Mr. Prime Minister Stephen Harper,

I would like to call your attention to the following, concerning the presence of the Canadian Army in Afghanistan :

  • The Canadian Army's current involvement in the Kandahar area in an offensive mission under American command conflicts with Canadian values ;
     
  • Canada’s growing involvement in this war serves first and foremost the strategic interests of the USA ;

  • Peacekeeping does not mean conducting warlike operations to fight against terrorism. The money spent for these military exercises in Afghanistan should be invested instead in combating poverty. This should be our priority. Let’s fight poverty first !

THEREFORE, I call for the withdrawal of Canadian combat troops from Afghanistan now.
