CBC News: Iraq mission: Stephen Harper says Canada won't ask Syria's consent for strikes
Debate to happen Thursday as original 6-month mission's end date approaches
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has laid out his case for Canada to renew its participation in the coalition fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The prime minister is proposing to expand and extend Canada's initial six-month military mission in Iraq and asking for support for an additional one-year air mission against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
WNU Editor: I am a Canadian citizen .... and I am not comfortable with this new mission. I just do not see the end game ... and quite frankly .... I do not think anyone knows what the end game will be for this part of the world. But it appears that Canada is now committed to an expansion in its participation in the air war against IS .... at least for one more year.

Canadian economy is definitely tanking and Harper is playing the terrorist card perfectly! Election coming soon and Canadians need a distraction from our economic crisis soon to unfold.
I have a grandson in the Canadian military and it peeves me to no end that Harper might send him to Iraq.
