PM-Elect Of 'US Ally' Canada Wastes No Time: Tells Obama Will Withdraw Fighter Jets From Syria, Iraq
With the ink still damp on voter slips, newly crowned elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wasted no time in fulfilling the first of his liberal "hope" and "change" promises. As AFP reports, hours after defeating Stephen Harper, Trudeau has told US President Obama that he will withdraw Canadian fighter jets from Syria and Iraq, though giving no timeline. So far, the US response is a mutedly diplomatic but tinged with guilt, "We have stood shoulder to shoulder with Canadian armed forces... in Iraq and Afghanistan," from the US State Department.
"About an hour ago I spoke with President Obama," Trudeau told a press conference.
While Canada remains "a strong member of the coalition against ISIL," Trudeau said he made clear to the US leader "the commitments I have made around ending the combat mission."
Canada last year deployed CF-18 fighter jets to the region until March 2016, as well as about 70 special forces troops to train Kurds in northern Iraq.
During the campaign, Trudeau pledged to bring home the fighter jets and end its combat mission. But he vowed to keep military trainers in place.
His new Liberal government will be "moving forward with our campaign commitments in a responsible fashion," Trudeau said.
"We want to ensure that the transition is done in an orderly fashion."
Earlier on Tuesday, as Sputnink News reports, the US State Department addressed questions as to whether or not it was concerned that Canada's new government may not support US foreign policy regarding IS presence in Afghanistan.
"These are all decisions the Canadian people have to make and Canadian legislators have to make... and their Prime Minister [has to make]," department spokesperson John Kirby told reporters.
"We have stood shoulder to shoulder with Canadian armed forces…in Iraq and Afghanistan," he added.

While this move seems like a hope-y and change-y step forward, the lack of timeline leaves plenty of room for the neocons to knock on Trudea's door and shower gifts on an economy floundering on the verge of "Emerging Market" status (as HSBC analysts warned).

I grew up in a border town. I have nothing but the highest regard for the thoughtful, rugged, and industrious Canadians. Like the Scandinavians, your only real shortcoming is an overly developed sympathy for less fortunate swarthy foreigners along with a wealthy minority wielding outrageous power.
I salute you and your countrymen and women. I share your joy in celebrating Canada's individualism and new direction!

The Russians have the stiuation under control, Western drag queens can go home.
The new PM is pandering to his supporters with this meaningless symbolic gesture.
Canada has six F-18-variant fighter jets in the Middle East. Two have been assigned to Syrian operations. The new PM claims that at some future date he'll order both of them to keep away from Syria.
we bought 120 F18's... I hope the next purchase will be from Russia... who needs that Raptor crap
I heard the pilots were tired of dropping their load in the desert at nothing...

