In the near future Canadians will be asked to choose a new government based on Canada's support of the Afghanistan mission. The Conservatives want to extend the open ended mission till 2011 and beyond. The Liberals want to change it to a peace keeping mission after one year and the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democrats want out completely.
You may have noticed that none of the above parties are questioning the validity or the justification of the mission. We all know it was undertaken as a result of 9/11 and we all know the official story of 9/11 has been proven a mass of lies and disinformation.
I realize that south of the 49th parallel, this is not news but I would like to urge concerned citizens in Canada as well as our friends around the world to use this opportunity to ask questions and demand answers of our elected representatives as well as journalists.
Here are a few I have come up with;
Why should young Canadian men and women fight and die on foreign soil for the cause of expanding the American empire?
Why should Canadian taxpayers bear the cost of advancing the American empire, while wealthy International Corporations enjoy the return on our investment?
Why should Canadians play foot soldiers to American atomic knights?
And most important.
The Canadian mission was a result of the terror attacks on 9/11. Considering the overwhelming evidence disproving the official government version of events, shouldn't Canada demand an independent and impartial investigation before spending one more dollar and risking one more life for the unjust war and illegal occupation of Afghanistan? (Especially due to the fact that the Bush administration has been accused of making 935 false statements leading up to the Iraq invasion alone. Point being, they are proven liars.,)
We should also remind our fellow citizens that whenever they hear the phrase, "Canadian values of freedom and democracy," interpret it to mean, "Imperialist agenda of corporate America, supported by a taxpayer supported military."
