The rhetoric might have changed since great britain was trying to "civilize the savages", but the reasons behind kkkanada trying to "help" Iraq are the same as they have been for any imperialist country.
According to the canadian government's own website, canada's oil companies interests in Iraq are worth more than 750 million dollars, and canada has done more than 3.4 billion dollars in "bi-lateral" trade with Iraq. canada opened a trade mission there in 2013. One of the many things canada is "helping" with, is "fiscal decentralisation". So say what you want about "freedom" and other bullshit, this is the real mission. And the fight against ISIS? Total crap. ISIS were one of the groups who the "friends of Syria" armed and financed in order to take down the Assad regime in Syria. And yes, assholes, kkkanada was one of those "friends". So next time anyone gets indignant about someone not "supporting the troops", they can fuck off. The troops get sent over there to defend the interests of the 1%, and NOT the 99, as many assholes would have you believe.
