All Out for the January 25 Day of Action No War on Iran! All Foreign Troops Out of Iraq!
CALENDAR OF EVENTSThe Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist)
calls on all peace-loving people to join in the January 25 Global Day
of Protest to condemn targeted assassinations and the threat of war
against Iran.
Whenever the crisis in the U.S. deepens and the
U.S. resorts to such unlawful acts as targeted assassinations, a
stupendous effort is made to turn attention away from its condemnable
activities and raise every manner of diversion to create a situation
whereby the people themselves who are subjected to threats of
aggression and genocide are made the focus of attention. The government
of Canada is an appeaser of the U.S. in this regard. It must not pass! The peoples of Iraq and Iran have always opposed
the occupation of their countries by the U.S. and other members of its
aggressive military alliance NATO. Now, in spite of the fact that the
Iraqi parliament has passed a resolution calling for the departure of
all foreign forces, neither the U.S. nor Canada have any intention of
complying with it. Trump uncouthly said U.S. troops would not leave
unless Iraq paid the U.S. back for the "billions" it put into the
country, threatening to steal its national oil revenues deposited in a
U.S. bank account. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan has declared: "We
have to respect their process [speaking of the Iraqi vote] but it is
more complicated than just one vote." No to U.S.-Led Wars of
Terror!

At the heart of
the matter is the use of force to resolve conflicts and acts which run
counter to acceptable norms of behaviour as well as international laws
established after the Second World War. The very notion of
international law has been cast aside by the ruling elites of the world
under the auspices of NATO and its "rules-based international order" in
which the warmongers, headed by the U.S., set the "rules."
Not only is
Canada continuing to participate in the illegal occupation of Iraq, it
is playing yet again a leading role to appease U.S. imperialism by
promoting the disinformation that the U.S. is the indispensable nation
with its continued occupation of Iraq and interference in the region,
where it has over 65,000 troops plus thousands of private mercenaries
deployed.
