We have been receiving many photos of the awesome protests happening across the country against the proposed $19 Billion (or is it really $77 Billion…?) new fleet of fighter jets for the Canadian military.

Here is a sampling gathered through Twitter of the many inspiring and creative actions organized by the #Nofighterjets Coalition at MP offices, just as Parliament is returning.

#NoNewFighterJets protests kicked off across the country yesterday calling on the govt to cancel their planned purchase of 88 new war planes. More protests in Nanaimo, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Collingwood, Toronto and Montreal throughout this week. Join in: https://t.co/rE9kVi23c1 pic.twitter.com/tj6eWlbSzK

Montreal

Today I joined more than 20 activists at environment minister @s_guilbeault's office in Montréal for the week of action calling for an end to the planned purchase of expensive climate destroying, dangerous warplanes. NO NEW FIGHTER JETS!! #NoNewFighterJets https://t.co/GkxPCZWlex pic.twitter.com/J1Zc2EVyw6

📻 Listen to #NoNewFighterJets campaign member @TamaraLorincz debating @mattgurney on @MikeSmythNews @CKNW @globalnews radio. Tune in starting at 41:35 to hear why fighter jets are directly contributing to climate crisis, not the solution to it:https://t.co/uXYS8TCFfv #cdnpoli

I just wrote a letter to the Canadian government demanding they cancel plans to purchase 88 new warplanes (for $77 billion total cost!). Canada does not need to buy fighter jets – let's stop this purchase before it happens. Act here: https://t.co/3PN7MtkM1C #NoNewFighterJets

“A protest in front of Parliament Hill on Monday was one of many being held across Canada this week to call on the federal government to cancel its purchase of 88 fighter jets at a cost of $19 billion.” #NoNewFighterJets https://t.co/faOVBkFHKa

Starting today, a week of action will take place across Canada in opposition to the federal’s government’s plan to purchase 88 new warplanes at a cost of $19 billion.

Cambridge, Ontario

Outside of #Cambridge MP @_BryanMay's office. We don't want federal government to waste $19 billion to buy 88 new fighter jets. We want investment on #ClimateAction, #education & #housing. @VOWPeace @nofighterjets @CTVNews @liberal_party #ConsultingCanadians #NoNewFighterJets pic.twitter.com/d61GL2PYYv

Thank you everyone who came out for our No New Fighter Jets Day of Action. We need a just foreign policy and climate action now, not more annexation of Indigenous land. @nofighterjets #ygk #nonewfighterjets pic.twitter.com/5Y0uu6qjhI

Halifax

Shout out to the #NoNewFighterJets rally in Halifax who just brought the message right to their MP. @AndyFillmoreHFX — how do you justify spending $19 billion on bomber jets in a climate emergency? https://t.co/AfiEoIEDTA

Madawaska, New Brunswick

Je viens d'appeler au bureau de mon député fédéral René Arseneault pour lui indiquer mon opposition à l'achat de 88 nouveaux avions de guerre. Ces 19 $ milliards devraient aller vers des projets sociaux au lieu d'appuyer l'impérialisme anglo-américain. #NoNewFighterJets 🕊️☮️

At @BardishKW's office in #Waterloo to let her know #Canadians don't want federal govt to buy new fossil-fuel powered fighter jets for $19 billion price tag (lifecycle cost of $77B).

Victoria

🔥#NoNewFighterJets protest at MP Laurel Collins' office in #Victoria yesterday. @Laurel_BC — do you really support the purchase of 88 new climate-destroying warplanes designed to drop bombs in US and NATO wars (for a lifetime cost of over $76 billion)? pic.twitter.com/42rCjVdOP0
