Robert McClelland isn't totally useless after all: via his blog comes word that the NDP is coming to Québec City in September for their national convention. And with resolutions like this one coming down the chute, looks like it will be a real scream:
WHEREAS, the Invasion of Afghanistan was illegal.
AND WHEREAS, the Government has defined no end-point to mark success,
AND WHEREAS, General Hillier has stated that the Canadian Armed Forces will have to stay there at least ten years,
AND WHEREAS, Canadians were sent there originally to stabilize and help with reconstruction,
AND WHEREAS, Canadian Forces are now caught up in aggressive operations as part of the US “Operation Enduring Freedom” in what is essentially one side of a civil war,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the NDP caucus press the government to request the United Nations to enter into negotiations between the various factions leading to a cease-fire, thus allowing Canada to revert to its traditional role as Peacekeeper.
Illegal war? A cease-fire with the Taliban?
Where can I get my observer pass?
