New Democrat and Military Force

military force: Speaking at a seniors’ residence in Brossard, Que., on Friday, the New Democrat said the gut-wrenching plight of a drowned three-year-old Syrian boy whose family had aspired to come to Canada is not a matter to be solved by military force, according to The Chronicle Herald. A day earlier, Harper made an impassioned case that Canada must confront the root cause of the refugee crisis by continuing its aerial attacks on fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Mulcair dismissed military action, specifically Canada current bombing campaign in Syria and Iraq, as a solution to the flood of refugees that is overwhelming Europe and galvanizing worldwide public attention. When I hear the answers from the prime minister, saying, ‘Well, more war is the solution,’ well, no amount of military action would have saved that child on that beach, Mulcair said of Alan Kurdi, whose tiny body was photographed washed up in the surf after a failed attempt by his family to flee Turkey for Greece. Canada done it in the past and we can do it again. Let start acting to save lives immediately. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
