In the midst of an economic crisis and surrounded by allegations of torture in Afghanistan, Stephen Harper has prorogued Parliament for the second time in just over a year.

While he ducks responsibility for torture, Canadians are overwhelmingly against a war that seems to have no end in sight.

How many more Afghan detainees will be transferred to torture? How many more massacres must Afghan civilians suffer? And how many more Canadian families will bury their sons and daughters before Stephen Harper stops playing politics with other people's lives?

Come and join the discussion on Canada's role in Afghanistan hosted by the U of T New Democrats and the U of T International Socialists.
