Words spoken in American programs are quite a stir in Canada.

During the show “Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld” of the March 17 broadcast on Fox News, the host and his guests suggest that Canadian soldiers want to take a vacation from the war in Afghanistan to do yoga, painting landscapes and stroll on the beach bermudas. The convener said that this would be the perfect time to invade a country “ridiculous” that has no army. They then laughed about a Canadian general who raised the possibility of giving a year’s break with the Canadian military after the end of the Afghan mission in 2011.

But the Canadian government does not laugh in this folder. The press of Peter MacKay, Minister of Defense of Canada, said that these comments are hateful and hurtful, while adding that they show an ignorance of the real situation. He added that the network must apologize.

Representatives of opposition parties who have had to intervene, or the Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe, the New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton and the member for Bourassa of the Liberal Party of Canada, Denis Coderre, have denounced such remarks .

In mid-afternoon, the network Fox News has issued a press release where apologize questions were presented.

116 Canadian soldiers have fallen since the beginning of the mission in Afghanistan since 2002. The remains of four victims died at the end of last week, are also arriving in Canada on Monday.
