On Monday, President Barack Obama began to inform foreign leaders with a personal phone call about his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan and wanting their help, Canada was not one of them. Obama had many discussions with Prime Minster Stephen Harper and understood Harper had hopes to pull Canadian troops out of the war. Obama had spent time to recognize all the hard work Canada troops have done and how many Canadian troops had lost their lives and decided to ask upon others allies to help fight this war, respecting Harper’s wishes. So Canadian citizens feel this is a good thing, but some government parties are lashing out at Harper feeling that he is to blame for the Canadian troops being left out. In the end, some parties in Canada are disappointed with Obama’s decision to leave Canada out of the new troops attending the war in Afghanistan.
