Trudeau and the Liberals for as an yet unknown reason desperately want a seat on the U.N.'s Security Council. To that end they have done everything possible to gain the attention of the U.N. with suitable gestures and of course large sums of money to be spread around on various U.N. sanctioned causes.  The mission to Mali or some other African country is one of those gestures. There is a very real likelihood that some of our troops will either be injured or die, as this will be peacekeeping. When the unfortunate does happen, I hope that enough people will remind Trudeau of the price that was paid in order to get  the dubious seat on a U.N. Council.
