Canada to send helicopters, troops to Mali: government source
David Ljunggren

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will send helicopters and support troops, including medical staff, to join a United Nations peace-keeping mission in Mali later this year, a senior Canadian government source said late on Friday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government will announce on Monday that Canada plans to send troops and aircraft to Mali for up to 12 months, said the official, who declined to provide further details.

All the way to Timbuktu to get some warm weather?


Seriously, though, good for them.

Maybe as the German troops they're replacing return home, we can pull out the equivalent (a US soldier or two) to head back to the states from Germany.    :smokin:

Will Trudeau actually allow the troops to carry guns?

Eh... Canada -has- helicopters and troops?
After they send a few to Mali, how many will be left?
