Summary

Despite claiming the lives of 158 Canadian soldiers and injuring thousands, the war in Afghanistan is still not formally recognized as a war by the Canadian government. Power & Politics speaks to CBC's senior defence reporter Murray Brewster about new legislation that could change that, as well as Anthony Wilson-Smith, president and CEO of Historica Canada, about how Afghanistan features in the latest Heritage Minutes.
