A Canadian soldier was killed late Friday by a roadside bomb explosion
in southern Afghanistan during a night patrol in Panjwaii district
near Kandahar city, military officials say.
Cpl. James Hayward Arnal was struck while he and other soldiers were
on foot patrol in the area.
Another Canadian soldier was injured in the blast but was said to be
in good condition and was expected to return to duty.
Canada's top soldier in Afghanistan lauded Arnal as a fearless fighter
who had left a lucrative career in information technology to join the
army.
"Clearly, he was a dedicated soldier with a very promising career
ahead of him," said Brig.-Gen. Denis Thompson, Canada's commander in
Afghanistan.
Arnal was a member of the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, stationed at Canadian Forces Base Shilo in Manitoba.
He was the 88th Canadian soldier to die in the Afghan mission and the
second killed in combat since the beginning of June.
He was on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan and had expressed
interest in returning for a third tour in 2009.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Arnal will be remembered for his
dedication and bravery.
In a statement, Harper called Arnal "an outstanding Canadian," and
said his loss will be mourned.
Harper also said while the mission is "challenging," Canada remains
resolved to helping the people of Afghanistan.

Yep, the Afghan invasion fleet is circling just over the horizon
waiting for the Resistance in Afghanistan to defeat HARPER'S ARMY OF
OCCUPATION then they will sweep ashore annihilating everyone in Canada
who isn't Muslim.
I can barely sleep at night knowing this.

And there were four people shot and murdered in the GTA (Toronto) last
night. Which is safer, Afghanistan or Toronto?
Oops, sorry. I forgot that crime and murder is going down in North
America. And Toronto is the safest big city in Canada.

dont worry- islam isnt out to conquer us....but the Afghanis WILL
continue to fight the oil pipeline that US interests had in mind to
build in Kandahar Province (where Canadian Forces are strongest) since
February 2001 (that's right- this was an issue 7 months BEFORE 9/11,
around the SAME TIME as Bush's signing into the Presidency!....sources
such as the Onion had at the time predicted Bush would wage war in the
Gulf within a year), and scheduled to go ahead within the next two years.
Canada will have no choice but to prevent "terrorist" (read National
insurgents who dont want their land raped of resources) attacks along
the pipeline while construction progresses, if our forces are still there.
