Just re-read the article ... something I skimmed over on my initial read caught my eye ... the bit about no one showing up to welcome the Grenadier Guards home! I can understand that many are opposed to the troops being in Afghanistan and Iraq, but not to show up when the troops come home! Wouldn't it be more appropriate to take it out on the govt.? Grab hold of your MPs and let them know you are p***ed off at govt. foreign policy. But to snub the returning troops is on a par with what the gas station attendant did. When the Van Doos left their Quebec base for Afghanistan thousands of Quebecers turned out to see them off and wish them luck. And this in a Province where support for Canada's presence in Afghanistan is lower than anywhere else in the country ... barely in the double digits ... and falling all the time.
