Canaduh rant snipped

Canada repeatedly does honourable things for
honourable
motives, but instead of being thanked for it, it remains something of a
figure of fun.

Let me be the first to thank your troops for doing the right honorable
thing Marty...Opps guess I'm not first

U.S. Congress votes unanimously to thank Canada for extending Afghan
mission

WASHINGTON (CP) - The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a
resolution commending Canada for its commitment to Afghanistan.

Indiana Republican Dan Burton introduced the resolution saying he
wanted U.S. legislators to recognize Canada's vote last month to
extend the Afghan mission by two years into 2009.

The resolution passed by a vote of 409 to 0.

Burton says Canada's decision signals its commitment to the global war
on terror and its friendship with the United States.

Burton says the vote is a small token of appreciation to Canada, which
he says is facing its own growing threat of terrorists inspired by al-
Qaida.
