[John Manley] declared Canada's fighting mission to be noble and justifiable, but also said it's doomed to fail unless other NATO countries shoulder a heavier burden. Panel member and former Manitoba MP Jake Epp said he believes the committee has provided the country with a "road map" that will allow Canada to make a difference in Afghanistan, including improving health care and education and bringing peace to Afghanistan. Quote -- "Canada's presence in Afghanistan matters." -- Former Liberal cabinet minister John Manley, head of a special panel that says Canada should stay in Afghanistan past 2009 if certain conditions are met.

The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

I am curious as to Selena Hinds' reasoning for referring to the ethnic background of the would-be rescuer. "A Filipino man jumped in after them when he realized the pair might drown..." Explain to me what possible bearing this man's ethnic background had on the story. It's easy to say that anything worth fighting for is worth dying for. But we must understand and believe in what we're fighting for. That's no longer true in Afghanistan. Should Canada continue to contribute troops to the war in Afghanistan? This is an agonizing question for Canadians. Watching the almost daily news of another soldier fallen is a truly painful experience. There are clearly reasons to stay and reasons to leave. One factor that I think should go into the decision is whether Canada is, in a sense, losing mor...

[Robert Gates] signalled that more NATO soldiers are needed in Afghanistan as he played down any concern that some NATO countries might pull their troops out. Although Gates made no mention of the ongoing debate in Canada over whether the deployment of 2,500 soldiers to Kandahar ought to be extended, he made it clear that the Pentagon's recent decision to deploy 3,200 troops to the south was not permanent. I did reach out to the Canadian defence minister yesterday. They had suffered a loss near Kandahar, I think the day before, and I wanted to make sure they understood our respect for their contribution and how much of an impact they are making," Gates told a news conference in Washington one day after the Pentagon moved to avert a diplomatic row with its allies after the interview. Ga...

Mr. [Gates] said that NATO troops in southern Afghanistan were ill-prepared to fight a counterinsurgency. While he didn't name countries, that could only mean British, Canadian and Dutch forces. Mr. Gates was backpedalling within minutes of the story's release, expressing "regret and embarrassment" to Canada and other outraged parties. It was dumb to fault countries doing the fighting and dying -- the 77th Canadian killed in Afghanistan was being brought home as the story broke. At the same time, however, audiences in all three nations must have known that Mr. Gates was not entirely wrong -- most of our NATO allies are not waging an effective counterinsurgency in the south, or anywhere else in Afghanistan.
