"We have a Prime Minister who excited us with his promise that Canada would become a peacekeeping nation once again"

I was never excited.  Peacekeeping for Justin was just part of his vanity project to win a useless seat on the UN Security Council.  Putting Canadian military lives at risk to boost his own profile and satisfy his ego.  Thank god he seems to have come to his senses.  At least on this issue.  It is no longer the 1970s, where third world despots and radicals would not dare to shoot an UN peacekeeper.  Today they are practically collected like trophies.
