Harper pledging $110 million in 2015 and beyond -- rather than soldiers training Afghanis -- is more like guilty conscience money than a lifeline for a secure future. So much has already been invested in Afghanistan during the past decade that the country cannot return into the primitive, isolated state it once was.

With just 10 sitting days left before the long parliamentary summer break begins, it's time for the opposition parties to realize they have lost this debate and Canadians have really started to tune out. It is time for the opposition to look ahead to the fall session. | | | Peter Worthington: Harper Closes Eyes on Russian Spies
A junior officer in Naval Intelligence was arrested last January for turning over incredible amounts of secret information to the Russians which rivals the volume of data the U.S. lost to WikiLeaks.
