Listen to an interview with Jaggi Singh of Block the Empire in Montreal on Canada's military mission in Afghanistan.
Recently Canada's Minister of Defense, stated yesterday that Canada's military mission in southern Afghanistan will effectively end in 2009, a potential blow to NATO military operations in the country.
The five year Canadian military mission, originally agreed upon by a Liberal government in the country, is facing growing criticism throughout Canada as 70 soldiers have died, the majority in the past year.
In Quebec, a strong majority of the province stands in opposition to the military mission, while a majority across the country favor an alternative to the southern Afghanistan NATO combat operation.
Afghan civilians are facing the NATO bombardment, recently British military officials estimated that hundreds of civilians have been killed in the past 6 months, while an accurate death toll has not maintained by the NATO military occupying forces.
