68 Canadians have died in the Iraq-Afghanistan War
Canadian soldier killed in southern Afghanistan near Kandahar

Published Sunday August 19th, 2007
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) - Another Canadian soldier has been killed in southern Afghanistan - the 67th since the military mission began in 2002.
The 23-year-old member of the Royal 22nd Regiment - the Van Doos - was killed early today when when his LAV light armoured vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb at 1:40 a.m. local time.
The solider and his unit were on convoy escort duty when the bomb detonated west of Kandahar city, five kilometres east of the volatile village of Masum Ghar...

Note:

Army Sgt. Michael T. Seeley, 27, of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, died Oct. 30, 2006 in Baghdad from injuries suffered when a roadside bomb detonated near his vehicle. Seeley was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.

A condition of the First United States Treaty with a foreign power has been met again. The United States of America signed their first reaty on 19 July 1776. It is known as the Watertown Treaty with the Mi'Kmaq Indians of Eastern Canada. Mi'kmaq Indian blood has been shed in almost every war or conflict the US has fought including this middle east War.

UPDATED per http://icasualties.org/oif/ETHNICITY.aspx.

This would bring the North American Indian total to 36 Deaths in support of this middle east war.
Thus rather than 54 Canadians dying, we should raise the count to fifty-five (55). Canadian Indians acquired their Canadian Citizenship as a whole in 1962. Prior to that date, they were not considered Citizens of Canada.
