Canadian opposition urges government to continue air striking ISIS
Some Canadian political leaders called on Saturday for vigorous action against terrorism including continued involvement in military action against the ISIS terrorist group in the wake of Friday’s attacks in Paris.
Opposition leader Rona Ambrose has called on the government to immediately reverse its decision to pull fighter jets from the US-led bombing mission against ISIS, saying that the attacks on France should prompt Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to rethink his government’s withdrawal plans.
“The signal that it sends to abandon that role at this time is not prudent”, the interim Conservative leader said at a news conference in Ottawa. “The fight against ISIS requires a strong humanitarian response, but also a military response. It is important that we remain resolute and support our allies”.
