Canada hasn’t abandoned 200-soldier promise to UN peacekeeping: Minister

OTTAWA — Defence Minister Anita Anand says while the Liberal government’s promise to provide a 200-soldier force to United Nations peacekeeping “is not off the table,” it is being considered alongside Canada’s many other international priorities.

… That is despite the UN having said it needs such forces now, and the U.S. having asked Canada last month to fulfil its commitment.

A thong shortage tops my list of possible reasons for the lack of action.
