**************************************************
June 22nd, 2007, Quebec, QC - A day of disruptive actions to denounce the August deployment of 2000 soldiers to Afghanistan from the Royal 22nd Regiment of Valcartier. On June 22nd, the soldiers of the Valcartier garrison will parade for dignitaries and citizens as part of a military parade and symbolic flourishing of arms in the heart of the Old City of Quebec. The GUERRE À LA GUERRE coalition has called for the disruption of the march and actions opposing the deployment of Canadian troops in Afghanistan. According the the coalition's callout: "This demonstration will not target soldiers, it will target the federal government and the Canadian military authorities. (...) The war in Afghanistan being waged under cover of humanitarian aid is not improving the situation of Afghani people. It is a war fought for strategic and economic interests, in order to extend the control of Western countries over the Middle East. This war is in perfect harmony with the colonialist logic of capitalism and it's economic players who seek to impose it throughout the world."

**************************************************
June 29 2007 : Turtle Island (occupied North America) -- All across "Canada," there are ongoing struggles for native sovereignty and self-determination: from Sun Peaks to Burnt Church, from Dene Territory to Nitassinan , from Grassy Narrows to Six Nations. Recently, CN Rail decided to sue three Mohawk activists for over $100 million dollars because of their participation in a rail blockade in defence of land rights. CN Rail is built on stolen native land. CN Rail's headquarters are in Montreal. In conjunction with nationwide protests in defence of native sovereignty on June 29, called by indigenous groups, we will discuss a solidarity demonstration in Montreal, linked to our organizing this summer against war, and against the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
**************************************************
August 21st and 22nd, 2007, Montebello, QC - Mass demonstrations and disruptions to denounce and derail the meeting for the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), and the state visits to Quebec of George W. Bush, Stephen Harper, and Felipe Calderón. The heads of state of Canada, the US and Mexico are meeting at Château Montebello, in the Outaouais, the 21st and 22nd of August, to pursue the economic and security integration of North America. Block the Empire! Montreal and the Stop SPP Action Committee of Ottawa are calling for direct action against the SPP meeting at Montebello.
ACCtion Against Atlantica (Halifax), Guerre à la guerre (Quebec City), and Block the Empire! (Montreal) follow the five hallmarks of People's Global Action: www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/agp/free/pga/hallm.htm
