Who Benefits?

All evidence suggests Canada is wasting lives and money but achieving nothing for the people of Afghanistan, by having our troops in their country. Our Conservative government's Department of National Defence is about to spend $9-16 billion on 65 "modern" aircraft - like the ones used by the Americans, who also build them!

May we hope that these planes will be more accurate in their aim, so that fewer Afghan civilians will be killed or injured?

A Comedy of Errors!

Iggy should be laughing a lot as the P.M. gets deeper in the mire with the Jaffer scandal, and Richard Colvin revealing the truth with respect to the Afghan fiction. However, the polls continue to show the Tories rising!

"It's as simple as that," Iggy replies to all or any questions, while never looking at the camera. When will those Liberal back-room boys get the message? OK, they turfed out Stephane Dion and fell over themselves to induct their famous candidate.

This has to be the greatest-ever comedy or spoof in Canadian politics. Unfortunately, the joke's on us!
