Talk:Canada and the Iraq War

message: Information in this article is untrue! Canada has sent JTF2, and a small number of other troops to Iraq. Im in the process of re-writing this article now ~~user:samr
:As far as I know, JTF2 was only in Iraq as part of the CPT hostage rescue operation. See also Multinational_force_in_Iraq#Fewer_than_100_soldiers. heqs 18:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You'll have to be more specific than that. That may be too vague to be verifiable. heqs 02:52, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well even if JTF-2 were sent, its black-ops stuff that cant be confirmed, so Canada still officially stayed out of the Iraq War.
This sentence: "In November 2003, the United States officially invited Canada to join the coalition, along with other allies." should read Nob\vember 2002, yes?
Another fact which is wrong is the reference to the Harper government regarding WMDs near the beginning.  The Liberals under Chretien was the government at the time.  Harper was opposition.  He spoke in favor of war and cited Iraq's WMDs as justification in the well known plagarized speech.

thread_title:  Rewritten 

message: The article reads that Parrish and other politicians started slandering the United States government.  Carolyn Parrish was outspoken on the issue, but I don't see, nor do I remember anything that constitutes slander.  This should be removed I think or at least corrected. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.172.249 (talk) 19:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Slander? 

message: Probably should include the very real "who care's if Canada helps us" attitude that many (probably most) American Citizens take towards Canadian military assistance. I am a bit busy with another article, but, I may get to it. Travis Cleveland (talk) 03:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: You misunderstand. Many Americans wouldn't care if Canada helped because we have so little military power. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 14:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you will excusez mon français s'il vous plaît, but that is just plain retarded.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.199.24 (talk) 15:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As I recall Bush was pissed that Canada didn't join because our participation would have made the invasion seem more legitimate. Why is Harper mentioned in this section? At the time he was the leader of the Alliance party and outspoken in his parties objection that Canada would not commit to Iraq, he had nothing to do with the decision.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.81.160 (talk) 20:03, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is deeply flawed, starting with bad sourcing (globalresearch.ca is a Russian government propaganda front), sloppy information errors (e.g. errors in months and years of events), and is clearly written with a deep POV bias. It clearly attempts to write an alternate version of history in which the Canadian government actually secretly joined the coalition, while presenting no evidence of this, ignoring basic definitions of international law and generally making a mess of reality. It is not possible to edit this into a better state - it should be deleted and someone competent and not attempting to impose their personal views should start afresh.MonsieurVite 00:38, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
