Although Canada is a much smaller country than the U.S., yes, they did play a significant role in the Gulf War. The main objective was to relieve some U.S. troops and to place Canadian Soldiers in strategic area. The Gulf War is complex so go onto www.Google.com and ask your question for more information.

If you go onto google and study it you'll begin to realize all the secret deals made by both governments as well as compensation to U.S. and Canadian soldiers who have suffered from gas exposure and have had afflictions from this. It was a hard battle, but the wives of both sides banned together for answers from both governments (in denial) and won!
