I’ll try to keep them interesting.

Canadian troops in Afghanistan can expect a little extra holiday cheer under the Christmas tree this season.

Or rather, holiday beer. Employees at Steam Whistle Brewery have decided to donate one week’s worth of staff beer rations to soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. The company has vowed to match those donations.

While alcohol is not readily available in the Muslim country, troops are allowed to have liquor on the base three times during the year, including Christmas.

And more beer…

Just so you don’t think that Canadians are preoccupied with beer, the #1 Canadian chain of coffee shops, Tim Hortons is also operating in Kandahar.
