NICK TAYLOR, Senator and former Leader of the Alberta Liberal Party

�What is Canada, in the bombing raids, saying to the world? We must be
prepared to live with the precedent we are now setting.� 
Sen. Douglas Roche

�I�m not in favour of bombing helpless people. I think we should ask for
a two-week truce and
talk.�                                                                                                                                                                     

Sen. Nick Taylor

�As a Jew, I�m outraged at the total inappropriateness of the analogy to
Hitler and the Holocaust to justify NATO�s illegal bombing of a civilian
population.�                                            Michael Mandel

�What is most important now is the question of legitimacy. The evidence
suggests that we are literally destroying an entire nation � at the
bequest of an armed terrorist organization with links to organized
crime.�                                                 Michel
Chossudovsky

�The NATO arsenal pounding Yugoslavia every day is an overwhelming force
of cruise missiles, bombers and fighter aircraft... Canada has joined a
U.S. led NATO
attack.                                                                                

Buzz Hargrove

�We urge Canada and all governments contributing to and supporting NATO
to stop this disastrous course of war. New policies of non-violence are
necessary to end the war of extermination in Serbia and Kosovo and to
prevent it from escalating throughout the
Balkans.�                                                                                                           

Debbie Grisdale

�The attack on Yugoslavia is a unilateral and unprecedented act of war
by the world�s most powerful military alliance in violation of
international law and NATO�s own
charter.�
