2003 - Canada decides not to join in the war in Iraq.

In 2003, the Canadian government declared that it would not participate in the Iraq War, led by the United States.

This decision was highly controversial in both Canada and the United States at the time.

Many Canadians and Americans alike argued that Canada should stand by its ally, the United States, during this conflict.

However, the Canadian government argued that there was no clear evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and that military intervention would not be necessary.

This decision was met with both praise and criticism.

Supporters of this decision argued that Canada had a right to stand independent of the United States, and that a war in Iraq would be expensive and destructive.

Critics argued that Canada should have stood by the United States, and that the decision to not participate in the war undermined the alliance between the two countries.
