            Waging Peace: Canada in Afghanistan
        
      In 2006, Canada takes on a larger role as Canadian troops are deployed to Afghanistan. Troops are sent to Kandahar province, where most of the fighting takes place. The Afghanistan mission creates more controversy in Canadian history than any other military intervention and the casualty count continues to rise. As 2011 approaches, Canada must decide if the troops will be pulled out as scheduled or continue to provide support in Afghanistan.
