An article from a Canadian news site:

CANOE -- CNEWS - Canada: Fox News mocks Canadian military

The original video:



I thought it was pretty disrespectful considering that 116 Canadian soldiers have died in a war that has very little, if anything, to do with Canada. These soldiers are there to help the United States, I never thought they should be there in the first place and, to me, this is just one more reason to withdraw from Afghanistan for good.

Another thing that pissed me off was them saying that Canada relies on the U.S. military for protection, from who? Last time I checked Canada wasn't going around the world seeing how many countries we can piss off. If anything, our relationship with the united states is going to hurt us, not help. Also for anyone who doesn't realize this, Canada has a Police service AND the RCMP (who function just like regular law enforcement, and only wear the traditional uniforms for special occasions and demonstrations).

He did apologize, basically saying that what they said on the show was misunderstood, I'm not exactly sure how it was meant it but I can't think of any way those comments could be taken that wouldn't piss me off. Even if it was supposed to be a joke, I still find it quite distasteful.

I found an article that has his "apology", you can read it here:Fox News mocks Canadian military, then apologizes - ADD YOUR COMMENTS - The North Bay Nugget - Ontario, CA
