If you have not already heard about the horrible tragedy that occured last week in Haiti, please read this article http://thejadedleft.yuku.com/topic/1161.  To make a long story short, a school that did not have adequate funding for it to be structurally sound collapsed on 700 students, killing more than it injured.    It is so difficult to get people the help that they need in a situaton like this.  We can give to red Cross and hope that the proceeds actually get there...  read more »

This is going to be ripped away from us if we all don't open our eyes to the illegal, immoral war that is currently going on in Afghanistan and Iraq and OPPOSE it. Canada used to be a country that prided itself on being peaceful and welcomed war resisters, and this conservative government is deporting them. It is disgusting.  read more »

• Please phone or email the opposition party leaders to ask them to support a political provision to allow US war resisters to stay in Canada. If the opposition parties unite, such a provision could easily be adopted.

- Stéphane Dion, leader of the Liberal Party: 613.996.5789  dion.s@parl.gc.ca
- Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Bloc Québécois: 613.992.6779  duceppe.g@parl.gc.ca
- Jack Layton: 613. 995.7224 - layton.j@parl.gc.ca

Two US war resisters are currently waiting to hear from the Supreme Court of Canada whether they will have leave to appeal the rejection of their refugee claims. NO RESISTER SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM CANADA UNTIL THE SUPREME COURT HAS MADE ITS DECISION. A decision is expected some time in November.
