The RCAF (along with the Canadian Navy and Army) were rolled into the “Canadian Forces” in 1968.

They’re purchasing American-made C-17s in order to deploy their own troops, but they currently operate the C-130 and other aircraft.

Canada is already operating C-17s into Kandahar in addition to the C-130s that have been operaing in Afghanistan from the beginning.

When speaking of air assets, don't forget the Chinooks and their escorts, Griffons with door mounted gatling guns, operating out of KAF.
