An interesting article on the feeling of a lack of recognition, at least by this author, of Canadas' military contribution to the conflicts.
Personally, I attribute this to the medias tacit refusal to acknowledge any militarys' worth. By doing so they would be acknowledging the failure of the UN and the "peace & justice" mantra they regurgitate incessantly.

There are about 100,000 US troops in Afghanistan, and less than 1000 Canadians. That may have something to do with the lack of recognition.

I’m sure part of the reason they’re “forgotten” is because they’re still patsies for the UK, as is every other Euro-centric English colony SINCE the US (they learned their lesson). They’re not truly independent of “their” queen. Probably looked upon as just another part of the UK. Become truly independent, and maybe you’ll be noticed.

Why did you dig up this column from 2002, almost ten years old?
Curious.

Canada is actually America’s worst enemy. We’ve fought six wars with Canada—more than we have with any other country. However, in four of those wars, we were English and they were French.

A Candiian once told me there was no such thing as a Canadian patriot. I found that hard to bellieve, but he swore it was true.

The country the world forgot - again
All over Mauritania and Paraguay and Bhutan and Nauru people are reading this and saying (in their respective languages), "Dang, they forgot about us -- again!"
