Anyone who thought the anti-Americanism of the NDP would disappear when Obama took over from Bush was wrong.

The six-month mission to battle ISIS that Canada committed to last fall will end on April 7. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced he will go to Parliament this to request an extension of the mission to battle ISIS for a further year. The current engagement, limited to Iraq, may be broadened to include Syria. Canada’s role under the current mission has been to conduct air strikes, as well as flying surveillance and reconnaissance missions and training Iraqi and Kurdish fighters. One Canadian soldier, Sgt. Andrew Dorion, was killed earlier this month by Kurds in a friendly fire incident.

Harper does not need to go to Parliament to deploy troops. Unlike former PM Jean Chrétien who did not seek Parliament’s approval before sending troops to Afghanistan in the wake of September 11, Harper did seek approval of the House six

The Canadian television media already shilling for one Thomas Mulcair NDP leader,(who may be the next Prime Minister of Canada) so they say.

Shameless corrupt manipulation of so called "news".

Will the Canadian public be deceived by it?

Was it the NDP that managed to run Ontario for a while? I don’t know if they are socialists so much as fascists.

Was it the NDP that managed to run Ontario for a while?

For what it is worth, here is the skinny on the ill fated running of Ontario by the NDP. Over twenty years ago.

The Liberal Party boasted they had balanced the budget. It was found to be a deficit of 3.8 billion. The press then savaged that government. Crying out about deceit. Enter the NDP. First year in office, a deficit of 20 billion. Standard and Poors said the financial rating was in danger of being reduced below the A status. Next year cutbacks by the NDP and a deficit of 8 billion.

It had been a pork barrel for the NDP supporters. There were demonstrations as the money tree was cut off. Ministers were jostled by picketers.

The NDP ran Ontario into a debt which has never been close to leveling off. They will not run Ontario again methinks.
