listen, mr. Mulcair is asking some important questions....Harpers quick leap to support the US is not in Canadas interest...this is a dangerous war to jump into...no one in Canada will benefit, and, i doubt anyone in the current country of victimization will either. Thomas Mulcair To me Oct 7 at 11:11 AM You have contacted me in the past about peace and national security issues—and Id like to update you on some important developments. Tonight, Parliament will vote on Stephen Harpers desire to send Canadian soldiers to war in Iraq. However, there is no reason to believe that six months of bombing will succeed where more than ten years of occupation by the US military failed. Watch my speech here tinyurl/mk9k8fs to hear more about why the NDP cant support this combat mission. And, help to spread my message by: 1. Sharing this email with your friends and family 2. Posting a link to my speech on social media Mr. Harper has failed to answer the most basic questions on why Canada is signing-on to this war, such as: - What are this missions objectives and how do we define success? - What rules of engagement are in place to avoid civilian causalities? - How much will this mission cost? - How many years are we willing to be embroiled in Iraq? - How can we effectively contain ISIS without deploying substantial ground forces or expanding into Syria? - What is our exit strategy? - Do we have a plan to take care of our veterans after we leave Iraq? Canada needs effective leadership. New Democrats think that we should be using every diplomatic, humanitarian and financial resource to respond to the human tragedy unfolding on the ground, and helping to strengthen the political institutions and security capabilities that Iraq and Syria need to achieve lasting peace. Canada rushing to war is not the answer. All the best,
