Canada has done well in Afghanistan and, as I've said before, has put many European countries to shame (most notable France and Germany)

Despite having a population of only 34 million, it has suffered the third highest number of military fatalities in Afghanistan after the US and UK (is it more than a coincidence that three great Anglo-Saxon nations top the casualities list?), with 154 killed. Germany (pop: 82 million) and France (pop: 62 million) have suffered 112 fatalities COMBINED.

And it's not the first time Canada has excelled itself in war. I think, during WWII, it suffered the greatest number of military fatalities on a per capita basis of any Allied nation.
