Canadian Missing in Afghanistan

A Canadian citizen is missing in Afghanistan after travelling to the country as a tourist. The department made the statement Sunday after a news release claimed a Canadian spy had been captured. Canadian officials are working with Afghan authorities to assist the family in securing a safe release.  

The Canadian government says it strongly advises against all travel to Afghanistan. The Canadian military says no one is missing from its ranks.


Biffy Clyro + Moving Mountains @ La Sala Rossa

It was a mighty cold evening on February 15th, so let’s just say that I was shocked beyond belief when I entered La Sala Rossa to see Biffy Clyro.  Why, you ask? Well it was weird seeing two guys sporting nothing from the waist up.  Then I remembered: ah yes, Biffy Clyro almost always come on stage topless for almost every show.  However, unlike Biffy Clyro, these guys should have covered it up – eeeesshhh.

Flight leaves Libya without Canadian Passengers

An airplane that was intended to take Canadians out of Libya Friday reportedly left without any passenger. A Canadian Government official says that no Canadians were at the airport at the time. The aircraft could not stay. 

It is unclear why there were no Canadians at the airport. As many as two-hundred Canadians have left Libya on flights so far. But the Canadian Government has struggled to get its citizens out. A previous flight had to be cancelled due to security reasons.
