An article about what Canada’s youth think is important regarding Canada’s military and how it is deployed, etc., had this one tidbit that perked me up a bit because it confirms, for the 946
th
time, what I keep saying, and what liberals keep insisting I’m wrong about because Paul (“we lead the world”) Martin tell ‘em different!:
At the forum, Robert Greenhill, a foreign policy analyst who conducted a project based on interviews with 40 leading thinkers worldwide, said experts feel Canada has virtually “disappeared” from the world stage militarily.
Canada’s military currently constitutes about two per cent of UN-approved deployed forces, said Greenhill, whose External Voices Project was done for the Canadian Institute of International Affairs.
“It has declined from us being a modest but important player to being virtually insignificant, particularly in peacekeeping and peace enforcement,” he said.
“Today, we have fewer professionals on the front line than Doctors Without Borders.”
Yet Liberal Prime Minister Paul (“we lead the world”) Martin still insists, as he did during the election, that Canada “leads the world” in issues such as peacekeeping and peace enforcement. See, “lead the world” means something different to a liberal, apparently.
