The new Canadian Prime Minister Justin Pierre James Trudeau is off to a good start. Just one day after being elected he called US President Barack Obama on the phone and told him that he'd be pulling Canadian troops out of Syria.I guess he doesn't want to be fighting America's wars.

  For him to leave troops in Syria would be a lose-lose situation. Over a year ago the US illegally invaded the sovereign nation of Syria and began bombing ISIL. Then Obama was audaciously declaring that he will defeat ISIL. Within a year ISIL has expanded in both size and number. When in reality all America really wanted to do was to topple the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad.The USA has used Orwellian tactics like demonizing al-Assad (they use this tactic quite often) by portraying him as a brutal dictator. The USA had been trying to topple al-Assad now for almost four years. If al-Assad was such a brutal dictator,after that long a period of time he would have more than likely been toppled. Obviously he has enough supporters to resist the advances of the arrogant Americans. All the Americans did this past year was destroy the Syrian infrastructure.And Stephen Harper,Trudeau's predecessor being the lap dog that he is was happy to follow the USA with bombing campaigns. Now al-Assad has asked his long time ally Russia to help fight ISIL.  Russia has done more damage to ISIL in just two weeks than the Americans did in over a year.

  If the Canadian troops were to remain assisting the Americans in Syria the only thing Trudeau would have given the Canadian people was Canadians returning to the land of the maple leaf in body bags.

  Good go Justin.
