+++++++++++++++*

This coming July 3, 2008, Quebec City is commemorating the 400th anniversary
of its colonial foundations, "discovered" by Samuel de Champlain in the name
of the King of France.

On the same day, the 22nd Royal Regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces, just
returned from Afghanistan, will be openly parading on the streets of old
Quebec City.

In response to a call to action by the Guerre à la guerre Coalition in
Quebec City to continue opposition to the war in Afghanistan, Block the
Empire Montreal invites you to join the resistance on the streets to oppose
this unabashed show of colonial domination and imperial power. The main
mobilization in Quebec City will be child-friendly.

* ENDORSE THE ANTI-COLONIAL CONTINGENT*

In support of the anti-war demonstrations in Quebec City on July 3, 2008,
Block the Empire-MONTREAL is organizing an "ANTI-COLONIAL CONTINGENT" to
highlight opposition to the colonial underpinnings of Canada & Quebec, to
demonstrate solidarity with ongoing indigenous struggles for justice and
self-determination on Turtle Island, and to protest against the 400th
anniversary celebrations of the "founding of Quebec."

We encourage you to join us behind the banner: "400 Years of Colonialism:
Nothing to Celebrate! Canada and Quebec are stolen land!" We encourage your
group, collective or organization to endorse the Anti-Colonial Contingent,
and to help mobilize for it. Get in touch via blocktheempire@gmail.com or
514-848-7583.
