Total secrecy has been keeping this under wrap by our beloved government.
Canada is operating a secret, clandestine base in UAE

Camp Mirage, the Canadian Forces forward logistics base in the Persian Gulf, is real.
Only the notion that it can be kept under wraps, cherished in some Ottawa quarters, is an illusion. "I'll admit, we haven't done a very good job of keeping this secret," said a Defence Department official.''
But he insisted that because of the base's classified status, he could not discuss anything about the location or the nature of Canada's arrangement with the UAE. Officially, Camp Mirage is "somewhere in the Gulf region" and the location is "top secret" because Canada's hosts have been assured it will not be disclosed. "We do not say where we are out of respect for the host nation," is the official line delivered by several Canadian Forces spokesmen. "We do not talk about the location of Camp Mirage." The policy supposedly applies to senior officers as well as junior ranks.But that did not stop a senior general from joking publicly about the location in a speech in Washington last year. Junior ranks caught with photographs identifying the location have been summarily shipped home from Camp Mirage.

The base is located some 25mi south-west of Dubai and can bee seen on Google Satellite

Any Canadian who thinks our government is any less capable of lying to the people than is the American administration is living in a fantasy.

War in Afghanistan.....

A training lesson for Canadian administration in how to build a system of dis-information and lies just like America...

Support for the action in Afghanistan....a willingness to close your eyes and gulp down whatever the hell our scumbag politicians feed us...

Keep it under wraps?

It was in the Trenton Shoppers Market free newspaper when they first started staffing it, with pictures and lists of who all is being stationed there.

Its officially secret, but everyone knows about it. Its literally in the frickin paper (and a free one too)

Secret? Clandestine? Canada? Well, if it's true, it would be surprising. How could we keep it a secret? Are our soldiers wearing American GI uniforms again?
