When you put all the pieces together, it’s clear that Harper wants to do a lot more than be able to send commandos, stealth fighters, and drones to fight wars around the world. Now he wants to sell billions in arms internationally, making Canada a global weapons dealer.
On April 15, we asked Ceasefire.ca supporters how they would better spend the money wasted on weapons and war.
Today is the Global Day of Action On Military Spending. How would you spend the money wasted wasted on weapons and war?
On March 3rd Ceasefire.ca supporters and allies responded en masse to Be Heard – No Attack Drones! Nearly 6,000 letters have been sent so far! Ceasefire.ca has received responses from the Green Party and the NDP.
Thousands of emails and postcards are being sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other party leaders, and we are more than halfway to our goal of delivering 10,000 messages to Parliament. But there is a lot more work to be done.
March 22nd was Kevin Page’s last day as Parliamentary Budget Officer, and Ceasefire.ca would like to thank him for consistently demanding transparency from the Harper government.
