Do JTF2 operators perform assassinations?
Not in a Black Operation type. They are not the CIA or CSIS. Assasinations have not been conducted probably since the Cold War. If you mean an assasination like the Bin Laden raid, when DEVGRU(SEAL Team 6) went in to kill/capture UBL, then yes they do those type of operations. But just like the operators on the Bin Laden raid were told, "This is not an assasination, if you can capture UBL, then do it". Because it is always more valuable to have taken a enemy leader as a prisoner then to shoot him on sight.
Can a british citizen join the Canadian army?
No, you have to have Canadian citizenship I believe, so if you gain Canadian citizenship you can, but it may take awhile as they do a minimum 10 yr background check. I know a woman who lived in Russia for most of her life joined. If you're willing to gain Canadian citizenship though, you should be able to.

Why do Air Force pilots have to be officers?
They have to be officers simply because a pilot designation is only available to officers. Under current policy in the Navy, Marines and Air Force, all pilots must be commissioned officers. The majority of Army pilots are Warrant Officers which falls in the rank structure higher than enlisted members, but lower than commissioned officers. There have been times in the past when enlisted personel have been designated as pilots in various programs within the services due to needs of the services etc. In WWII, there were many enlisted pilots, but few if any since then.
There are several reasons cited for the requirement for pilots to be officers. Some have referred to the need for more educated personnel to perform a task requiring more education, and general intelligence to be effective. Other's cite the need to compensate pilots at higher pay rates in order to keep them in the military for longer periods of time required to complete training, and become proficient.
