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.

Canada has superior expertise in the elite field. If more money were used to specialize certain areas, Canada could become a leader on the world stage for intelligence,spec-ops,etc. To build an army is not the way to go. Special units for all occasions. That's what I would do if I were the PM.
