Harper stood up in the House of Commons telling parliament that the 
mission will be extended beyond 2007.

Canada went in to Afghanistan under the U.N. as a peacekeeping force. 
The U.N. does not endorse a fighting force except for extreme 
circumstances. Peacemaking, as you call it, is a fighting force.

Canada has taken over the job from the United States who were the 
invaders of that country. We have been given the job of running the 
occupation.

There was a definite shift in the mission once Harper became PM. This 
was to the delight of the U.S. who have been looking for allies in their 
wars.
