I heard about the Canadian soldiers on the AWACS, but what's this about Canadian soldiers fighting alongside British tanks?
It was just brought up in the house during question period and the Minister refused to discuss it. The minister says "we would go down a slippery slope" if the federal government started confirming where the Canadians are.
Common Federal Government of Canada - be proud of what you are contributing to this cause!

We regularly have troops serving with U.S. and British groups both in training missions and deployments. When the Brit and American units went in they stayed with them. The bulk of our folks are on the ships in the Gulf, close to 2000 I believe once the ships currently on route get there. The maritime patrols are commanded by a Canuck (was supposed to be on the Iroquois before it had to turn around due to the chopper incident).
D*mned Chretien is trying to have it both ways. Gets to flap his snippy little Liberal feathers as "independent" yet without acknowledging it send the troops. I can only imagine the morale hit on our folks when they hear him and his venal, small minded, arrogant, petty, childish, dispicable, cowardly, ignorant, worthless (have I forgot any?) MP's spout off like the spoiled namby pamby brainless brats that they are.
I utterly loathe our Prime Minister and curse him for what he and the (insert previous insults here) Liberals have done to my country.
