That group probably wants our military reduced to nothing. Fortunately, few people outside Quebec share that view...

Mia Culpa....... Apologias.

I remember Canada when it WAS free.

Praps there are a few Canucks lurking who also remember.

Hope so!

YeeeeHaw!!

It is about friggin time.

I can only pray the lefties in Ottawa do not shut this guy down anytime soon.

I believe Maleherbes was being sarcastic.

"We are not the Public Service of Canada," he declared. "We are not just another department. We are the Canadian Forces and our job is to be able to kill people."

Now we're talkin'!!! Good for Hillier!

I'm not surprised at his tone at all ... he's a Newfie and they say it as it is. What I am surprised at is that the libs picked him in the first place. He's the kind of guy who can send off the leftists crying and covering their ears.

In order to defeat the scumbags we must first fix the immigration system. If you're not going to go after the enemies within, because there are a lot of al-Qaeda people here then the efforts in Afghanistan will be rendered useless.

Hi North:

Considering his 'tough' (i.e., truthful and completely appropriate) language, I'm surprised some jerk liberal gov't flunky hasn't sent the good General to "Club Ed".

I wish him and the Canadian Forces well.

Regards,
Levante in Spain

Refreshingly blunt.
