Canada under the Liberals is not going to be the same
Elias Bejjani/21 October/15
It is strongly believed by many observers that peaceful and prosperous Canada whose Conservative Government was leading in the global fight against terrorism is not going to be the same with the Liberal Party governing with a majority. Today the newly elected PM, Mr Trudeau told the USA president Mr. Obama that he is withdrawing the Canadian jets from the fight against Isis in both Syria and Iraq. Most probably Trudeau’s next move will be towards the Iranian Mullahs in a bid to totally cancel all sanctions against their oppressive regime and quietly muffle all Canada’s strong criticism on both their human rights on going atrocities and on their scary Atomic vigorous ambitions. Many such steps are expected very soon. Based on Mr. Trudeau’s foreign policies Platform many of the Canadians who voted for him will very regret their choice.
Reflections on the Canadian elections
Tarek Fatah/Toronto Sun/Tuesday, October 20, 2015
“Liberals win in Canada, flags at half mast in Tel-Aviv.
1. They lost Harper — their most vocal supporter in the West
2. They lost Mulcair — their second most vocal supporter whose Jewish wife never fails to invoke Holocaust every other second.” A new dawn may have arisen over Canada with the election of Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau and the end of the Stephen Harper decade. But does this mean the end of Canada’s war against ISIS? Those who ran Trudeau’s campaign and marketed this young, handsome man as the future of the country must be congratulated for a brilliant and near flawless operation. Trudeau deserves recognition as a tireless campaigner, who did not falter under a relentless Conservative attack depicting him as “just not ready” for the job. He had to prove otherwise and he did. The Conservatives were caught flat-footed, unable to match the Liberals’ clever ad campaign, particularly the one starring former Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion, staring into the camera and declaring: “Stephen, do I look scared to you?” Another woman from Mississauga also threw a monkey wrench into the election works. Niqabi Zunera Ishaq, originally from Pakistan, took on the Conservative government over the niqab issue, but instead pulled the carpet out from under NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair.
Mulcair’s defence of her right to wear the niqab’s face veil while taking the oath of citizenship shocked secular Quebecers, and was one of the reasons they abandoned the NDP in droves. Mulcair could’ve been Canada’s first NDP prime minister. But he gave away a kingdom for a niqab, undermining his party’s political fortunes in the province that was the source of its greatest political strength. While Liberals celebrate victory, Conservatives mourn losing the government and New Democrats recover from the shock of dropping from official opposition to third place, an air of despondency hangs over another group of Canadians. They are immigrants to Canada who are ridiculed for being obsessed with the threat Islamism poses to Canada and the West, and whose opinions are dismissed by Canada’s chattering classes. Monday night, some of them gathered in Toronto to watch the results, and as the red Liberal wave swept across the Atlantic provinces, the shock on their faces could not be concealed by their forced smiles. “Does this mean our CF-18s are coming home?” one woman asked, referring to Canada’s military mission in the war against ISIS. No one answered but her concern was justified.
The Liberals pledged to withdraw Canada from the fight against ISIS and to defend the right of Islamists and other Muslims to wear the niqab. In his caucus, Trudeau has Iranian-born members who want to re-establish Canada’s relations with Iran and Pakistan-born MPs who want to forge a closer relationship between Trudeau and the military generals of Pakistan. Tuesday morning saw a mass e-mail, authors unknown, sent out to many in Canada’s Islamic community stating:
“Liberals win in Canada, flags at half mast in Tel-Aviv.
1. They lost Harper — their most vocal supporter in the West
2. They lost Mulcair — their second most vocal supporter whose Jewish wife never fails to invoke Holocaust every other second.”
My hope is some Liberal MPs of stature will resist this appeal to the latent anti-Semitism that resides in the hearts of many. Men such as former Toronto Police chief Bill Blair, Toronto Centre MP Bill Morneau and Canada’s first-ever Somali-Canadian MP, Ahmad Hussen from York-South Weston, are just three who give me hope some Liberals MPs will resist moves to pull Canada out of the war against ISIS.
Observers: Iran wins Canada’s elections?
Walid Phares/October 20/15/Sources from inside the Iranian regime revealed that the ruling establishment in Tehran is satisfied with the results of the elections in Canada and the victory of Mr Justin Trudeau, as they expect that his Government will end the Canada economic sanctions on Iran and more importantly would terminate Canada’s policy actions of the Ayatollahs’ human rights records. Canada was the last liberal democracy to continue the pressure on the Islamic Republic despite the so-called “Iran deal.” Already months ago, Middle Eastern Canadian analysts have noted that many Canadian financial interests were mobilizing against the conservative Government arguing that they want their share of the mega deal of 150 billion dollars going to the land of the Ayatollahs. Observers in Beirut said “seen from the region, this is a victory to the Iran deal camp and it will be felt soon. Canada is expected to restore its embassy in Tehran, cease its human rights pressure on the regime and eventually remove Hezbollah from its terror list. From here it looks like a third victory of the Obama Administration.” Note that a Trudeau Government will end Canada’s air force participation in the air campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and instead train the pro-Iranian forces of the Baghdad Government. “It is a complete reversal of policy,” said a Canadian observer, “it is an Obama type of ideological change in national security and foreign policy. It will swing all the way to the other side, before the Canadian public realizes that shift. People in Canada who voted for Trudeau, wanted a change in domestic policies, as was the case in the US in 2008, but they will get a change in foreign policy instead, and for the worse” said the observer. “Mabrouk li Hizbullah” would fit today’s news from Canada…
Canada to withdraw jets from Iraq and Syria By AFP | Ottawa/Wednesday, 21 October 2015/Canada’s prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday he told US President Barack Obama that Canadian fighter jets would withdraw from fighting the ISIS group in Iraq and Syria. But he gave no timeline. “About an hour ago I spoke with President Obama,” Trudeau told a press conference. While Canada remains “a strong member of the coalition against ISIL,” Trudeau said he made clear to the U.S. leader “the commitments I have made around ending the combat mission.” Canada last year deployed CF-18 fighter jets to the region until March 2016, as well as about 70 special forces troops to train Kurds in northern Iraq. During the campaign, Trudeau pledged to bring home the fighter jets and end its combat mission. But he vowed to keep military trainers in place. His new Liberal government will be “moving forward with our campaign commitments in a responsible fashion,” Trudeau said. “We want to ensure that the transition is done in an orderly fashion.”
