expect more canadian fatalities in afghanistan

the canadian public should prepare itself for more of our soldiers not returning home from afghanistan, not because of increased al qaeda or taliban attacks but because the canadian forces may be sending the sea king helicopters to help transport troops and equipment. soldiers that are about to deploy to afghanistan were trained last month on the aging and jinxed helicopters. apparently our army is short handed when it comes to helicopter support and both the U.S. military and Boeing have refused to lease Canada the necessary equipment. currently Canada relies on the Netherlands, Britain, and the U.S. for use of their helicopters. the five sea kings that canadian soldiers have been training on have been stripped of their anti submarine equipment and been replaced with troop seats, army radios, and GPS systems(something you'd think a helicopter should have already).
