CANADIANS UNAWARE OF THE GOOD NEWS IN AFGHANISTAN
DAMAN DISTRICT, AFGHANISTAN - The Afghan people know what this combat mission has cost Canada -- and especially the families of our fallen troops -- assures Kandahar's provincial governor.
In an exclusive interview with QMI Agency, Dr. Toryalai Wisa, a Afghan-Canadian academic who oversees the area our combat soldiers will soon be pulling out of, says the level of sacrifice is understood.
Wisa recalls conversations he's had with family members of dead Canadian soldiers: "My heart is still with them -- I express my very deep, deep appreciation from the bottom of my heart.
"(Canadians) did not spend only the taxpayers money here...they have sacrificed their youth here."
The governor added: "We shall never forget that. That will be part of Kandahar history."
But Wisa complains that while the Afghan people herald the toil of Canadians, the message seems lost before it reaches North America.
