They did something they really did not want to do only to make sure they could sell things to the Afghans. No. Canada sent troops to Afghanistan to prevent the US from throwing up trade hassles between the US and Canada. That's always the big stick the US waves at Canada. Softwood lumber, mad-cow beef, etc. There's nothing to be gained for Canada in Afghanistan (commercial or otherwise). It's all about keeping the trade lanes open between Canada and the US. But for the US, you apparently get a real hard-on when you occupy foreign real estate, set up military bases, air bases, liberate oil fields, etc. Second thing, I guess you're too DENSE to see the difference between murdering 16 civillians door-to-door in the middle of the night vs anxious soldiers at checkpoints with ichy trigger fingers. I see ONE man who broke under the pressure and not a number of people with itchy trigger fingers, and thus poor training. What's wrong with your reading comprehension? Can't you follow a thread? Go back and look at the comments where Trader4 is trying to associate or draw similarities with this 1-man murder spree and Canadian soldiers who have shot afghan civillians in cars at checkpoints. I'm only pointing out to that fool that it's asinine to compare the two situations. And I'm only pointing out that you're an anti-American bigot and hypocrite. If what was going on in Afghanistan were your real concern, then you'd be railing against the Canadian govt, which you claim buckled under economic interests to send troops there. And you'd be railing against them for Canadian troops shooting innocent children. Yet, your peculiar selective moral anger is only directed at the USA. Curious thing that. As for a lone gunmen going berserk, Canada isn't immune from them either, so perhaps you should do your bitching the "The Dawson College shooting occurred on September 13, 2006 at Dawson College, a CEGEP in Westmount near downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The perpetrator, Kimveer Gill, began shooting outside the de Maisonneuve Boulevard entrance to the school, and moved towards the atrium by the cafeteria on the main floor.[1][2] One victim died at the scene, while another 19 were injured, eight of whom were listed in critical condition with six requiring surgery.[3][4][5] The shooter later committed suicide by shooting himself in the head, after being shot in the arm by police.[6]" "Marc Lépine (October 26, 1964 – December 6, 1989) was a 25-year-old man from Montreal, Canada who murdered fourteen women and wounded ten women and four men[1] at the École Polytechnique, an engineering school affiliated with the Université de Montréal, in the "École Polytechnique massacre", also known as the "Montreal Massacre".[2][3] He had long complained about women working in non-traditional jobs, and after separating men and women in a classroom, he shot the women, claiming that he was fighting feminism. He then moved into other parts of the building, targeting women as he went, before killing himself.

Believe it or not, that matters. Especially the way your economy is heading.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'm sure our status does indeed matter. When you or some other pansy country and their socialist pinko govts let the bad guys get out of control again and needs us to save your asses, then our status will improve to be just peachy keen.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - YOU are the bad guys these days. ONLY in the eyes of ignorant ****heads like you Funny, how you are on the side of the other ****heads like the Taliban One has to wonder why. |
