Stand in Solidarity with the Egytian People.

On Saturday, November 26th there will be demonstrations across the world in solidarity with the Egyptian people fighting to end the rule of the military dictators. Since the fall of Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) has tried to systematically roll back the gains of the revolution and return the country to a police state. Thousands of activists have been arrested and tortured at the hands of the SCAF which is refusing to cede power to a civilian government.

The Canadian Peace Alliance stands in solidarity with people throughout the world as they throw of the shackles of the western backed dictators. Join us for the demonstrations this Saturday.

Toronto
From Toronto to Egypt .. we STAND

Saturday, November 26, 2011.
Time2:00pm until 4:00pm
Where: Yonge Dundas Square

January 25-28 we Witnessed Police Brutality against Egyptian civilians and we protested. In October we witnessed the Maspero massacre , we watched brutality again, the propaganda tried its best to divide us , split us and create all the lies they can. Innocent Egyptians w...ere killed. Nov. 18-20 : we witness again, the rubber bullets in the eyes, the throwing of protesters lifeless bodies into garbage dumps and the security forces deliberate vandalism of property.

Let us all understand clearly, this is not a Muslim vs. Christian, this is not Liberal vs. conservative, this is a protest against a Police regime, that would not provide security to churches, to railroads yet kill protesters as it wishes.

It is a regime that wants Egypt to dive into Chaos so they can justify their existence.

They tell the Liberals Only they can protect them from the Islamists, They tell the salafies they will uphold Islamic principals in the constitution. They scare Christians into submission.

And this event is for those who will stand up and Say NO !.

Bring your Kouran, your bible, your cross or Hijab, bring your family and friends, bring with yourself an understanding that a society is as strong as its weakest members.

Bring a global perspective on JUSTICE , let us show the world that from Atlanta OCCUPY to Tahrir, we are all one people and that Police states are not to be tolerated here or there.

The Canadian Peace Alliance congratulates people of Egypt, condemns Canadian government

February 18, 2011

The Canadian Peace Alliance, the country's largest network of peace and anti-war groups, congratulates the people of Egypt for their determined struggle against the dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak.

Earlier today, Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon declined to comment on Mubarak's resignation. Last week, Cannon went so far as to endorse Mubarak's so-called "transition plan" which would have seen the dictator stay in power until September. With scenes of millions celebrating in the streets of Egypt, it's telling that the Harper government keeps silent on this inspiring step towards democracy in Egypt.

For years, the Canadian government, backed the Mubarak dictatorship and supported its policy of enforcing the siege against the people of Gaza. Harper's government has worried aloud about what this move towards democracy in Egypt will mean for the Israeli government and its occupation and siege.

Egypt, and before that Tunisia, has shown that people power can overcome dictators backed by foreign powers. And they have shown that democracy and liberation come from struggle from below, never from US-led wars and occupations. This quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln captures well the dilemma that the revolution in Egypt presents for Harper and Cannon today, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt".

Stephen Harper has shown himself to be an opponent of democracy in Canada and abroad. His ongoing support for the corrupt regime in Afghanistan, against the wishes of the people there, proves he is on the wrong side of history. The Canadian Peace Alliance will continue to call for an end to Harper's support for dictatorships around the world.
