why do so verry few in canada support canadain troops in the feild? It seems that most could care more that canadain boys and gals are putting it on the line in a land so far away How many of them wish to be there, not many I am sure , but they are there, because our goverment sent them . So every one who votes liberial here is some what resposable in sending them, but it appears that few even care.
Too bad , to myself somewhat shamefull, it must be the canadian way.
wether a peace lover or a warmonger , we as a people sent the troops, we as a people should support the troops, i doubt a dollar post card and a fifty two cent stamp will break anyone's budget
makes me not so proud to be a canuck
Its unfortunately largely due to lack of information available through media. Media tends to spur interest & our media simply doesn't focus on what our troops are doing anywhere near as much as the US media focuses on their troops for example.
Lately I've found that almost any American who has knowledge of military in general, will be one of the first to jump to defend the capabilitys of our military. Sad, but true... for quite a while my best source of information regarding up to date & current publicized news on what Canada's government in general was up to, (as well as a decent deal of info on our troops) was the website of the Canadian > US Embassy.
Its a great idea though & thank you Wannabe for those links!
