Non Au Partenariat Militaire Canado-Étasunien !
Conférence De Presse Publique, Montréal
Samedi le 24 septembre, à 11 h
Place Émilie-Gamelin
Angle Berri & Sainte-Catherine (métro Berri-UQAM)

Pour marquer notre solidarité avec la grande protestation de Washington, samedi prochain, qui exigera la fin de l'occupation de l'Irak et le retrait immédiat des troupes étasuniennes,

Pour indiquer au gouvernement canadien que nous rejetons la hausse grotesque du budget militaire qui devrait presque doubler au cours des 5 prochaines années, ce qui vise à doubler la capacité d'intervention rapide et soutenue des forces armées canadiennes à l'étranger l'envoi, en février 2006, de 1 400 soldats canadiens à Kandahar en Afghanistan pour aller tuer des "vermines" terroristes comme l'a si bien expliqué le nouveau Chef d'état-major de la "Défense", le lieutenant-général Rick Hillier et le partenariat militaire agressif de plus en plus grand entre le Canada et les États-Unis sous le couvert de la guerre "contre le terrorisme"
le Collectif Échec à la guerre organise une conference de presse en plein air où il convie les média et le public.

À cette occasion, une déclaration claire de rejet du partenariat militaire canado-étasunien sera rendue publique, signée par plusieurs personnalités québécoises, dont certaines seront sur place pour expliquer pourquoi elles ont endossé cette déclaration.
Nous espérons que cette déclaration servira à consolider, au sein de la société québécoise, un mouvement soutenu de résistance au militarisme croissant de la politique étrangère canadienne.
Vous êtes tous et toutes invitées à venir endosser personnellement la déclaration qui sera dévoilée samedi prochain.
Apportez aussi vos pancartes et vos bannières !
