Today was a Day of Dissent, a national call-out for Canadians to make their views known on the war in Afghanistan. The majority of Canadians do not want this war to continue. We want our troops removed immediately; not one more soldier should die needlessly in a war we do not belong in and cannot win.
The Women's Alliance Party (WAP) believes that if you vote Conservative - you are voting to support the inimical war in Afghanistan!
Because we are simpletons (e.g. simple minded-Canadians), we are not thinking of how supporting Harper advances his government's glorious war:
Length of war: 10 years + (Ten years and counting)
Cost of war: 2,000,000,000 (Two billion dollars)
Number of soldiers: 2500 (twenty five hundred)
Equals: $800,000 (eight hundred thousand) per soldier per year!
"Are we getting our money's worth?" asks Stephen Stewart, our own war correspondent. "No," he says, "Canadians probably want to spend more so we need to get Mr. Harper to buy more useless jets and stuff so we can reach the one million mark per year per soldier. Then we'll be competing with the 'big guys'!"
Vote for war and an end to health care! Vote for Harper.
This poster shows another aspect of our complicity in the war.
