@JesseBrown I think when a country begins a bombing campaign that kills 16,000 people, and its supporters hold a rally and wave the flag of that country, it's reasonable to assume they support the war

I think every war Canada participated now in is just retroactively about "peace, freedom, and democracy" like in the USA.
Today, we honour the brave Canadians who fought in the Korean War and defended the values of peace, freedom, and democracy. Their service and sacrifice continue to be remembered – in Korea, on the Kapyong Trail, and in Canada. We are forever grateful. tinyurl.com/yckpbcm3
