The Cost of the Afghanistan War
Buckdog: Think Tank Already Challenging Ottawa Over Cost Of Afghanistan War
So ... if the Harper Government and the Liberal administration before it had listened to Layton and the New Democrats, this outrageous expenditure of public funds would not have been so extreme and a portion of it could have perhaps been used to actually do something constructive in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, almost 100 Canadian soldiers are dead, and you are paying a fortune for Harper to play 'Bush's lapdog' in international affairs!!
A bloody shame!
NOTE: Military apologists, Conservatives and Right Wing Liberals will likely contest the Rideau Institute's numbers saying that they include salaries and benefits for the troops. What refutes their argument is the increase in the actual size of the Canadian Armed Forces since Harper took power.

Women's voices get higher in pitch when most fertile
Women's voices get higher in pitch at most fertile point of monthly cycle, say researchers | Mail Online
Unlike many mammals, there are no obvious outward signs when women are fertile. Evolutionary biologists argue that women evolved "hidden ovulation" in prehistoric times as a way of tricking men into staying around for much longer.
