Canada to withdraw fighter jets from Syria, Iraq

Canada’s Liberal Party decisively won the October 19 general election, ending almost a decade of Conservative rule.

Among the areas in which Trudeau differs from his predecessor, Conservative Stephen Harper: airstrikes against the Islamic State group, climate change, immigration and whether relations with the USA should hinge on the future of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

“India attached high priority to deepening and further expanding its strategic partnership with Canada”, the release said.

The 43-year-old Trudeau ran a campaign under the platform of “real change”, and the election brought the Liberals to a stunning majority win, rising from 34 seats to a remarkable 184 seats.

A majority of Canadian voters, it turns out, believe Justin Trudeau is more than ready.

Trudeau indicated as much in a press conference on Tuesday, although he was vague on specifics.

Mr. Harper was relatively successful in steering Canada’s economy, and his support for human rights and democratic principles was notable at a time when the United States’ voice was more muted. He also spoke to UK Prime Minister David Cameron and French President François Hollande.

Canadians have chosen change over conformity and voted for the return to a country of hope and prosperity, and with the Trudeau Government in place Canada will swiftly be back on its rightful path. For over one hundred years the hardworking members of the Labourers’ worldwide Union of North America have built our communities and have helped form Canada.

But his tone Tuesday suggested he’ll try to manage the political symbolism.

The Canadian government hasn’t set a timetable for the withdrawal of its six fighter jets now in the region. He made no mention of his intention during his concession speech, leaving the decision to be announced by his party in a brief statement.

Trudeau has consistently opposed Harper’s counter-terror moves, including proposed legislation previous year to cancel the citizenship of terrorists. If he follows through on the promise, Canada will lose the 0 million already invested in the F-35’s development and Lockheed Martin would lose what would have been billions of dollars in sales to the Royal Canadian Air Force, Fortune reports.
