It's an unbelievable number, 66,655 Canadians died in the Great War. How could our country have survived those terrible losses? Canada was barely a country, but we sent more young men per capita than any other country in the world.
We did not draft them, they volunteered, many as young as 16, they did our country so proud.
We are now watching more young Canadians fighting, and dying for a cause. Many people say, what cause, why are our troops there? They want our troops to come home, well so do I, but not at the risk of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan again.
Canadians showed today that they really do support our troops, I have hope that Canadians have got their priorities right, that they understand that we must fight terrorists where they live, before they come to where we live.
I sincerely thank all of our veterans from all the wars, for giving me freedom of thought, speech, and action. I can not even begin to fathom the horrors of war, thank you, dear soldiers, you have protected me from that. I can not even think about living with no water, no electricity, could our young people ever survive the hardships that the Afghanistan people go through everyday.
How can we not help these people, especially when they are begging for our help. Fight the good fight Canada!

Taliban Jack is screaming about the 42 Canadian deaths over 4 years.
I guess he forgot about the 3598 men who died in the single day battle that took Vimy Ridge.
Have no doubt, in Jack Layton's little mind ... errr world, he would be protesting Canadian troops fighting against Hitler. Of COURSE he would!!!