I am pleased as punch that Trudeau will stop cooperating with the Empire's wars. Somebody has to be first and Canada is the best possible ally to start the process. I don't like the Canada bashing I read read here from some people. I've been through the country from east to west and find Canadians to be fantastic. I'd move there tomorrow if it wasn't so cold. I'd live there if I was rich enough to afford a large house with a heated indoor pool aside a mountain. Dang, it's gorgeous there. What's really good about Trudeau is he intends to push right away for cannabis legalization. I have tried using weed a couple times - ok, more than a couple. I'd love to get the whole pentagon stoned during one of their war rallies. Maybe a few of those neocon morons would wake up to the reality that not everyone is an enemy.
"I'd move there tomorrow if it wasn't so cold."
It's the cold that makes us what we are. Same as Russia.
I know most hate liberals but I can't see Liberals allowing Canadians to starve or not afford heat... or be run out of their homes... when the collapse comes... BUT I am sure these things will happen in USA... there will be mass civil unrest there and many will try to get into Canada...
As well, unlikely that Canada will be nuked.
Also this riding off the US coat tails BS... Well I for one am sick of being colonized, first like Brits did, then the USA took over... printing fiat ponzi from nothing and then buying everything up, demanding all, setting prices, manipulating prices... like the evil shit heads they are... and need to be hung... overthrowing governments to suit themselves.
When US dollar is not accepted it shall be a good thing.
Harper was two things beyond everything he may have been to domestic Canadian policies. He was an American puppet in all foreign affairs. Worse, he was one of the world's biggest christian zionists. Seeing Israel as earth's most important element. Canada ran second to Israel in Harpers heart. He worshiped Zion like few non Jews ever could.
Anyone predicting on when the next False Flag will happen to get Canada back into the US fold?
sadly you may be correct,... we will have to deport Zios and Americans
The private media (though losing relevance) could begin running leading stories again about the 'benefits' of merging the CAD with the USD, to share the wealth-debt...
<snap!> The Amero!
The big thing... that could come, is that Canada has a law on the books that allows the Federal gov to print money for it's OWN use... not borrow... in 74 the zios got rid of this and made us borrow from zios... interesting to see if this will come back.. then Canada will zero federal debt... as it should be... a nation borrowing money from a zio bank??? defies logic... How can a zio bank have more monetary power than a nation as Canada..
if that happens the shit will fly... assasinations... everything... I am sure Goldman spies are in Ottawa now
Omega Man, you are all right!
Either that or the discounted Samuel Smith's stout is talking. Anyway, I'm raising a Kokanee. Cheers.
McGeer monetary policy. Served em admirably for 7 decades. Served many places. Sovereign places.
Up to 1974, exactly:

Difficult to imagine that JT is completely unaware of that "change"...
A few years ago on the subject he is quoted as saying that he,
"trusts Mark Carney."
Until I hear different I'll suppose he has the same opinion of Poloz.
For those praising Justin, watch this:

Now you will know why Canada is screwed. We now got another Dynasty family member in power, whom comes from shit family.
Don't be pissing on people's parades. How about I piss in your wishing well? If you were worth a damn, you'd be sending money to Jim Webb's campaign.
I prefer not to spend in anyones campaign. Best thing to do now is save as much as I can since Justin is going to screw us over even more. He is going to save the economy! But never explained how he is going to do it.
The only proven way to spur an economy is to import tens or hundreds of thousands of third world fundamentalist low IQ people. Everyone knows that.
Yeah. Didn't surprise me how Trudeau's ideas are similar to Harpers as I recall a couple of years ago of him in Uganda with people in the background banging rocks together, and him talking about needing to bring skilled workers to Canada.
Both are a joke.
I SHIT ON YOUR RAINBOW!
LMAO!
Now this is kind of technical trivia:
Do you realize, if you were standing on the shores of the Kootenai River, somewhere North of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, took a stick and flipped a cow patty into the river, it would float almost perfectly due North, straight into BC (famous for Chinese people, home of powerhouse CFUN radio station, and Kokanee beer).
Now you know.
Let that be a lesson to you.
I SHIT ON YOUR COW PATTY AND PISS IN YOUR KOOCHIETENAI RIVER!
...ok....raise you one Moose antler dipped in whale blubber
Bringing Canadian pilots home! They were going through Maple Syrup D.T.'s.....
If Justin legalizes pot and taxes the hell out of it, he'd have the money to do a lot of things without taking on more debt. He'll also both give the U.S. establishment a great big middle finger and become the best damn PM in a very long time. I can't imagine many things the U.S. gov. would hate more than mile after mile of fields of bud swaying in the prairie breeze to the north, kind of like tulips in Afghanistan. Well I guess growing it out on the prairies probably would'nt produce a very good product. But we could produce enough to get the whole world high. Just dreaming I guess.
Legalizing Pot wont bring in as much as you think. Especially for the fact we are a small country in terms of population. It will bring in some money, but that money will disapear like all others have in the past and a massive increase deficit.
Reminds me of Chris Rock. It is already legal here if you don't have too much of it. It's illegal, 'surprisingly', if you traffick it. Once of failed government can make money on it, they will.

For anyone who is interested check out the link below to Justin Trudeau's knockout boxing match against a conservative senator. Let's face it guys. like him or hate him he may be our only candidate for a fight with Putin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuSpZ3_5pTc
That fuck looks like a pansie as well as his country of Canuckistani "take off hoser eh?" morons. Putin is "da shit"
President V.V. Putin the climate change guy or some other Putin?
All I know is that Geraldo Rivera (Jerry Rivers) fucked his mutha'.
Russia's GDP is about the same as Canada's and look at all the nice stuff they have...Canada should make their own way and build their own cars and weapons... We had the Avro Arrow, most advanced plane of the day but the Yanks forced us to destroy it along with the blue prints... being a colony sucks... hopefully no more of that!
Harper sold the canada arm robotics tech too, no?
The functionally retarded in ussa voted for a fast talking commie shitskin liar, and that's what they got.
In time the Canuckistanis will realize as we did that they voted for a face and got an empty communist suit.
This guy will almost redefine communist idiot as much as the shitskin in chief here accomplished.
The commies have taken over the world. I want to move to the wilderness of Tazmania.
haha!

"America ponders Justin Trudeau’s victory and ogles photos of him shirtless" "On a slow news day south of the border, the victory Justin Trudeau, a handsome and liberal political heir, attracted a rare wave of coverage in the United States."http://www.thestar.com/news/federal-election/2015/10/20/america-ponders-...
well, the country was about 75% Conservative in 2011- now its just the opposite-Nobody twisted thier arm to vote liberal
Why would Canadian taxpayers want to continue spending lots of money on US military and economic disasters in Afghanistan and other countries in the ME? It appears this a no-brainer.
Harper didn't ask, he just did.
NEWSFLASH..... Justin Trudeau found nail gunned to Maple tree.
I would pay to see that! Really, I would!
Who do you have in mind? Several more years of the same?
Americans say 'liberal' like 'commie'... yet for all the trillions they have paid for zio wars to promote their 'interests' along with Israel they could have all the evil healthcare for everyone and maturnity leave..... most of the people who say this will drive up their 'taxes' but the arguement presented to them by the rich... and most who whine about 'liberals' are not rich... yet support the rich in keeping their wealth... all while slagging those who make their lives as equal... even Russia has healthcare for all.
Amazing how the oligarchs have brainwashed Americans..
healthcare bad... war debt good.
healthcare for all bad... paying 20 times more for private insurance companies good.
Be a patriot... ignore commies who want Government run healthcare... why that would cut out profits for insurance firms... how unAmerican...
A few points of GDP for social spendiing - evil commie.
Several percent For War machine - good.
Fuck the commies and fuck the fascists... and the kikes behind them both that pull all the strings.
Especially fuck the kikes!
never saw a hot one
I've seen a few hot yentas, but fuck them too! LOL
Thumbs up to Canadian PM

