The Heat

Canada ends its airstrikes in Syria as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to cement his foreign policy agenda for the country. So what’s Canada’s new global strategy?

After nearly 10 years of a Conservative government in Canada, Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is charting his own course. He announced Canada will stop airstrikes against ISIL in Syria. Trudeau also pledged to re-engage with the United Nations, even boldly stating Canada’s desire to sit on the U.N. Security council.
