______________________ FACT:
The Taliban believe that our resolve is weak. They think with enough
body count, they can push Canada out of Afghanistan. The Taliban has
threatened Canadian's with suicide attacks and road side bombs.
Read the full story.
Canada is united to fight this kind of terrorism and will not subside
our resolution to threats. Our resolve will grow stronger. We
Canadian citizens must unite in this resolve. Let these right wing terrorist
groups know we are not going to accept living in fear, become a western
target or hide from commitment.
Canada is assembling more troops to
be deployed in Afghanistan to beef up it's presence and take a more
offensive stance. Let us Canadians show our support through support
groups such as this one.
