I would assume that's why, yes. I suppose some Canadians are proud of our "peacekeeping", just like some Americans are proud of their "liberating". On the otherhand a lot of us realize our government is not a whole lot better in some cases. The main difference is, in Canada, the people have more control over their government.
Canada hasn't done anything about Sudan, and we didn't do enough in Rwanda. I don't know that we had the ability to do anything, but that's not the point.
However, while our government didn't do enough, the only guy doing anything and trying to convince others do stop the Genocide, was in fact Canadian.
