100

The Canadian death toll in Afghanistan reached 100 today.

The Globe and Mail, Canada's self-proclaimed newspaper of record, predictably published an easy patriotic editorial which concluded by saying that "We should reflect on the fact that Canada is making a difference in the world".

Ironically, there's another article in the Globe and Mail. It basically says that we're going backwards. In other words, Canadian troops are having a negative -at best neutral- effect.

Hmm...
