O Canada—What Have You Done?!
I can’t believe Crime Minister Harper has dragged Canada down to such a despicable level. I’m in shock. The fake terrorism war. Thanks for sharing, Number One. ~ BP

Canadian CF-18 jets conduct 1st airstrike against ISIS target in Syria
TORONTO – The Canadian military has conducted its first airstrike in Syria Wednesday against an Islamic State group target, according to the Department of National Defence.
Two CF-18 Hornets, using precision-guided munitions, participated in a bombing raid on an ISIS base near Ar-Raqqah, located in northwest Syria, the department said in a release.
A total of 10 coalition aircraft, including six from the U.S., took part in the airstrike.
A senior government source told Global News, U.S.-led coalition forces launched the attack on the base after it became clear Syrian government forces were either unable or unwilling to initiate their own offensive against ISIS forces.
“This first airstrike under the expanded mandate demonstrates our Government’s firm resolve to tackle the threat of terrorism against Canada and to promote international security and stability,” Minister of National Defence Jason Kenney said in a release.
Defence Minister Jason Kenney confirmed on Twitter that CF-18s struck an ISIS base in Ar-Raqqah.
