In France, at a fairly large conference, Steven Harper was recently
asked by a French cabinet minister if Canadian involvement in
Afghanistan was just an example of Canadian Empire building.

 He answered by saying, 'Over  the years, Canada has sent many of its
fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond
our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return
is enough to bury those that did not return.'

 You could have heard a pin drop.