If you support rebels & terrorists then ..
YOU ARE TERRORISTS
West has lost all its moral values
Obama made quite a few promises,,, how many has he kept?
Most Canucks I have met seem to have a lot of common sense, might want to wait awhile before celebrating.
purging NEOCON policy is a good thing... but
Trudeau will ratify TPP (loss of sovereignty, NAFTA on steroids, rent seekers, generic drug wipeout, environment degredation, FASCISM)
Trudeau will be corporate and bankster friendly
one of Trudeau's economic advisors include Larry Summers "As Clinton’s Treasury Secretary, he backed banking deregulation, ignored industry fraud, supported its consolidation, promoted anything goes, and spearheaded Glass-Steagall repeal."
like Obama when he just got elected, it was known the direction his economic and foreign policy (ie. his handler's policy) would take by the advisers he retained, mostly NEOCON and Wall Street
hope and change dookie
Justin is sort of a "Stephen light"
there's an article on Countrerpuch about this
Fuckbama made a shitload of promises....
MANY he "kept". 99.9% of them fucking SUCK, but the fucker kept them.
Another hope trader said he would close Guantanamo. Now new playboyish idiot spewing meaningless utterances and the "real" tough man are running the suicidal show asking us blow ourselves to kingdom come in front of the mob on the orders of those who pay for their Armani suits.
We do not need a change of puppets, we need to change those recalcitrant regimes.
https://contrarianopinion.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/regime-change-we-can-...
Maybe Canada should have just elected Justin Biber.
Name the Canadian politician you would have chosen to elect.
hehe, nothing like a next door neighbour's politics to really shine a light on these trolls' exceptional ignorance regarding their biggest trading partner; on a supposed financial blog too.
Hahahaha!
it appears that they just did
Friends don't let friends illegally bomb the crap out of a sovereign state. The US should expect more this from Canada in the future, it is why they voted out neo-con Harper.
Actually, I think he might fulfill this promise quick. Unlike US liberals, Canadian liberals despise the military and would abolish it if they could. The only way this pledge doesn't get fulfilled is if the puppet masters yank his chain
Perhaps the Praetorian Guard will sit down with him after he is sworn in and tell him how the world runs.
oops he/she did it again...
Harper's support for the USG's regime-change wars probably had a lot more to do with his defeat than we're going to read about in neocon-controlled mainstream news.
lamestream media is controlled by the left. don't be a fucking asshole by saying stupid shit as you have just done.
or you can go blog on a union website or CNN or NY times or MSNBC - it's where the socialists like to hang out as I suspect you already know.
Neocons are socialists, genius.
Who do you think you're kidding, genius?
Gary Allen called, he wants his misnomers back.
Neocons: Fascists employing debt to enslave nations on behalf of a handful of international auto/plutocrats while poking eveyone elses' dicks into hornets' nests.
Socialists: seek to empower labour through labour's ownership of the means of production.End of.
Did you get your worthless political lexicon from a Mankiw Externalization 101 lecture?
Fascism is a form a socialism where businesses, especially corporations, retain 'title' to the means of production but the government controls it via tax, regulations and subsidies. The right to property means control, use and disposal. If you can't control your property, it isn't yours.
Neocons vary in their economic beliefs and change them according what the 'people' want - except when it comes to war. The Washington Post used to be 'liberal' - now it's neocon.
So in other words you're leaving Gary Allen hangin' on the line to answer "Yes Indeedy do da" to my last question.
Who is Gary Allen and why should I give a shit how he answers your question?
No, you left Gary Allen on hold, so you could answer my last question with a "Yessity do da"
FWIW: Gary Allen wrote "None Dare Call it Conspiracy", which actually isn't that bad of a read, just so long as you are willing to undergo the mental exercise of replacing all his (and apparently yours) tediously deliberate misnomers with the applicable terms, throughout the entire book.
Look, socialism, by definition, cannot be fascism. On the political spectrum they are opposites. Sure, a fascist may do anything to achieve his goal of fortifying a plutocracy, most definitely including pretending to be 'socialist'.
Eg. Equality before the law is 'socialist'. That doesn't in any way mean, imply, or assert that 'everyone is equal in all ways eternally', that some people can't be 'better' than others at something; Equality before the law means exactly what it says and nothing more. Fascists don't like that.
Eg. Employing a profitable SOE to pay the state's bills: socialist. SOE's are effectively owned/operated by labour, and labour has both direct and indirect control over these enterprises in social democracies. Direct, because someone has to pull the levers and push the buttons, and indirect through the elected legislature. Fascists certainly don't like SOE's that operate for the benefit of all, governed by all, with books transparent to all (who own it). Yes this gives the company for the people run by the people an advantage in whatever industry is chosen, but anything else is usually fair game.
My point is that just because some skeevy hearted little fascist uses socialist rhetoric to appeal to the labour he wants to exploit in order to entrench his plutocracy at their expense doesn't mean the one ideology is part of the other. It just means the sociopathic fascist is smart enough to know he's not going to get anywhere telling people the truth about his real plans.
It's called 'lip service': words; actions speak louder than them.
If a fascist turd calls himself a rose it doesn't mean he smells like one.
This 'fascism is a form of socialism' malarkey is getting a bit tired, no?
Now unmitigated capitalism, that can be one helluva mighty instrument in the hands of fascists.
If they are careful, mixed economies can { AND HAVE DONE. AND ARE DOING. FOR DECADES} pay the nation's bills, leaving the people to do whatever the hell they want, rather than be dictated to by foreign creditors.
Of course, even in mixed economies there is rarely anything to stop the individual from signing his name away, because mixed.
Anyway...
And stop interfering in Ukraine pouring money into fund thugs and killers in Kiev. Harpers been a national disaster, Canada's Blair.
GTFO of "Ukraine?" That won't happen if plastic Uke and new MP Chrystia Freeland has anything to do with it.

