Canada's mission in Afghanistan and the former U.S. president Carter message to the Canadian
So the question now is, has the former U.S. president Carter message and the recent report from the NATO asking for more troops and military equipments from its members to the mission, would change the mind of Canadian politicians and citizens?
Since the liberation of Afghanistan in 2002 Canada has lost seventy-one soldiers and one diplomat in its mission. Canada continues to carry a heavy burden of the mission in maintaining peace and defeating the terrorist groups in southern Afghanistan. The recent NATO reports to the members for increase in troops and military equipments is a good news for Canada. Canada has always urged the NATO members to contribute more to the mission because it is not just important to liberation and maintaining peace in Afghanistan but for the global peace. This terrorist organization have not only aimed in attacking Afghanistan, Their aim is everyone form September 11, to Britain, Iraq, Spain and the recent arrest in Toronto that were 17 people with explosions. This terrorist groups’ goal and aim always has been the west and western liberal democracy. I believe the mission is important and Canada’s commitment to the mission is highly valued for the global peace and war on terrorism.
Canada is making changes in the global peace, war against terrorists, and humanitarian aids which is noble and honour for the Canadian army forces and Canadian citizens. PM Harper believe the Canada still need to contribute to Afghan in term of army training, police so that the Afghan government can defend its own sovereignty, this will not be completed by February 2009, but this objective should be achievable by 2011. I believe Canadian citizens and politicians should support the mission because the change and progress Canada making in the lives of Afghan citizens is very noble and it is in the interest of all of us which pave a better future for all. I recently heard about a twelve year old B.C girl who is trying to help Afghan girl through a charity organization she has established which is called “little girl helping little girl.” This is very thoughtful and noble for all human nature and it shows that we are all human being with no differences but we are only divided by boundaries and culture.

Summary of the Saskatchewan election called for 2007
Saskatchewan election called for Nov. 7
This up coming election in Saskatchewan going to be a battle mostly between the NDP and Saskatchewan party since they both hold the majority seats in the legislature. Each party has certain priority to focus on and this priority is going to be top issues in their campaign and debates. NDP has already made announcement in number of areas such as education, health care, drug plan and social programs, where the Sask party also made his own plan in term of these issues and Liberal party as well.
Brad Wall main goal mainly is going to aim at the 16 years of NDP government, and focusing on change in the Province. Mr. Wall stated after Mr. Calvert announced the election "16 years of NDP government, it's time for a change." Change in the province’s economic and other issues is going to be the main goal of Sask-party. This is going to have a very huge impact on the opinion and decision of Saskatchewanian. I think Saskatchewan going to have a higher turn out voters than previous years because of the long NDP rule in the province. Change is becoming a top priority for many Saskatchewanian and mostly for the youths. NDP also has its way to challenge the Sask-party’s legacy in term of social programs, family value and importantly seniors. NDP as usual going to take the same step scaring the Saskatchewanian of electing a Conservatives government and their policies. I believe NDP has lesser chance of forming government because of their previous rule and governing.

Summary of Harper warns opposition over support for throne speech
Harper warns opposition over support for throne speech
I do not agree with the PM speech, He should know Canadian are not scared of going to another election it is him who is concerned about his position and role in politics. Canadian wants cooperation among the parties and get something done and have some result in the parliament not political games or threat of an election. To me PM Harper upcoming speech from the throne is not about the Canadian needs it is about his political agendas and role, and he is not willing to cooperate with the oppositions and address the Canadian needs.
