The Canadian Boat to Gaza blog

CanadianBoatToGaza's picture

The Canadian Boat to Gaza blog will keep you up to date on fundraising and organizing efforts in support of the 'Tahrir', a Canadian boat which is currently part of the 'Freedom Waves to Gaza'. Bloggers will report from on board the Tahrir and on support activities in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Vancouver, Victoria and many points in between.

Canadian civil society has a responsibility to fight the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza and to expose the Canadian government's unjustified support for Israel. The time has come to send a Canadian boat to challenge the blockade of Gaza, in coordination with similar international efforts. Check out the Boat to Gaza's website at http://tahrir.ca or follow us at twitter.com/CanadaBoatGaza.
