In an interview with Maclean’s, recently, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair criticized Canada’s role in fighting Islamic State (ISIS) declaring, “This is not our fight.”
In Syria, ISIS has already killed thousands of Christians in Aleppo and is terrifying the lives of all Christians in that region.
In the Middle East, where Christians made up one quarter of the population, today they number less than five per cent.
And Mulcair has the nerve to declare, “This is not our fight.”
While thousands of Christians are fleeing the country and crossing the Mediterranean, hopeful for a better life, many are losing their lives as they escape with just the clothes on their backs on overloaded precarious boats.
The large number that survive this perilous journey end up in refugee camps in Jordan, Italy, Greece and other European countries and are held there for years with an indeterminate, tremulous future and little hope to survive this trepidation that has wreaked havoc on their lives.
And Thomas Mulcair declares “This is not our fight.”
The Canadian Government is aware of at least 80 individuals who have returned to Canada after travel abroad for a variety of suspected terrorism-related purposes.
Some have engaged in paramilitary activities. Others have studied in extremist schools, raised money or otherwise supported terrorist groups.
And Mr. Mulcair continues to declare “This is not our fight.”
ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic State, has just recently declared war on Canada and the U.S., manifesting Jihad, encouraging Muslim youth in the West to commit terrorist acts on Canadian and American soil.
And Mulcair declares, “This is not our fight.”
If elected, Mr. Mulcair intends to abolish Bill C-51, an act passed by parliament to protect the lives of all Canadians and safeguard the lives of every man woman and child in this country, in light of the increase threat of terrorism.
What will Mr. Mulcair do if elected Prime Minister and Canada experiences a tragedy similar to the Boston Marathon?
What will Mr. Mulcair do if a 9/11 happened in Canada?
Obviously, he will do nothing.
Dangerous times are ahead if Mulcair leads this country for the next five years.
Since Mulcair will refrain from being involved in any international crisis, will Canada continue to be a member of NATO? What about NORAD? Will Canada abrogate our responsibility to our western allies?
With Thomas Mulcair as Prime Minister, Canada will definitely be isolated and ostracized by her allies in the West.
