Marleau urged to reject security measure

Members and supporters of Sudbury Against War and Occupation are pressuring Sudbury MP Diane Marleau to vote against a bill they say is discriminatory.

Earlier this afternoon, 12 or 15 people -- members and supporters of Sudbury Against War and Occupation (SAWO) and other members of the community -- gathered in front of the office of Liberal MP Diane Marleau to demand that she vote against Bill C-3. A couple of members of the group presented our basic objections to this legislation, in English and French. These objections can be found in our media release from earlier in the week. One individual who had sent a letter to Marleau shared some of the content of a response she had received and talked about why she found it unsatisfactory. Another member read a statement against C-3 from the local representative of the Canadian Labour Congress, who was out of town and so could not attend herself. Here is the text of the statement:

On Friday, January 25th, at 1 pm, members and supporters of Sudbury Against War and Occupation (SAWO) and other members of the community will gather on the northeast corner of Elgin and Elm outside the office of Diane Marleau, Liberal MP for Sudbury, to seek an answer to the question of whether she supports two-tiered justice, indefinite detention, inadequate due process, and deportation to torture, or if she will stand up against them.