Nothing a false flag can't fix
looks like barry got his boy in there - he's looking pretty fem - bet barry likes that when he's honking on barry's boh-boh.
We'll see in due course whether this guy will do what his butt buddy to the south did after he was elected. Kept Guantanamo open, stayed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and launched a few more wars to round it off.
Trudeau already has a run on the board. He's cancelled the F 35.
If he's anything like Obama, one of the following will happen:
1) He'll send the fighter jets back a few years later, but his supporters will still credit him for withdrawing them.
2) 8 years from now, they'll still be there, despite continuing to promise to withdraw them every year.
3) He'll bring the pilots home, but leave the jets in the middle of the desert.
The only thing I see different in him and brown clown is he isn't a fudge packer, or packee as the situation warrents. Other than that, very very similar.
Boy, have you a lot to learn. Trudeau is a second-generation tapette. His real wife is Gerald Butts, his principal advisor, college roommate and writer of all the drama teacher's lines.
Liberals kept Caanada out of the Iraq disater. Now in Syria a new Liberal leader sees the truth about ISIS and ask why should we bomb America's puppets. My Canada has Trudeau as PM!.
In his spare time, PM Trudeaux likes to go out dancing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR7y7g8h1y4
Stopped-clock syndrome. The Liberal Party of Canada has never been a friend of freedom and is no friend of Russia now she is free. Notorious Plastic Uke Chrystia Freeland will be a minister in Justin's government.
The big show of pulling out of the war against ISIS is a bone being tossed to the Muslims who helped the Liberals drive the NDP from Toronto, and a slap at Israel (Pierre, like most French Canadians, was a lifelong Jew-hater). DC is prepared to accept Justin's grandstanding---they don't really need Ottawa's help, and Riyadh considers Canada a competitor and an enemy, just as Russia is.
About the only upside is that Goldman alumnus Mark Carney will never be Canada's PM.
I really like some of the people from Canada, To be fair there are exceptions everywhere but GENERALLY BC, SK and Alberta people were some of the warmest and well educated liberal thinkers I have ever met and I worked with many. Superior educational quality for most... Love snowboarding there. The golden triangle is a whole different world you can keep walled off from my interaction..merde..aloof with a stench of racial and class superiority. Vansterdam was a cesspool of filth like many tourist cities in the USSA. I did like the Hempire company VW bug though ! One block off the main tourist drag and you have needles in the alley. Too much glass and highrises- pacific rim invasion with the correspondingly cold zero eye contact. Drinking out with nuffies will change your life for the better if you can comprehend what they are saying. My take, your individual experience may vary. God bless Canada, at least the good ol' parts that remain. Love from the incomprehensible excitable states of what was America, PS: Almost every area outside of Vancouver proper was stunningly beautiful with friendly people. Quebec was ABSOLUTELY the low point of the triangle.
