all soldiers deaths in canada have been front page news from their deaths to their funerals, leaving afghanistan, repatriation, the drive thru toronto etc. regardless of hometown or where they were stationed in canada.
while the number of murdered canadian soldiers is not as high as u.s. soldiers it is proportional i believe. and canadians are not in iraq..they are in afghanistan only..
i find it disrespectful to those who give their lives to be disregarded so callously, for whatever reason..there is no reason good enough as far as i'm concerned unless the families request no coverage.
the murdered soldiers proudly stood up for their i.d. tag photos and proudly stood up for their countries..

That's the people we've got runnin' this country for us. Someone's trying to cover their butts by attempting to avert our attention from the high number of fallen soldiers (by hardly even telling us about it and not letting us see them unloading the coffin's, etc.) Well it won't work.
Not to be discussing politics or anything, but I think in the white house they know they're causing a lot of young soldiers to get killed so they're trying to get the monkey off their back.
