Canada to cease ISIS airstrikes by feb. 22

[OBEY 57,109]

Canada will cease airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria by Feb. 22, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday.

The CF-18 fighter jets will be pulled from the mission, but one refuelling plane and two surveillance aircraft will continue to participate. Ottawa will also triple the size of what it calls the “train, advise and assist effort” in the region. Currently, 69 special forces trainers are assisting local troops on the ground.

Canada’s new contribution to the fight against ISIS will include additional medical personnel and equipment such as small arms and ammunition to assist Iraqi security forces.

"The people terrorized by (ISIS) don't need our vengeance, they need our help," said Trudeau.

Trudeau made the announcement alongside Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan, Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion and International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau.

Trudeau has been under pressure to keep the CF-18 fighter jets in the combat mission against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. But he has repeatedly said that he won’t back down on his election promise.

Trudeau said Monday that “some” people think the government should use “heated, over-the-top rhetoric” when talking about ISIS. But he said that would only accomplish “precisely what our enemies want us to do: they want us to elevate them, to give in to fear, to indulge in hatred."

Federal officials have told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that Canada's strategic interest would be well served by strengthening economic ties with oil-rich Saudi Arabia because of its powerful position in the Persian Gulf.

Syrian families have been known to sell their young daughters using temporary marriages, known as sigheh, segheh, or mu’ta. Wealthy individuals from Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E. and Kuwait travel to Egypt to purchase women and girls for temporary marriages.

The discovery of the Leviathan gas field within Israeli and Cypriot waters has made Israel a potential energy exporting nation. However the means to transport the gas to the large energy markets of Europe continues to elude Israel. Recent talks between Turkey and Israel about plans to build a gas pipeline, through Turkey and into Europe, have been extensively reported.

With farming traditions that are already “organic”, embattled Syria can easily become an important organic food producer, based on climate, practices and location to Europe.

This past January President Bashar Assad issued Legislative Decree No. 12 for 2012 related to organic farming in Syria. The decree aims at laying the foundation for developing organic production and the marketing of organic products in Syria. This Legislative Decree followed a Syrian cabinet decision taken on November 22, 2011 to pass a bill on developing organic farming. This bill was prepared in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization.

That is minority custom with some shi'ites and maybe alawis. Sunni Syrians don't practice mut'ah. And how is it related to this news?

 

And btw there is a thread about Syria, most of your post is off topic.

It is to do with Isis right so it is about Syria and if there is war selling off a girl might actually be better than other options regardless of normal practice. Fact is Saudi is not country to be having ties with it is very far from Canada for a start and some say involved in finance of terrorists. The labour leader in the UK Corbyn even said something along those lines:

“Who is funding ISIS? Who is arming ISIS? Who is providing safe havens for ISIS? You have to ask questions about the arms that everyone has sold in the region, the role of Saudi Arabia in this. I think there are some very big questions.”

Canada has plenty it could be sorting out in it's own country so that it might be able to talk about other countries from a respectable position.
