Err....do you remember the Iraq war? We weren't in it. Harper demanded that we enter.
Firstly, the opposition generally will be against whatever the party in office does. However to your actual example,
while that is the standard revisionism, it's completely wrong.

Harper didn't demand that we were in it. He demanded that we be honest about what we were doing in Iraq. At the same time the Liberals proudly promised that they were working overtime to convince the UN Security Council to allow the invasion of Iraq, at which point we would be in there guns in hand.
So compare that to what you just said (I don't blame you as it is the completely standard narrative).
-We were in Iraq
-We were working all channels to get the UN to sanction the war
-Then we would be in the war
