Reception

The book received mainly positive reviews throughout major Canadian newspapers. The Montreal Gazette described the book as "essential reading for anybody interested in Canada's defence and foreign policy."[2] The Calgary Herald described the book as "a short, sharp, reality slap to Canadians who think terrorists would never attack us given half an opportunity."[1] The Globe and Mail asked the question: "Does Canada need a foreign policy? You bet it does, and [Whose War Is It?] tells us why."[1]

The book, however, has been criticized for its oversimplification of issues by Kim Krenz, a journalist at the Canadian Military Journal.[3]

gollark: It might be?
gollark: Hmm, that actually makes no sense as the frame format knows it.
gollark: So it doesn't stop at the end of the zstandarduous data.
gollark: Ah. I have worked out the problem. The zstandard decoder just keeps advancing the stream until, for some bizarre reason, it goes quite a lot of the way through the file.
gollark: Also, `[x+1for x in t]` might be shorter than the `map`.
