Ehh, Korea happened, and Afghanistan. And, y’know, our own early expansion. We invented peacekeeping missions, but these days mostly troops from other third-world nations actually do it. Pakistan was far and away ahead of the pack last I checked, although it’s been a while.

I’m happy with modern Canada, and I would separate it from historical Canada, but our lack of military building and use has been out of complacency more than anything else.
