I'm against this war, I'm against the torture. We're doing this for the people of Iraq.

The reality is no one knows how much it will cost us to wage war with Iraq.

I don't think those messages really get through. I think people know this demonstration is about the war in Iraq, and I think that theme overrides any other messages that may be off-message. You get what I'm saying? I think at every peace demonstration you have many voices, but I think the central message is about the war in Iraq.

People distinguish between the Canadian mission in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. They see it as part of Canada's traditional role in helping sustain peace around the world.

We're building a growing movement against the war in Iraq that will give people who feel uncomfortable about the war a place to share their concerns and discuss and work through a solution -- should it be immediate withdrawal or an exit strategy. We want to build a consensus that we want to get out.

The Iraq war was not necessary.
