How about that? We actually have a PM who stands behind our troops, even though the decision to send them was the previous government's. I know many people on that mission, so it's nice to see the PM supporting our people.

No Canadian leader could justly be accused of not supporting the troops. The Conservatives haven't yet descended into "crticize policy, and you critizice the troops" yet, but it could easily happen, which won't be good for their support nationwide. They probably should do what the opposition asks and allow some sort of debate in the House of Commons about the extent and nature of Canada's role in Afghanistan. If they do well in it without restoring to jingoism, they could even benefit from it.
