Montreal Council on Foreign Relations (CORIM) on Afghanistan and Canadian

ner. The CORIM event was co-sponsored by SNC-Lavalin, and the government-funded NGO Rights and Democracy. Other CORIM sponsors included infamous war profiteering companies like: Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney and Belln Helicopter. Block the Empire-Montreal, a local anti-war, anti-imperialist group, organized a picket to raise awareness about Canadas real role in Afghanistan. They picketed to demand true solidarity, not charity, and to demand the withdrawal of all Canadian troops from Afghanistan. They picketed to denounce the role of the Canadian military, corporations and so-called development agencies in the destructive occupation of Afghanistan.
