Canada was a dominion of Great Britain, so some of the troops sent by the British to Africa were from Canada. There were also Irish troops and, I think, Australian and New Zealand troops as well. The British were having a difficulty time fighting the Boers so they eventually sent more troops which might be why Canadians had to go. Or maybe they just had to go.
