A few members of Peace Alliance Winnipeg picketed and handed out leaflets in front of the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg. Inside the hotel, former Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy was a featured speaker at a Canadian Red Cross seminar entitled “Perspectives on International Humanitarian Law.”
Axworthy has been actively promoting military intervention in Syria. Peace Alliance Chair, Glenn Michalchuk, offers an alternative viewpoint in this video report.
