They were no shows in Iraq! I have all the respect for Canada but before this guy was elected the one before him regularly bashed us.
What in Sam Hell does that have to do with the guys in uniform?
Jean Chretien and the Quebec-loving Liberal party were to blame for that. He would have tried to avoid Afghanistan but for two things; the Canadian public supported the Afghan mission, and Canada was obliged by NATO Treaty obligations to participate.
Hell, in WWII, Quebecois didn't want to fight in Europe. There were draft riots all over Quebec.
We may have been no-shows in Iraq but we’ve certainly more than done our share in Afghanistan which allowed you to divert more resources to Iraq
