The reason is the program was over. It had a start, middle, and end. You're witnessing the latter now. Unless the article is inaccurate and the program is being stopped for other reasons...
Chief Farr and his colleague, Fire Chief Bill Stewart, told a press conference today that neither city council, nor city staff ordered the stickers removed. Instead, the chiefs said the campaign to adorn about 170 fire trucks and 175 ambulances with yellow ribbon decals was done on their authority and would be ended on their authority, as planned, in the autumn.
So unless these guys are lying to our faces, this was always the plan.

What about the other peace-keeping missions? Is having these stickers saying you support those too? Or is that another issue?

What about them? Do the stickers support all of them? Is it another issue? I don't know. What I do know is the TO services had an idea of how long they wanted to run this sticker, and that term is over. Its not like Canada is folding up the tents over there as well... its just a few stickers.
Do you support the troops any less now that these stickers will be gone? Do you think other people's support will wane because of this decision? Do you think anyone, anywhere will really allow these stickers to impact how much they support Canadian soldiers?
