The Canadian involvement in the Iraq war was interesting. I seemed the country took a principled stance against preemptive war but got involved after the invasion apparently to help re-build but what some called "re-building" others called an occupation and no matter how you say it- it was a war.

Umm, it was rebuilding, we sent RCMP officers there to train Iraqi police, not to occupy the country, and Bob Rae, went in the summer of 2005 to help compose the new Iraqi constitution, and Jean-Pierre Kingsley served as head of the international team observing the Iraqi legislative election of January 2005, oh yeah and we gave approximately $300 million towards the rebuilding effort, so yeah, no occupation there.
Maybe read this, I know it's Wiki, but it may give you some insight

As Canadian leaders took a principled stance against the invasion they also made note of how they supported the US military effort.

Certainly not the PM at the time, if he supported the military effort, I reckon he would have supported the invasion, then again I'm not Mr. Chretien so I can't say what he was thinking. Maybe Harper when he was opposition leader, but look how well that support went once he was PM, he figured out fuck that, the people will butcher me if I sent soldiers to that clusterfuck.
