Just got posted on the CTV site.
 
RIP.  Condolances to friends and family of the soldier.
 
My deepest condolences to the family and to the comrades of this soldier. May he Rest In Peace.  :cdn:
 
CTV has identified him - Trooper Michael Yuki Hayakaze, of the LDSH(RC).  RIP Tpr.
 
Once again, the MSM has identified one of our fallen, DESPITE no official identification, and in fact going agaisn't the wishes of the family.

The next of kin have been advised but at the request of the family, the name of the soldier is being withheld.

Whoever chose to identify him, imho, can burn in hell.

Regardless, RIP, Soldier.
 
Another sad day.

WRT the media leaking this one... Shame on them, no respect, its just sensationalism at its worst.

In many ways the media is our real enemy

Condolences to the family of the fallen soldier & his friends.

Before you get all crazy on us MSM types ...  DND has now released the name and a photo of the soldier:

As for the time discrepancy, DND likely identified the individual to a CP reporter in Kandahar and we, like most other news organizations, carried the CP story filed from the field.


 
Folks,
David Akin is reading this thread as I type. Please lets keep the media's part in this for another day at least out of respect for the family.

Thank you,
Bruce


EDIT: Just a second too slow. Thanks David.

My above still stands folks, lets just have a toast to our fallen instead this evening.
 
Tpr Hayakaze:
Thank you for your sacrifice and your fine efforts to help the people of Afghanistan and Canada.  My prayers go out to you, your comrades, and your family.
 
RIP Trooper,
                  another member of the armoured corps who as pay the highest price for us all, thank you to you and your family
