Peacekeeping is the purpose of the Canadian military currently, because we are not in war with any other country, we try to keep peace with the ones who are. You could consider us mediators. However it was not always like this, when Canada was in war (ww1 and ww2) the purpose of the Canadian military was to protect our country, citizens and our allies.

Who is involved in peacekeeping?
The United Nations defines peacekeeping as "the deployment of international military and civilian personnel to a conflict area with the consent of the parties to the conflict in order to: stop or contain hostilities or supervise the carrying out of a peace agreement."While this definition serves as a useful reference point, no single definition of peacekeeping exists. Peacekeeping continues to evolve as new conflicts arise and demands to resolve them are increasingly placed on the UN. Peacekeeping is a demanding enterprise that requires the basic skills of a capable combat soldier and much more. Peacekeepers must be effective negotiators, be capable of standing firm in the face of hostile forces, and be prepared to endure privation. Since 1956, the number and scope of peacekeeping operations have increased exponentially. Over 750,000 military troops and civilian police from around the world, in addition to thousands of other civilians, have served as peacekeepers. There have been a total of 42 peacekeeping missions since the United Nation's inception, including 16 that are currently operational. Canada has always been a strong supporter of the United Nations and of peacekeeping, and has participated in almost every mission since its inception. The Canadian Armed Forces are recognized worldwide as being among the finest peacekeepers. In the related links below, I posted a list of the coutries ivolved in peacekeeping.
