Syria and Harper Government

Nusra Front ISIS: In addition, in June 2013, Harper government chaired the FSG Working Group on Sanctions at a conference in Ottawa and made life for Syrian civilians even more unbearable, causing many more to flee the country, according to Hamilton Spectator. With its further commitment to to the U.S.-led military mission to Syria and Iraq, Harper government might accurately be placed in the thick of the regime-change operation in Syria, and is responsible in large part for the refugee crisis. Over the course of this five-year war, the mercenaries, mostly non-Syrians, morphed into the Nusra Front and ISIS, both al-Qaida affiliates, and drove more than 10 million Syrians from their homes. As a consequence, the very least Canada could do now is to open its doors wide to Syrian refugees. Ken Stone, Hamilton Coalition To Stop The War Given recent moves by the USA and Turkey to escalate the crisis in Syria with "safe" zones along the Turkish border, we support renewed UN peace talks in Geneva and the NDP call to bring Canadian troops and equipment home from Syria and Iraq soon.
