Do you think that the Canadians recent military prowress and resolve is directly related to their winning the mens AND womens hockey Gold Medals?

[Mahone]

But of course! Eh?

Bump.

"In the Shahi Kot mountains, Canadian heroes from 3-PPCLI,"

I'm finally getting used to understanding the abbreviations. Heroes from Third-Princess Patricia's, Canadian Light Infantry.

Well, I've got tickets to an Islanders game next week..I may go and take a THANK YOU CANADA banner with me....probably some drunken yoyo will think I'm rooting for the Canadians or the Maple Leafs and beat me over the head with it...

[Chemist_Geek]

Yup, the Taliban and al-Qaeda are cowering in terror in their caves. First from the roar of B-52s' jet engines, and now from the roaring "Eh, eh" of charging Canadian infantry...

Go English-speaking peoples! (grin) Woo-hoo! USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, and the UK, fighting together today against terror!

[Chemist_Geek]

What is PPCLI, anyway? Division size, regimental size, or some other Imperial size unit?

No, but winning Mens and Womens hockey is directly related to Canadian military prowless and resolve.:)

OTTAWA - L'honorable Art Eggleton, ministre de la Défense nationale, a annoncé aujourd'hui que le Canada enverra quelque 750 soldats en Afghanistan dans le cadre de l'opération Apollo, la contribution canadienne à la campagne de la coalition contre le terrorisme menée par les États-Unis (opération Enduring Freedom). Des membres du groupement tactique du 3e Bataillon, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (3 PPCLI), seront déployés à Kandahar dans le cadre d'une force opérationnelle de l'Armée américaine, d'ici la mi-février.

...sounds like a metric battalion.
