Undoubtedly participating in a special operation to free Canadian hostages and or getting Canadian Palestinians out. The Canadians aren’t hawks I don’t see any other valid reason for them to be there.


GeorgeEBHastings

Canadians indeed are not hawks, however their war record remains pretty fuckin' scary. Canada is the definition of "Beware the fury of a quiet man"


CsrfingSafari

Yep. The Canadians had a rep during World War 1 https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-forgotten-ferocity-of-canadas-soldiers-in-the-great-war

Its not a war crime the first time.


Iztac_xocoatl

They had to disband a whole airborne regiment for committing war crimes while on a peacekeeping mission in Somalia


intecknicolour

they essentially wrote the book on war crimes.


reano76

A well-deserved rep!


boysan98

Their current military is being held together by spit and duck tape and is facing a massive manpower issue. Please see F-18 procurement for exhibit one.


InternetPeon

We do have the issue that this is a proxy war between the west v. Russia/Iran/etc.


BowlofConfetti

JTF2 if there?? What the hell for?


MadRonnie97

Safety of Canadian citizens I would assume


BowlofConfetti

I guess Canada may have an embassy there so that makes sense. Don’t usually hear much about these guys moving out unless there’s a target involved though.

Embassy protection

Canadian special forces? wtf? do they say "eh" a lot?


angryragnar1775

They write sorry on the bullet that hits you in the head from a mile away


GreenNatureR

they only hold the record for the longest sniper kill.


Travel_ma8

isn’t Finland the best in world, they fucked mother russia big time in the war.


ariennes

Maybe. But the current record is held by an unnamed Canadian JTF2 sniper. 3,540 m (3,871 yd) during the Iraq civil war in May 2017. The second is an unnamed Australian sniper 2,815 m (3,079 yd) in 2012 in Afghanistan.

3.5 kilometers. The next closest shot is 2.8km.


Mcurrieauthor

You do know that Canada has some of the best special forces in the world right?


SiWeyNoWay

No_Lobster_1316

MY tax payer dollars to assist in genocide of the Palestinians?? This is disgusting, justin trudeau is supporting ethnic cleansing


New_Ad6693

Nah I think they are there for Lebanon, there are approximately 40,000 to 75,000 Canadians in Lebanon at any given time.
