There is a report on CBC this morning of another Canadian wounded in a firefight north of Kandahar. No details yet and nothing on line.

It's been on CTV Newsnet on the TV this morning. It was an ambush; the ambush was broken with one BG KIA, but this Canadian was wounded in the head. He was flown to Khandahar airport and is in surgery as we speak. Hopefully it's not serious.

Just an aside... ironic as hell, isn't it, that for all the resentment a lot of our people have for Americans, their flight crews are saving Canadian lives almost daily. At least our soldiers know what the score is... I just wish some of the slavering, anti-American idiots here would "get it".
