Might be odd to post this here, but since many Canadian civilians I speak with about Afghanistan seem to think that it's Iraq, or that the two are the same, what impact will these anti-war films have on Canadian public opinion? Will they look at DePalma's portrayal of insane rapist Marines and...

Speaking as a Canadian soldier who saw British troops roll out of camp in unarmored Land Rovers, I'm very happy to hear that they are getting some armor. We've learned through hard experiance that our own LAV 3(a wheeled vehicle comparable to the Warrior) has been invaluable in combat and in...

All I can say is: WTF is Coderre on?? Does he honestly believe what he's saying? In any case I take this as a sign that if the Liberals regain power they'll toss out the best CDS we've had in a long time for the sake of party politics. Liberal MP slams Hillier as Conservative 'prop' Last...
