Canada Afghanistan discussion

Panels exploring the question "What Should Canada Do in Afghanistan Post-2011?" are continuing in cities across Canada this week. 

The Canada-Afghanistan Solidarity Committee would like to thank concerned citizens in Halifax for joining the discussion on Sunday. The public's engagement is critical for ensuring that Canada continues to contribute positively to the international effort in Afghanistan after our present mission comes to an end.

Our next panel takes place in Montreal on Monday night and will include leaders and experts who can provide the audience with a better perspective on what a renewed role for Canada might look like. Full details below:
