as well as emulated. Canada are now complicit of atrocities in Afghanistan, thanks to our own neo-cons in Ottawa.

    <p>Let us remember our current government when sitting as opposition were foaming at the mouth to get us involved in the war crimes being currently perpetrated in Iraq. There was nothing held high enough in Harper's mind not worth smearing to get his way back then. </p> <p>Then came the Lebanon war - not a peep about dropping millions of cluster munitions on civilian targets, targeting of UN observers including the death of Canadians, or about killing 1000 civilians in one month. They are all terrorists to this conservative crowd. This is exemplified by everything they said then and since the war ended. They echoed the US/Israel line word for word.</p> <p>Now that they control government while thinking a majority of Canadians support them, look for them to continue this trend. If they can get us involved - they will.</p><p>---<br>If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.
