2. Canada doing more than ‘fair share' in Afghanistan, says MacKay

Canada doing more than ‘fair share' in Afghanistan, says MacKay

OTTAWA — More military help is needed in Afghanistan, says Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay, but it's time for Canada's NATO allies to “step up” rather than for Canada to contribute more.

Published reports over the weekend suggest the Canadian Forces are set to ship as many as 20 Leopard tanks to Afghanistan — along with up to 300 military personnel to support them — to assist the combat troops and provincial reconstruction teams.

A bit ambiguous but probably a lead into Steve's speech tomorrow.
