We have our elite forces as well, don't kid yourself. JTF2 is right up there with the seals, and delta force. These guys are the best and you wouldn't want to meet one in a bar and insult their unit.
They were deployed in Afghanistan and performed very well.
Apparently when Canada was mulling joining any armed front into Iraq, Powell was very interested in them (and not much else).
And although the Canadian forces have long suffered under Chretien and it is my true hope that this will be turned around under Martin, I do not doubt the commitment and skill of the troops that we do have. By all accounts, they do a great deal with a whole lot of very little.
