 I think the nationalpost is worried that Mulcair is winning people over to his side of the issue.

 Tom twitted the above, I think it sums up her view of the Yemen war.

Gwynne Dyer explains why terrorism is overblown and why Islamists want western countries to attack the Islamic State

During a subsequent question-and-answer period, Dyer was asked that if terrorism isn't such a concern, what truly frightens him?

"Climate change, climate change, climate change," he replied.

A) libya mission= yay. Iraq mission= no way Jose.
B) Pipelines in Saskatchewan= yay. Pipelines during toronto center By election= you've got to be kidding.
C) gun registry in rural ridings= not happening. Gun registry in urban ridings= need one.
D) c51= against the charter. Quebec's version of c51 (bill 78)= no comment.
E) west to east pipeline= let's build it homie. keystone= environment home!
Today's confused NDP summed up nicely.

I think anyone who follows your posts can clearly see the confusion is all yours.

People in Iraq and Syria just need to accept Shira law and if they don't follow it to the letter they will get their heads cut off. It's none of our business that mass murder is going on over there.

Trudwau voted against an Amendment by the NDP to bring an end the combat and boost aid, showing once again Justin says one think and does another talking out both sides of his mouth, again!

According to the G&M; 19 Conservatives, 5 NDP, 4 Liberal and 4 Independents decided not to show up for the vote last night on the military mission extension.

I wonder what was so important that the NDP members could not be present and be count against for declaring war against Syria.

All parties are having events of all kinds. In percentage terms the NDP had the best turnout of all of them.

So voting on bombing a country is secondary to what type of event? I hope the NDP were saving orphans from a burning church while they were handing out blankets to the homeless or something like that,

How many were paired?

I don't know the specific reasons. There may also have been twining (MPs who can't make it may sometimes pair with those on the other side who can but agree not to) this is done often. Do you have evidence this was not the case?

A number of Canadian MPS were here at this event in Vietnam

http://www.ipu.org/conf-e/132agnd.htm

And you don't drop this to go back to Ottawa for a vote that is a foregone conclusion.

I know Libby Davies (NDP) is there.

I am not sure but David McGuinty (L) might also be there as he is a part of that.

Carol Hughes was in Whitehorse for committee meetings and was unable to get back in time -- she has spoken about her regrets.

Not sure about the twining but this happens and it is not always possible to get back in time for all votes.

The NDP was 94% there; the Liberals were 89% there. The Conservatives were 88% there.

You would have to ask the MPs who had participating in twining to respect other MPs who could not make it.

Right, LOL, LOL, because they all care so much about their benefits and pension that they want to make sure the bill passes, LOL, LOL, of course, since they're all moneygrubbers that want their cash and none of them are going to vote it down, LOL, why would they need to be there for the vote?

LOL?

NDP urges end to Canada’s Iraq combat mission

The NDP call for an end to the combat mission, urge more humanitarian aid.

 

 

Humanitarian aid without security to both ensure it arrives where it is needed and protects it when it does will simply find it's way into the hands of ISIS who will use it in their mass murder.

If we're not going to protect it then the next best thing to do is not send any humanitarian aid at all.

So is Harper going to thank Putin for flying the Canadians to safety from Yemen?

Odd thoughts: Clouds and sun and sun and clouds

Mulcair would cite the United Nations statutes aimed at international co-existence, to show that Canada has no business doing war in a state that cannot be deemed to be a direct threat to Canada. Nor can we logically claim that we’re in there to save the populace of a sovereign nation from genocide, as we are supporting a regime that is actually pursuing a genocidal agenda that is even more severe and affects more people than the one being pursued by the supposed invaders we are dropping bombs on.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau would more likely suggest that we should just find a way to make it all legal before proceeding with an action that, truth be told, is similar to actions taken by the Government of Canada while the Liberals were in power, or which the Liberals supported as recently as last fall under the leadership of the self-same Conservative Stephen Harper who is now getting too close to an election for the Liberals to find agreeable on any level.
