I'll grant that USA imperialism has gone on for too long. But just look up those previously posted polls or see Angus-Reid for more proof.
Canadians kicking Taliban A$$

The Talib is a Pakistani movement. They indoctrinated Afghan refugees into their cause in Pakistani madrassas. True, the Talibs in Afghanistan are mostly Afghans, but they're still the spawn of the Pak Talibs (primarily Jamiat-ul-ulema-e-Islam).
Before the Taliban invasion, Afghanistan was a very moderate Islamic country. The Taliban follow the strictest interpretation of Islam (Deabandi, Wahabbi, Hanbali). Before the Taliban invasion, Afganistan was primarily Hanafi, the most tolerant school of Islam.

It's not really correct to say the Mujahideen became the Taliban after the ouster of the Soviets. The Mujahideen were a mosaic of warlord armies, not a cohesive organization. The Talibs didn't come on scene until the chaos in the wake of the Soviet withdrawal gave them an opportunity to make their move.
True that the Mujahideen and Talibs for the most part had no animosity toward each other.
Interestingly, Karzai was originally a Talib, but left the movement because he didn't like their harsh way.
Why would any Canadian be proud of this video? (it may not even be real)
Is it a proud moent whne one of "ours" kills a fellow human being ("theirs")? Hardly a proud moment. It's actually a sad moment. But hey... I guess killing for (hmmm... why are we there?) revenge (?) doesn't really make me a proud Canadian.
