Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair
will be in Toronto on
January 17 to speak to an exclusive meeting
(over $400 per ticket)
organized by TD Bank Financial group.
As prime minister, Blair was the key ally and
backer of George Bush's
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq . On Iraq , Blair
notoriously misled the
British public and world opinion by falsely
claiming that Iraq had
the capacity to launch Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMDs) within 45
minutes.
No WMDs were ever found in Iraq . The reasons
given for war proved to
be lies. Since the war began, over one million
Iraqis have been
killed. These are war crimes.
Since his retirement, Blair has continued to
push his disastrous
policies on Palestine as the Middle East "peace"
envoy - once again,
supporting Bush's plans for wider US control
of the region.
It was Blair's unconditional support for Israel
's war on Lebanon in
2006 - and his refusal to support a ceasefire
- that led to a revolt
within his own party, eventually forcing him
to announce his date of
departure from politics.
Join us to rally for an end to the occupations
in Afghanistan , Iraq
and Palestine - and to condemn the pro-war
policies of Tony Blair.
