[Please post and forward widely] "This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" This SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20th, at 1pm outside the US Consulate in Montreal Bring extra shoes and footwear to throw! Bring noisemakers! After our action at the US Consulate, we will march west along Ste-Catherine Street to Bishop Street and the Canadian Armed Forces Recruiting Station, where our shoe action will continue. --> MAP: http://tinyurl.com/62s43k Along with tens of millions around the world, we celebrate the recent action of Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi who hurled two shoes at US President George Bush while shouting, "This is a farewell kiss, you dog! This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq." We support the calls for al-Zeidi's immediate release from detention, and denounce his abuse while in custody. And, in a simple gesture of solidarity by local anti-war activists and independent media journalists, we will gather outside the US consulate to hurl shoes in continued opposition to the US occupation of Iraq, as well as the already announced escalation of the US military occupation of Afghanistan by the incoming Obama administration (a continuation of "Operation Enduring Freedom", launched by George Bush after September 11, 2001). We also continue to oppose Canada's complicity with the US-led "War on Terror", with the Canadian Armed Forces' military presence in Afghanistan. More Canadian troops in Afghanistan has effectively meant that more American troops have been available to occupy Iraq. Organized by: Block the Empire INFO: 514-848-7583 or bloc...@gmail.com |
