How was Canada involved in the Vietnam war What role did they play in the conflict?

Canada and Sweden became the new home of thousands of young men who were fleeing the US to avoid the draft. They were called draft dodgers. Canada, being an industrialized, technologically advanced country, manufactured military hardware of every description for the United States Military throughout the war. The Government of Canada dispatched destroyers and frigates to protect Canadian and UN interests in the vicinity. Though Canadian sailors engaged in the dangerous work of interception and boardings of suspicious vessels while upholding international law Canada maintained political neutrality. More than 30,000 Canadians volounteered and were deployed for for service with branches of the United States Military during the conflict, offsetting the effect of draft evasion by US citizens. Their sacrifice has received scant recognition from the Government of Canada over the years. A memorial erected to Canadian Vietnam War dead, known as the North Wall, now exists in Windsor Ontario.
