It is generally believed that Canada will end it's military involvement in Afghanistan in 2011. This was reported by the Harper administration.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has unveiled a new motion with a hard end date of 2011 for Canada's military mission in Afghanistan, a move aimed
at bridging the gap between the Conservatives and Liberals.
It is now apparent that Canada will not leave Afghanistan in 2011, and may be preparing for a decade long occupation. A source has informed me that
the DND has contracted for $1 billion of infantry small arms. Delivery will commence in 2011 and continue until at least 2023. This contract is not
public knowledge so I cannot name my source or the company but I'm sure weapons experts can figure out the manufacturer of the weapon.

Here is a recent news item that appears to be corroborate my source:
www.canada.com...
OTTAWA - Conservative and Liberal senators cast doubt Wednesday that Canada will be able to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by 2011 as
planned.
Kenny said that if Canadians could be shown measurable progress they would be more willing to allow their troops to stay longer in Afghanistan.
Earlier this week, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said he expected western troops will be needed in his country for another 10 years.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they show us as 'measurable progress.' And whether or not it will be enough to win over Canadians to
an extension of the mission. Of course, we'd better keep our 'propoganda detectors' on high alert. I don't really trust governments to tell us
the truth about what's going on over there.
It certainly looks like the secret plans have already been drawn up. When they are revealed to the general public, I can't say.
