Gen. Rick Hillier, the big boss of the Canadian soldiers does his bit for his troops including taking comedians to entertain the troops. What do the Brits get, politicians - now there's a comedy team for you.
One joke they will not be cracking is their pensions. Their pensions! Politicians pensions.
Secure. Overpriced. Inflation proof. Unearned etcetc.
KANDAHAR -- Gen. Rick Hillier, Canada's chief of the defence staff, is in Afghanistan again to visit the troops.
Hillier flew into Kandahar Airfield yesterday on a flight with other soldiers. He was greeted upon his arrival by the top Canadian commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Guy Laroche.
During his stay, Hillier is expected to see how new Canadian Forces equipment is being used to counter land mines and improvised explosive devices -- weapons that pose a key threat to the soldiers and their armoured vehicles.
And last December, Hillier brought along comedian Rick Mercer to spend Christmas with the troops in Afghanistan.
