Dear Friends,

Who wants to hear a knock on their door at 2 a.m.? The Key family does not know when or if they will hear a knock followed by Joshua Key being escorted across the border and sentenced to decades in a U.S. military prison for the ‘crime’ of opposing war crimes.

You are invited: “The Good Soldier” – a lunch and talk – this Sunday, March 29, 2:00 pm at the U of Winnipeg Bulman Centre; tickets are $25.

It will be a chance to discuss why the Conservatives are deporting U.S. military veterans opposed to war crimes – regardless of the huge humanitarian cost, as common criminals, and to lengthy and undeserved prison sentences.

If you asked me, the Conservatives are using these courageous military veterans – who should receive medals – to spawn examples of dreadful consequences should Canadian or NATO soldiers be tempted to complain about war crimes.

In short, the Conservatives are terrorizing our own soldiers to follow orders, no matter how criminal.
Ignoring the lesson of the Nuremberg trial (1946), they are copying Hitler’s methods how to carry out a war.

To me, it is another sign of capitalism’s plummeting economic and political health.
