"The Rideau Institute and Peacebuild have released a report on the decreasing role of Canada in United Nations peacekeeping efforts. The report shows Canadaʼs declining commitment to UN peacekeeping through a collection of graphs, including striking illustrations of the steady drop in Canadaʼs financial and personnel contributions.

From the report: 'Canada has fallen from being the single largest contributor of UN peacekeepers, a position it often held before 1992, to 56th position today (Chart 1). Once the supplier of nearly 3,300 peacekeeping soldiers, Canada now contributes less than one busload, just 57' (pg. 2)."
