Well it makes sense from a political & somewhat financial standpoint. I mean special forces are a very visibile part of Canada showing her support and prowess while paying a minimum price to show off that kind of support. There's a saying for that, "Cheaper on the dime." Yeah i know that Canada is supposed to be able to support a brigade deployment as per NATO requirements but when a war is not popular among its masses and yet she needs to show support to USA, having special forces being deployed is the best way to go because of the secretive nature of the JTF, the Canadian leadership doesn't have to talk about it to the Canadian public, but can brag about it to the American public. Trying to have its cake and eat it.
