about

I was lying on a beach in Victoria when a military fighter jet flew low over the shore line. The noise was deafening. The planes were flying in a part of a 'farewell' ceremony/celebration that was sending some young Canadian's to Afghanistan to fight in a dubious war. It struck me as funny (and terrifying) that a machine designed to kill people was being used to celebrate anything at all. It struck me as less funny that we were celebrating. 158 Canadian soldiers died in that war. 119 were of Junior Ranks. Zero were Generals. Civilian death estimates hover around 31 thousand. Adam Iredale-Gray again joins us on fiddle.
