Carleton University and President Bashar Assad

President Bashar Assad: Some Syrian-Canadian students at Carleton University are accusing the governing Conservatives of allying with the regime under President Bashar Assad by launching airstrikes in the country which is still caught in a bloody civil war, according to Metro News. A lot of our families died. We became refugees. We lost families, we lost money, we lost houses, we lost everything and Canadian fighter jets could be days away from bombing targets in Syria, but opposition leaders Tom Mulcair and Justin Trudeau aren t the only ones against the federal government plan to expand its mission. I feel like us Syrians are getting betrayed. Why would we work with these kind of people? said Marwah Halak, a communications and political science student and president of the Syrian Association of Ottawa. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
