AFGHANISTAN: Top Canadian News Story Of The Year.
Canadian Press and Broadcast News have chosen the War in Afghanistan as the Canadian News Story of the Year.
"A gritty little war half a world away was the overwhelming choice as the top Canadian news story of the year chosen by Canadian Press and Broadcast News.
The war in Afghanistan started in 2001 and steadily faded from the world's headlines as the focus shifted to Iraq, but five years later Canada's small part in the fight to calm the country hit home with bloody clarity."
