Canada to withdraw fighter jets from Syria and Iraq strikes
Canadian Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau has confirmed he will withdraw Canadian fighter jets from the air strikes against Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria.
He informed US President Barack Obama of his decision hours after leading his Liberal Party to victory in the polls.
As part of his election campaign, Mr Trudeau pledged to bring home the CF-18 fighter jets that were deployed to the region until March 2016.
He has not yet given a timescale.
Justin Trudeau's Liberals swept to power in Monday's election, ending nearly a decade of Conservative rule under Stephen Harper.
Mr Trudeau, an ex-high-school teacher, is the eldest son of late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
(continued,if you were cynical - which having lived on Earth fifty odd years I am, you'd see a ploy in maximising ME chaos and avoiding restoring order - so the oil price recovers....all in Canada's interest...don't expect them to take on Syrian refugees in numbers so quick...plenty of talk for many months to come with them?)
