Canadian shot dead while storming Gadhafi compound

His choice.

Bury him in Libya please.

Some idiots claimed he went to fight for his country, yet the article states he was born in Canada. What he did was volunteer to fight for a country that was not his own, sounds faintly mercenary to me.

He was born in Edmonton, but all of his family (maybe except for his parents) are in Libya. So YES, he went home. Being born in Canada out of first generation immigrants doesn't make you any less Libyan.

I think more 'mosque' and less 'merc'..

Wait a minutes... he went to the land of his ancestors, where his family is still living, to help fight what he (and our own government) considers a corrupt regime.

Sounds kinda like what Canadians did in both world wars.

I'll sincerely hope that was a no-coffee, or a something else moment......

EXACTLY
He fought the tyrant away that made his parents leave their country.

For some people, it just is never good enough.

I, for 1, applaud this guy, and I am sorry he did not survive.

I know, I'm living on the edge.

Is it ever good enough for you guys??
His parents left THEIR country, made a baby 25 years ago, and HE is back fighting the tyrant that made his parent leave the country.

YOU left Canada. Are you any less Canadian? Are your children any less Canadian? WHY should this guy be any less Libyan?

I doubt much would be said if this guy wasn't a Muslim.

Especially coming from Quebec.

Exactly what I was thinking...

You could also make the same argument using examples of Canadians in the Crimean War (I know, a loooooong fucking time ago), as well as in the Spanish Civil War. Both of which we erected monuments for.
