Canada has played a significant and valuable role in the world since 1945, and has continued to do so to this very day. Canada is being seen as a peacemaking nation because of its efforts in organizations such as the NATO, NORAD and the UN. We did a satisfactory job in transitioning from a small behind the scenes nation, to an independent, well respected country. The Canadian peacekeepers played a huge role in Egypt and Korea by defusing the situation. Although our country has been through many battles that we should honour, we are all human and sometimes mistakes are made. For example, Somalia and Rwanda were unforgettable mistakes that gave Canada a bad look. I do not believe that the whole country should get a bad reputation due to the soldiers mistakes. Canada overall is a very well respected country and it is not perfect but the people have done more good than they have done bad.
