| Canadah to ’flex muscles’ in north |
| 2004-03-29 |
| EFL Canada is sending one of its largest warships, a squadron of helicopters and 200 ground troops to the high Arctic this summer in an exercise designed to show the flag -- and a Shivers being transmitted up spine... "This is a first," Colonel Norris Pettis, commander of the Canadian Forces northern area, said yesterday. "This is the first time we’ll have a joint naval, air and land force operating this far north. And it’s sending a message that this land is important to us ... that we can put troops, and aircraft and ships, on the ground to respond to whatever we might be called upon to deal with. Since when does hockey require combined force? "It’s putting a military presence up here ... flexing our muscles." Oh my. |
