OTTAWA – With the return of the last Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, Harper declared an economic victory now that the country’s opium economy has fully recovered.
“Canada would like to recognize the contributions of our brave troops” announced the Prime Minister with a large “Mission Accomplished” banner posted on the podium. “Thanks to the efforts of this government along with our NATO allies, Afghanistan’s most sustainable form of agriculture is stronger than ever. This is proof that foreign direct intervention works.”
Harper highlighted the $18.5 billion investment in Canada’s Afghanistan Economic Action Plan. This plan made business easier for opium farmers, dealers and warlords by avoiding any legal enforcement of illicit substances, intensifying combat with hostile competitors and constructing roads to Pakistan and Iran for better narcotics trade.
“Canadians can be grateful now that Afghanistan is, once again, a major player in the international drug trade” Harper added before shaking hands with members of the public.
