On May 9th, the men and woman involved in the military mission to Afghanistan will be honoured in Ottawa.
Retired
General Rick Hillier tells us the legacy is that Canada was one
of the lead nations trying to bring security and stability to a nation
that was devastated.
He thinks Canada's lead role in the mission
at incredible expense led us to the forefront on nations and how we
shape the international community in which we live.
Hillier
doesn't fear Afghanistan returning to its past ways when the
multi-national force leaves adding Afghans are a hearty determined
people who have the country they want now.

Tax time isn't everyone's favourite time of year....but it's simply a fact of life.
The
Canada Revenue Agency reminding taxpayers you have until midnight on
Monday to file, 5 days later than the original deadline. If you or your
spouse is self-employed, it's June 16. Any balance that you owe needs to
be paid by May 5.
If you owe money and don't file on time,
you'll get charged 5% of the 2013 balance owing....that can grow if you
have multiple years outstanding.
Even if you can't pay all your balance owing right away, you should still file your return on time.
