[Sundaycommunity] Canada for Boycotting Nagasaki Memorial Service in Solidarity with Israel

[Maryanne Stone-Jimenez]

This is the link to Setsuko Thurlow's powerful op ed in the *Toronto
Star* published
in the August 7 online edition of the paper
https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/i-survived-the-atomic-bomb-attack-on-hiroshima-canada-still-hasnt-learned-the-lesson-from/article_80c8246c-5431-11ef-bedc-9b60b5aa1308.html

The op ed contains a link to the Hiroshima Nagasaki Day Coalition's "Canada
and the Atom Bomb" exhibition which is posted online on the Toronto
Metropolitan University website
http://imagearts.ryerson.ca/hiroshima/canada-and-the-atom-bomb/

The exhibition reveals Canada's "hidden history that connects us with
Hiroshima and Nagasaki" through our country's uranium mining and refining
and complete
integration with the American Manhattan Project that developed the atom
bomb.

The introduction to the exhibition, "Canada and the Atom Bomb: Remembering
as an Act of Resistance," http://imagearts.ryerson.ca/hiroshima/remembering/
highlights Canada's role in the development of nuclear weapons and the
struggle for their elimination led by peace activists such as Setsuko.
