Iraq

Washington's snub of Ottawa over the Liberal election promise to withdraw fighter aircraft from Iraq is calculated to incite pro-war agitation in Canada.

Sometimes individuals and countries really do need to do the right thing. This is one of those times. Canadians elected Justin Trudeau to do better than this.

Presumably Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, alleged to be the Mr. Congeniality of Canadian politics, will keep this kind of thing up until the provincial election now scheduled for April 4.

Those citing R2P to pressure Trudeau to continue bombing Iraq-Syria are demonstrating an acute, but cynical, understanding of the doctrine.

Jason Kenney was quick to demand an apology from a Liberal candidate, but were the candidate's comments totally off-base or did they contain some truth?

In a corner, the prime minister will pander to his reliable base rather than risk doing the right thing.

Stephen Harper thinks that bombing ISIS will solve the Syrian refugee crisis. How true is this?

Canada is no longer a welcoming nation for refugees. Many Canadians are now realizing just how bad it's become.

If Jason Kenney was in violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act, even unintentionally, shouldn't he resign as defence minister?
