So far in 2010 the number of occupation soldiers killed is double that of the number from last year at this time. On April 10 Tyler Todd became the 142nd Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan. The death of Canadian soldiers does not look to be ending anytime soon as the government of Canada is planning to extend its mission beyond its end date of 2011.

With each passing day the 8 year Canada/US/NATO occupation of Afghanistan is being exposed for its brutality and inhumanity. At a parliamentary committee hearing on Wednesday, April 14, Malgarai Ahmadshah, a former translator for the Canadian military confirmed previous reports of Canada's involvement in torture in Afghanistan. It is not only torture but this is terror inflicted on the Afghan population through arrests, killings, and a lack of progress in all aspects of life has that has caused widespread anger and more hostility towards the occupation forces. Afghan people want Canada/US/NATO out of their country immediately. April 12 saw yet another Afghan protest, this time in Kandahar province, in response to the occupation forces killing four more civilians and injuring 18 more.

Mobilization Against War & Occupation (MAWO) is calling on peace loving people in Vancouver to join in protest picket to demand:

CANADA OUT OF AFGHANISTAN NOW!
TROOPS HOME NOW!
STOP THE MASSACRE OF AFGHANS NOW!
