How many Canadians went to Iraq?

Canadians understood the war on terrorism and committed to that war early on ... Iraq came later & there was little enthusiasm in Canada to what was considered Bush's war. Bottom line, what the f*** difference does it make? Is Canada's commitment to the war on terrorism diminished in your pea brain because they chose to take a pass on Iraq?

See my post #32. FYI: Iraq was/is part of the WOT. Canada's pitiful defense forces couldn't have mustered enough people to participate in both operations. The UK and Australia did along with Spain and a number of others.

Canada has not had as much skin in the game as others, especially the US. Canada didn't participate in Vietnam either. Canada's defense forces have dwindled down to next to nothing. They have relied on the US to defend them while just paying 1.1% of GDP on defense.

There is growing concern about Canada's immigration and asylum policies and the risk they pose to our national security. Immigration Policy and the Terrorist Threat in Canada and the United States

I suggest you read the report, pea brain. Canada needs to be more committed in the WOT and gets its act together.
