Demand an End to War Production!
A
significant and necessary act on Earth Day is to denounce the U.S.
Pentagon as the biggest polluter in the world. U.S./NATO-led wars of
aggression and occupation and the U.S. war industry are based on the
destruction of the productive forces and Mother Earth in order to
dominate rivals. Earth Day can only be true to itself if it denounces
the wastefulness and parasitism of the war industry. Canada pays
billions for armaments for the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine, genocide in
Gaza, aggression against Lebanon and Iran, as well as the
militarization of the Arctic amongst other war preparations, but then
says that paying public servants according to their conditions means
that it will not be able to pay for the delivery of public services,
for social programs, housing for all or even adequate shelters for
abused women. It is fraud in order to hide that imperialist war goes
hand-in-hand with attacks on the working people and destruction of the
environment.
Dismantling the aggressive military alliances NATO and NORAD is required to stop the situation internationally whereby countries have to be on guard and devote their resources to war preparations, armaments and general defence, which in Canada's case are not for defence of Canada in the true sense but for threatening others. By dismantling NATO and NORAD and opposing the use of force and threats of force in international affairs, Canadians and Quebeckers can use resources so that humankind can flourish, rather than for the destruction of other peoples and societies which also destroys the natural environment.
Talk
about "greening" the military with electrification or unmanned electric
drones on land, sea and air, so that it can continue to dominate the
world, albeit remotely or with less carbon emissions, must be rejected
as a complete fraud and a grave danger to peace. Canada's participation
in U.S.
wars of aggression and regime change and the hypocrisy and fraud of
NATO and UN missions carried out in the name of humanitarian aid,
peace, freedom, democracy and discredited pretexts for war such as
"responsibility to protect," "rules-based order" and "human rights"
must all be opposed as threats
to peace and the environment.
All governments of the ruling elite regardless of party affiliation, have shown in practice that they fully identify with the narrow stance of private interests of the rich and the demands of the war government in the United States and its understudy in Canada. To serve these private interests and in the same breath express concern for the environment is absurd.
