Canada has always taken on the proud role of global peacekeepers. Our Peacekeeping corps have been involved in so many conflicts in the hopes of creating peace among enemies. As societal values change, and new enemies and situations occur, many Canadians believe that our nation should transform our role from one of Peacekeeping to Peacemaking.
Taking into account recent events (Afghanistan, Syria, Russia-Crimea, ISIS, and the most recent attacks on Canadians on Canadian soil), do you believe that Canada should shift their peacekeeping policies to that of a more forceful peacemaking role? Why or why not? Support your answer with historical and contemporary evidence.
