NDP Liberals

NDP Liberals: That response is in line with what other countries — including the U.S. — are doing, as is Canada active role in the military campaign against the militants of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, Harper insisted, according to Hamilton Spectator. The NDP or Liberals would actually make things worse by withdrawing from that mission, Harper said. "Imagine, first day of office, that we would have a prime minister who would say to the United States, 'We are pulling out of the joint military mission against the Islamic State and why Because you, Mr. And while his debate rivals hearkened back to a different era in foreign relations, Harper stubbornly insisted that the steps Canada has taken on terrorism, the environment and trade are manifestations of the new world order. "We're not living in a different era, we're living in an era that is very difficult," he said during the trade segment of the Munk debate on foreign policy, echoing an earlier line on Canada response to the Syrian refugee crisis.

The facade slipped away briefly during a heated exchange with Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau over the government recent decision to revoke the Canadian citizenship of one of the men convicted of terrorism offences as a member of the so-called Toronto 18. "You devalue the citizenship of every Canadian in this place and in this country when you break down and make it conditional for anybody ... we have a rule of law in this country and you can't take away citizenship because you don't like what someone does," Trudeau charged. "A few blocks from here, would have detonated bombs that would have been on a scale of 9-11," Harper retorted. "This country has every right to revoke the citizenship of an individual like that."
