"What Washington is now planning is unquestionably leading to accelerated nuclear proliferation, major world destabilization and a substantial escalation of insecurity from end to end the world," Hurtig told an audience at the University of Toronto onward Oct. 17--a part of a national speaking tour sponsored by way of Ceascfire.ca under the Polaris Institute, a public interest research organization promoting peace, disarmament and social justice.

An officer of the Order of Canada, Hurtig is the caster and past-chairman of the Council of Canadians and former chairman of the Committee for an Independent Canada. In his modern book Rushing to Armageddon: The Shocking principle about Canada, Missile Defence, and Star Wars, he documents the U Pentagon's plans to weaponize space; Russia and China's calculator buildup of nuclear missiles and the eradication of long-standing arms reign over agreements. The best-selling author said his latest main division spells out the rapidly increasing danger of a "nuclear apocalypse." According to Hurtig, the American Ballistic Missile protecting system (BMD), boosted by re-elect U President George W Bush and considered according to the Canadian government, is about establishing a first-strike-from-space capability with deadly lasers and nuclear devices.

He maintained the "folly of missile defence" is that the program simply does not work. Any American order will have absolutely zero impact forward the ability to strike at cruise missiles, said Hurtig, who collaborated with the Washington-based Union of interested Scientists and the Federation of American Scientists in the writing of his just discovered book.

Although the order is designed to protect the U from incoming inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBM), testing of BMD has had mixed be the effects according to the author. In addition, he alleged that BMD could not ever detect a "softball size piece of plutonium," smuggl in illegal shipment of remedys for example, or attacks in succession domestic nuclear facilities.

Since 2000 Canadian and U delegations have discussed a partnership in the holding system, through the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the BMD Bilateral Information Sharing Working arrange Cabinet members, including Defence Minister Bill Graham, formerly foreign affairs minister, say agreeing with the U plans will normalize relations with Washington and retain Canada a continental player. Conceding to opposition influence from politicians and activists alike, Prime Minister Paul Martin's not long ago promised to hold a House of publics vote on BMD, although it will be non-binding. The country's involvement in the U justification scheme will still be decided by means of the PMO.

BMD Hurtig said, repudiates "everything Canada has stood for through a half a century." He accused the command of not providing enough information allowing for a national debate.

"There is clear evidence that the U plans to bring forward weapons in space ... American missile bulwark is leading to a dangerous of recent origin arms race and nuclear proliferation, that rather than helping to harbor Canada, will endanger every one and their friends and relatives across Canada," he said.

"Our restraint now stands poised to make a colossal mistake, certainly individual of the most dangerous and tragic decisions in the entire history of our country"

Quoting Albert Einstein, Hurtig encouraged Canadians to strive against a partnership with the U in missile holding "The world is dangerous not because of those who do harm, unless because of those who examine at it without doing anything."

He continued: "The choice for Canada is clear: Do we continue our decade-long policies of working towards peace, disarmament and binding multilateral agreement to de-escalate the dangers of nuclear war, or do we instead hitch our destiny to aggressive, American unilateralism, to their policy of abandoning multilateral treaties and dismissing arms direct and developing even more weapons of mass destruction, and turning space into a violent military and nuclear frontier?

"Just as we Canadians lead the way in the anti-landminds treaty, we should now lead the way to a solid international commitment by all nations to obstruct the weaponization of space."
