Peace Keeping Mission:
Canadian military history essentially revolves around fighting or preparing to fight. Peacekeeping is largely a footnote. That's why Professor Granatstein had the third floor of the Canadian War Museum ripped out. Had the Warsaw Pact's militaries made a dash through the Fulda Gap, it's unlikely that peacekeeping would have been an effective counter-strategy.
Yet as the article notes the myth of Canadians as peacekeepers, though somewhat diminished by the Afghanistan campaign, remains in the national psyche. Its origins lie in the twining of those two great forces of modern Canada: Leftist utopianism and our national inferiority complex relative the Americans.
