Justin Trudeau and Anthony Housefather

Karen Ludwig: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks in the House of Commons on Tuesday, June 14, 2016, according to Huffington Post Canada. The Opposition motion — tabled by interim Tory leader Rona Ambrose — won the support of New Democrats, Bloc MPs, and four Liberal backbenchers: Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Anthony Housefather, Borys Wrzesnewskyj, and Karen Ludwig. His decision appeared to back up what Trudeau told the House minutes earlier: that partisan politicians shouldn't determine what is or isn't genocide. It was defeated by the Grit majority in a vote of 166 to 139, sparking shouts of "Shame!" from some Tories. She said that while allies in the U.S. House of Representatives and European Union state the obvious — that "ISIS' crimes against religious minorities, women and children, gays and lesbians" are genocide — the Liberal government refuses do the same. "If all our allies can find the moral resolve why can't our prime minister " she asked. In a heated question period shortly before the vote, Ambrose hammered Trudeau for hiding behind "weasel words" and lacking "moral clarity" when it comes to the terror group.
