I mean, in what kind of even bizzaire scenario do you see Canadian forces fighting an enemy in a conventional war without the backing of the US or anyone else? I think such a chance is so remote, that the government is really better off making a military that is highly mobile and works to mainly support allied operations worldwide.
You have to design your military around the mission.
And in a situation where a place becomes unstable and Canadian civilians must be withdrawn, I think Canada's got the right stuff for that kind of operation, though I'm not sure what Canada's air and sea lift capacities are.

But that's just the way things are.
The mission counts. But you're right, they're going to have to take this mission seriously. Calling it "peacekeeping" is a mistake because that entire type of operation, the way it's run, is a complete c**k up fron the start anyways.
