 From Radio-Canada Int'l:
"Approximately 200 people demonstrated against Canada's military role in
Afghanistan in Halifax on Saturday, one of several demonstrations planned
that day in Canadian cities. In Montreal, approximately 500 people marched
under the rain. Nearby, three people demonstrated in favour of Canadian
military action. In Toronto, the leader of the federal opposition New
Democratic Party (NDP), Jack Layton, again urged a return of Canadian 
troops, saying that it was the wrong mission for Canada. The anti-military 
marchers urged Canada's government to return to the country's traditional 
role as a peacemaking nation. Approximately 2,300 Canadian soldiers are 
participating in NATO's mission in Afghanistan."
