Decreased?

I have absolutely no idea where you get your info but the demand for Canadian troops by the world bodies be it NATO or the UN has never been greater. Canadian supposed non-participation in the Iraq War has been often incited as a reason not to get involved.

The ONLY reason why there are a fewer Canadian troops on UN operations is the decision by Generals Maurice Baril and Rick Hilliar as being deemed worthless, not because of demand.
