CANADA NEEDS A CULTURE OF PEACE: CHILDREN NEED A CULTURE OF PEACE
Do these Afghanistan civilians look like what he calls,
“detestable murderers & scumbags”?
Canadians want to be helpers, aid-givers & peacemakers. Now, in Afghanistan our aid means, “90% deadly combat.” Canada’s armed forces are killing children, children, like ours, who deserve a culture of peace, not a culture of war. We have never believed that killing people helped them to gain justice & peace. Why are we killing in Afghanistan? Are we merely tools of USA?
Is this Afghan child our enemy?
All Canadian children deserve education, adventure and training for live a full and happy life in Canada and to serve Canada peacefully abroad in aid and development work. The military is not the place for this life.
A Culture of Peace would provide funding & structures for all children to have education and opportunities to help themselves, Canada & the world to become a peaceful and just place for all children to live in. A culture of peace creates alternatives to war & violence. All children and all people deserve a culture of peace.
