Actually, the Canadians have one of the largest military groups now serving
in the middle east. You are unfairly criticizing them.

Just yesterday, one of their soldiers was killed in an ambush in
Afghanistan, alongside a US soldier.

The reason they have a large presence is that not only did they send
soldiers to support the fighting in Afghanistan, they also sent warships to
the Gulf to support the blockade, and I believe they are still there
supporting continuing Naval operations. They also have a base in
Afghanistan, and their officers have a presence in Iraq through the
military officer exchange programs with the US.

Overall, numerically they are one of the larger coalition military groups
in the area.

While Canada did not specifically join the "Coalition of the willing" in
attacking Iraq, they sent two frigates and a destroyer to the Gulf
region, which were active during the war, plus military planners were
stationed at the Coalition headquarters in Qatar during the invasion.
At the moment, there are something like 2,300 Canadian troops in
Afghanistan.
