Clinton urges Canada to hold the line in Afghanistan

VICTORIA — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is urging Canada to stay the course on Afghanistan and continue providing aid and military muscle to defeat the Taliban. “I promised myself that as long as the situation in Afghanistan persists, I would never come to Canada without thanking you for your participation through NATO in the effort to save a genuine moderate, pro-western democracy,” he said. “I am grateful.” Canada is “doing a good thing,” Mr. Clinton said.
