SUMMARY:No New Fighter Jets Information Picket
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, January 15\, 2022\nTime: 12:00 Noon\nPlace: River Avenue and Osborne Street \nHelp us get the word out! \nThe Canadian government is planning to purchase 88 new warplanes\, for a sticker price of $19 billion and a total cost\nof at least $77 billion. \nThis new generation of bomber jets will be designed to do the same thing the last batch did – carry bombs and missiles that kill civilians (disproportionately children)\, destroy critical infrastructure that leaves millions without safe drinking water or electricity\, and to run environmentally costly training drills. This time they’ll have the capacity to carry nuclear weapons. \nCanada’s current stock of fighter jets have spent the past few decades bombing Afghanistan\, Libya\, Iraq and Syria\, prolonging violent conflict and contributing to massive humanitarian and refugee crises. These operations had a deadly toll on human life and have nothing to do with ensuring security for Canada. \nEven former Deputy Minister of Defence Charles Nixon stated that Canada does not face any credible threats and “new Canadian fighters are not required to protect Canada’s populace or sovereignty.” \nThe clock is ticking. The procurement competition officially started July 2020\, and we don’t have much time before the winning contract will be selected in early 2022. \nImagine how much better off we would all be if\, instead of investing in death\, Canada spent this $88 billion on such things as clean drinking water in First Nations communities\, responding to the climate crisis and helping Canadian workers transition to a post carbon future. \nWe need to stand up and be heard\, without delay.

SUMMARY:Information Picket: No War With Russia
DESCRIPTION:No War With Russia\nPeace Alliance Winnipeg is joining with organizations across Canada to demand that our government work for peace with Russia. Help us distribute literature urging our neighbours to speak out for peace. \nDate: Saturday\, Jan. 29\, 2021\nPlace: River Avenue and Osborne Street\, Winnipeg\nTime: 12:00 Noon to 1:00 pm \nBackground\nThe world is on the brink of a war in Ukraine that could quickly become a world war that would kill millions and end civilization. This dangerous situation did not develop overnight. Rather\, it is the predictable outcome of attempts led by the United States to encircle and dominate Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.  Successive Canadian governments have helped create this dangerous situation and it is time for Canadians to tell our government to work for peace. \nCanada can lead by example by refusing to arm Ukraine’s government and withdrawing our troops from Ukraine and other eastern European states. Canada should be working diplomatically to help ease tensions within Ukraine and between Russia and NATO. More generally\, our government should work for nuclear disarmament and sign the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. \nResources\nThe current situation in eastern Europe is too complex to describe in an email. Here are some helpful sources of information. \n\nNational call to Trudeau government to de-escalate conflict between Russia and NATO over Ukraine \nUN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons\nCanadian Foreign Policy Institute\nWorld Beyond War\nInterview with Glenn Michalchuk\, Tamara Lorincz and Ken Stone\nChris Cook of Gorilla Radio interviews Glenn (Peace Alliance Winnipeg)\, Tamara (Canadian Foreign Policy Institute) and Ken (Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War) on the crisis in eastern Europe and why it is necessary to make our government work for peaceful solutions.
