Thanks to the mainstream media, the lie that Canada is NOT involved in this war has spread like wildfire through Canada. It has also spread through the US as well, at least as much as any information about Canada can permeate into American consciousness.

This is yet another example of a successful media campaign conducted by the Canadian government to perpetuate the underlying myth that Canada is a world-class peacemaker. Chrétien kept Canadians on the edge of their seats for months. Everyone was wondering whether the Liberals would support the war or not? The litmus test used to determine the answer to this question was rigged. It was made to look as if the question of Canada's support was hinged on whether we'd send land troops and warplanes into this war. When Canada didn't contribute in those two particular ways, it was broadcast wide and far across the nation and the world that Canada didn't endorse the war. Brilliant!!!
