Heroin from Afghanistan, a country where over 2500
Canadian soldiers serve in an imperialist occupation, is increasingly
making its way to Canada and poses a direct threat to the public,
according to documents obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to
Information Act.
Paul Nadeau, the director of the RCMP’s drug branch in
Ottawa, said in August that about 60 per cent of the heroin on Canadian
streets comes from Afghanistan.
Do you remember the argument made by the ‘preventative
war’ strategists that ‘we must fight them (i.e. the terrorists) there so
we won’t have to fight them here’?
Concealed were the costs of collaborating with
recycled terrorists and professional drug lords who run the puppet
government in Kabul.
Obscured was the vast network of opium farmers and
transporters, on both sides of the conflict in the war ravaged economy.
Not mentioned is the human cost of countless dead Afghan civilians and 69
slain Canadian Forces personnel, the latest three falling in one
mid-August week, all from Quebec—where public opposition to the war is
reaching new heights.
More reasons to demonstrate on Oct. 27 to demand
‘Canada out of Afghanistan’.
