Canada PM says will ban travel to areas held by designated terrorists

A Calgary woman whose 22-year-old son was killed while fighting with Islamic extremists in Syria says Stephen Harper is looking for a “quick fix” to deal with terrorism instead of dealing with the root cause of radicalized youth.

The Conservative campaign also lands in the Toronto-area today as Prime Minister Harper takes to the air for week two of the campaign.

It’s certainly a different approach from Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair who have yet to announce much in the way of platform content from the campaign trail.

Harper continued pressing an anti-terror agenda on the campaign trail Monday, which included a stop in Markham, Ontario.

“We have the capacity to offer to Canadians a better government – a government worthy of our dreams and our aspirations”.

WATCH: Harper declares banning journey to sure areas in struggle towards terrorism. “But we know what other people are doing there and this is something we’ve got to nip in the bud before trained terrorists return to this country“.

And when asked about his eyebrow-raising promise Sunday to impose an outright ban on travel to regions controlled by terror groups, Harper repeated the day’s sound bite of choice, saying such travel is “not a human right”. For Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Mulcair to say things like we shouldn’t be participating militarily, we should just be doing humanitarian assistance, let me quote what those representative community groups in Canada said about that policy.

Mulcair, meanwhile, was in Toronto for the launch of his new autobiography, “Strength of Conviction”, before heading to Montreal.

Friendly protesters armed with banners stood up and confronted the NDP leader about his position on the Energy East pipeline, demanding to know if he would oppose the project if it proved incompatible with national action on climate change.

Mulcair has also said there should be an equal number of leaders’ debates in English and French. Already, Harper has denied any advance knowledge of a $90,000 cheque Wright signed to cover Duffy’s denied housing expense claims.RCMP documents filed in court showed Wright had sent emails to a lawyer and PMO staffers, telling them that a plan devised to have Duffy pay back his expenses had been given the green light by the prime minister.

Harper’s announcement features a multi-million-dollar pledge to fund teams which are making an attempt to guard locations of worship and non secular artifacts focused by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

A re-elected Conservative government would bring in 10,000 additional religious minority refugees from Syria and Iraq, targeting refugees in the region who face persecution or the threat of extremist violence, the prime minister said.

The three-year initiative, according to a release Harper provided a link to, would help protect religious minorities, including Alawites, Bedouins, Christians, Druze, Shia, Yazidis and others, who are threatened by the “genocidal terrorist organization” called the Islamic State.
