Artist's Comments

Canada is currently under a conservative (torie) government headed by this man, and these people were calling for Canada's troups to be pulled out of Afghanistan.

The statue pulled over was a very good likeness of the Prime Minister, and funnily enough, the guy who made it, used it previously for a GW.Bush statue.

When i asked him about it, he said "I just chopped off george bush's head, and made a harper one." then I asked him what he did with the bush head.. he replied "I kept it in the shed.. I was going to bring it, but when i picked it up, it fell apart and termites came out of it" (he chuckled)

The event was put on by M.A.W.O, which stands for "Mobilization Against War & Occupation"

In the background is Malalai Joya, an Afghan politician who has been called "the bravest woman in Afghanistan." As an elected member of the Parliament from Farah province, she has publicly denounced the presence of what she considers warlords and war criminals in the parliament.

Cool pic and message. You described the party as "conservative (torie)". I think it is important to note that this current party has little to do with the old Tory or PC party, it is really the Reform party. The PC party was absorbed into this new party driven by Fundamentalist Christian values. It is a scary time for Canada.

Yeah, mainly i put it there for people overseas, who may be more familiar with that term.

I agree tho, canada is turning into the states.

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)

I'm not aware on what's going on in Canada but this picture reminds me of the moment that the Saddam statue fell to the ground.

Good capture
