I say yes to both... I see no reason (especially with cost removed) why the mayor would be okay with one and not the other...

Personally I remember growing up and knowing that Canada was famous for its peace keeping, I was proud of that... but in my mind until this mission we had really for the most part stopped earning it... riding the wake of missions long since past... I'm proud of what we are doing over there, I do believe in the mission, although the plan of attack may need to be revisited, and it would be nice if the rest of Canada would continue to support the troops and the mission... failing that support the troops... you don't have to like the mission in order to support the troops.
You should do some investiagtion into what the Canadians were doing in the former Yugoslavia through the 90's. I'd hardly call it "riding the wake".
