Canada definitely only involves itself in conflicts that it believes in which is admirable. But with all do respect,Canada does not have the military resources to be involved in more than one conflict. I have read several books on how the government (both Liberal & Conservative) have made the Canadian military a joke. In fact after 9/11, Canada wanted to join the Afghanistan invasion with the U.S. in October '01. They didn't get there until April '02 because they didn't have the cargo planes to get there and had to wait until U.S. planes were available. It is a shame what the Canadian governments have done to what was once the 4th largest army in the world and a well respected one that fought bravely in WWI and WWII. I love Canada and I want to live there one day but I wish the government up there will wake up and smell the coffee and start defending their sovereignty. They have depended far too long on the U.S. for defense of their shores. Maybe I will get a smack in the back of the head from my wife for saying that, but you can be sure my Father-in-law would agree with me.
