VANCOUVER - Paul Martin has yet to be sworn in as prime minister, but he‘s already attracting protesters.
Demonstrators from an anti-war group are planning to picket a Liberal party fund-raising dinner in downtown Vancouver Thursday night.
Martin is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the $290-a-plate dinner at the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel.
Members of the StopWar.ca coalition say they will picket outside the hotel to demand the withdrawal of Canadian troops from Afghanistan.
They are also protesting any possible participation in the U.S. National Missile Defence program, the latest effort at a "Star Wars"-style anti-ballistic missile defence for the continent.
Martin will be sworn in as prime minister on Dec. 12.
