Imagine if the CBC picked up on even 10% of the good things that are happening in Afghanistan.

I think the CBC focuses on Kandahar and environs because that's where all the Canadian forces are, doing the most dangerous grunt work. Other countries' NATO deployments are in places where little conflict remains and where these great developmental gains are being achieved. CBC could do more stories about all the Canadian aid agencies making contributions elsewhere around the country, that would be nice. But they do report on good and bad occurrences involving Canadian forces, although when they report 20 Taliban officials were killed in a raid on a weapons cache it doesn't make the same kind of impact as when Canadian forces are killed by a roadside bomb.
