OTTAWA - The current guidebook for Canadian newcomers includes two pages on environmental stewardship and barely a mention of the Canadian military - and that has Jason Kenney hopping mad.
Kenney, the Conservative minister of Citizenship and Immigration, has ordered an overhaul of the 12-year-old citizenship test and accompanying educational material.
It's part of a government push to foster greater integration of immigrants into the Canadian mosaic, Kenney told The Canadian Press in an interview.
The current 47-page immigrant booklet, entitled "A Look at Canada," dates from 1997, when the previous Liberal governments were just four years into their 13-year run.
As Kenney acerbically characterizes it, the booklet includes two pages "on recycling" - but "not one single sentence on Canadian military history."

Good. See what happens when Conservatives run government? Even in the minority they’re making good things happen.
Ping!
Not one senetnce on the Candian armed forces? That is an utter disgrace.
Yep.
That’s why our Conservative government is fixing it. :-)
Good one them! The men and women of Canada’s armed forces deserve it.
Good ON them...
