Canada's Afghan mission could cost up to $18.1B, yes the price of freedom and Democracy is High, but what is the alternative. A people destroyed by the cowardly taliban infringing their disgusting beliefs on women and children.
An encouraging Quote from PM Harper..... When we have men and women in uniform, diplomats and development workers who are putting their lives on the line, the government will spend what is necessary to make sure they are safe and successful.Prime Minister Stephen Harper
The military mission in Afghanistan could cost a total of $18.1 billion or $1,500 per Canadian household by 2011, according to a government report that also criticized how financial records are being kept.
Canada has spent $7.7 billion to $10.5 billion on costs related to its mission in the past six years, and may spend $13.9 billion to $18.1 billion by the end of the 2010-11 budget year, according to The Fiscal Impact of the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan tabled by parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page on Thursday.
Whatever the cost I feel that the ends will justify the means.
