Only on CBC, you say? Pity!
I watched a CBC afternoon Newsworld Report yesterday. Some chirpy, but hewn from brimstone, female is showing us the Mr. Happy Face Canadian soldiers in Kabul. The video shot shows the Canadian in "Shoot me dead" green clothing, while his German soldier buddy is dressed in desert camouflage. The Canadian officer is explaining that they chose to stand out because they had--ta-da! ta-da!--come as peace keepers. (Can you believe this?) The voice-over from the CBC reporter is rising in awe at such a sentiment. One hopes that if these brave men sustain a loss, it will be Lt. Politically Correct. God, I am begining to think that the Canadian army has its sub-corp of Stalinesque Political Minders. With CBC as their mouthpiece, it goes without saying.
