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.
In Canada, there were two opinions on this: from the imperialists and nationalists. The imperialists believed that yes, Canada should send troops to help the empire. Some of their reasons included that they had a responsibility, and Canada might soon need Britain's help to sort of the Alaska Boundary Dispute. The nationalists believed that no, Canada should have nothing to do with it, because they didn't understand why Canada should take part in a war that had nothing to do with them directly.
