Canadian troops were sent into Afghanistan as part of a UN-authorized and NATO supplied military anti-insurgency mission. Not peacekeeping. Calls for our forces to leave before the job is done only gives comfort to our enemies - the Taliban and their Islamist allies and sympathizers. There is talk of the "enormous sacrifice" made by Canada - this is so far I take to be 76 soldiers and 1 diplomat. Of course the deaths (and permanent injuries to others) are sad and tragic. But, has this country lost its balls to fight against an enemy determined to change how our nation lives - how me and my family will live in the future? I do not want sharia law or an Islamic Canada.
Here is a good article by J.L. Granatstein in the Globe and Mail about this topic,
and here is one about Liberal yellow streaks.
