Telling the enemy that you won't retaliate if attacked is simply inviting him to attack you.
"Canadian PM: We won't bomb ISIS even if attacked," by Raphael Poch, Israel National News, January 5, 2016:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is keeping his post-election promises and planning to put an end to the participation of the Canadian Air Force in the allied bombings of ISIS. Instead, he is moving Canadian efforts towards training local forces and towards providing humanitarian aid in Syria and Iraq.
In an interview with Global News, Trudeau said that he sees no reason to change this new policy towards ISIS and the threat of Islamic terror, even if a terror attack similar to the one in Paris were carried out on Canadian soil.
Trudeau, who as Prime Minister receives daily briefings on matters of national security, said that "it is no surprise that there are angry extremists and terrorists out there who wish Canadians and Canada harm and countries like it around the world. The key on understanding that, is how we let that affect us."
"Obviously one of the most fundamental responsibilities of any government is to keep its citizens safe, and that is something that we are very focused on. But more than that, do we let ourselves be ruled by fear? Do we give in to the fear that there is a terrorist on every plane that may come to Canada? No, we cannot live that way and continue to be the hopeful country that we are. Quite frankly, fear doesn't make us stronger; it makes us weaker. I feel that the job of being Prime Minister is to demonstrate that there are concerns, But we are working very hard on them, and people shouldn't go through their lives afraid."...
"We need to ensure that our intelligence community and our police services have the tools necessary to locate threats to Canadians. But anytime you are giving more resources to the intelligence agencies and the police, you need to bring in more oversight on those agencies to make sure that those powers are being properly used and not damaging our free society, and to make sure that they are doing everything they can to me Canadians safe."
Trudeau said that "Canada is committed to having a military engagement in the fight against ISIL (ISIS) but in a helpful and substantive way. We have made the decision that we will pull out the CF-18’s and ending the bombings that Canada has been involved in, and we will be doing something else."...
Doesn’t Trudeau have kids?
What happened to his balls?

I have heard of preemptive attacks, but never a preemptive surrender.
“It’s not Canada speaking it’s just Trudeau ,same goes for the US ,it’s just Obama.”
That’s worth repeating, there are so many who just like to think they’re all the same up here.
If more Americans visit Alberta for example, they’d probably think they were in Texas (minus the open carry).
If his handlers tell him, he might find out.
Trudeau can give away all his hats. Where his head is, he never need fear a sunburned scalp...
Dear Canadians...Did the insane LIB asshats electing Clown Prince nobma here impress you so much that you had to have your own LIB loser?
Maybe we should start on a Northern Wall now. Spread the expense over a number of years.
My bro-in-law is a Canadian and he loves Trudeau. My brother and I just laughed at him.
Oh, what the...
Canada has a hell of an AF, actually. They do a lot with not much.
Their politicians, meh.
Drop your pants.
Spread your cheeks.
We’re a country you can beat
When you’re doing the Brandeau polka!
