Canada to withdraw fighter jets from Syria and Iraq strikes

Under the new Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has now decided that he will withdraw the fighter jets from Iraq and Syria in which were fighting against the Islamic State. There is no timetable on when they will get pulled but it was the old Prime Minister's idea to keep the jets there until March of 2016. Also a few other things were bought up on what the new PM wants to do. Some notables are to legalize marijuana, cut taxes for the middle class, and take in more Syrian refugees. The previous PM was more on the conservative side unlike Trudeau who appears to be more aggressive, at least in the beginning. He also wants to communicate with the US on how to improve their environment and decrease emissions. He is definitely looking to change the Canadian mentality as he is quoted saying "Canada has lost its compassionate and constructive voice in the world over the past 10 years". We will see what happens.
