Replying to Canada at War.
For all of you who don't know, Canada's (the Conservative government's) armed forces have transfered from Kabul to Kandahar on what looks like a decade long WAR alongside the US against the Taliban forces there.
About a day or so after the Conservatives announced to Canada and the world that we were at WAR, Mr Bush comes along and says "So sorry about the shit with the softwood lumber dispute, we are actually great friends with you from the north."
Well thats nice, the consevatives kept their promise of solving the softwood lumber dispute by joining one of the most hated nations in the world in war in Afghanistan.
And, since 2001, we have lost 11 men (correct me if I'm wrong), 3 or whch were bombed by the US, in Afghanistan. Well, we just lost another, and injured 3 more, 2 or so days in to declaring war against "terrorism" with the US.
My question is, what the hell was Canada thinking when we put Conservatives into government? I'm not of voting age, nor do I pay taxes, but I could tell you that I would much prefer a sponsorship scandal with the Liberals than a war in Afghanistan with the US and the Conservatives. Maybe those commercials the Liberals played during the elections were right?
I guess I'm just a little weirded out, cause I'm not so sure now that we (Canada) are safe from terrorists.
