Now Canada is not even close to being regarded as a contributor. Even the people in Canada do not think that Canada has any involvement in the peacekeeping business.

The United Nations. The name itself rings power. Upon hearing it, one thinks of safety and togetherness. However, we still have wars and live in fear of terrorism.
