Two Canadians hurt during outpost attack in Afghanistan
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Two Canadian soldiers were hurt, one of them seriously, when Taliban insurgents attacked an outpost west of Kandahar City on Saturday with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades.

One of the soldiers has been released from hospital, and the other is in stable condition but will be transferred to a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany.

"I just came from speaking with him. The soldier is in very good spirits," said Colonel Jamie Cade, deputy commander of Canada's mission in Kandahar. "He's going to be OK."

1. Harper and Australian PM deliver identical 2003 Iraq speeches
In 2003, Stephen Harper and Australian Prime Minister John Howard deliver largely identical speeches urging their nations to join George W. Bush's Coalition of the Willing to go to war with Iraq.

This amazing nearly word for word plagiarism by Harper of Howard's speech demonstrates the high level of integration amongst the neo-cons in Canada, Australia, the UK and the US in presenting a united front in their desire to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.

These most recent Canadian soldier injuries, and previously injuries and tragic deaths, need to be viewed in the context of this high level collusion.

More importantly, in respect of Canada's election campaigns, Canadians need to understand the tight integration of a foreign government's ability to directly influence Canadian politics via Stephen Harper.

It is no secret that Australian and American right and neo-con political operatives were directly helping Harper to form his policies, political strategy including the divide and conquer, media restrictions, which were so effective in US and Australian politics, and unfortunately also appear to be working in Canada.

However, Canadians really need to see Harper for what he is ... a piece of a larger foreign political machine. This video demonstrates this fact with amazing clarity. Harper is literally speaking word for word the script used in Australia and the US.
