Peacekeeping has a place of pride in the Canadian national identity. Canadians feel that their nation is a natural leader in this international endeavour. How is this national identity expressed, and howhas it come about? Is it justified? An answer to these questions requires a probe of Canadian public and military attitudes, a historical review of Canada's peacekeeping activities, and an examination of current Canadian contributions. The final question is: What is needed if Canada is to live up to the image of the proud and prolific peacekeeper?

The expected C-17 buy is actually one half of a two-part plan to restore the military's clapped-out air transport capability. To replace the 35-year old Hercules aircraft for routine operations, a similar class of aircraft will also be procured. Both types of aircraft will have the ability to operate from short, unprepared runways common to the developing world or to remote communities in Canada. This attribute was made clear to me on my second exposure to the C-17 when I recently flew out of Kandahar, Afghanistan. The pilot gunned the engines but kept applying the brakes. When he released them we shot forward and leapt off the ground, leaving our stomachs behind. It felt as though we had been catapulted from the deck of an aircraft carrier.
