A new low for the Canadian Liberals
Most people understand that it’s the job of our government to protect our country from the threat of terrorism.
And then there are people like Liberal MP Judy Sgro.
Unbelievably, Sgro seems to think that ISIL-inspired terrorists aren't to blame for their unspeakable acts of terror in Canada. Instead, she blames Prime Minister Harper, saying, “If they’re coming here it’s because he put us in that position.”*
She also shows a lack of understanding on what the fight against ISIL is about, saying the only reason Canada joined our allies in Iraq is to “instill fear in Canadians.”*
It is deplorable that Liberals refuse to blame terrorists for terrorism, and instead aim for political points by somehow blaming our Prime Minister.
Not only do Judy Sgro’s comments reveal a stunning ignorance of current global events, they cheapen our political discourse. At a time when all parliamentarians should be coming together to condemn terrorism and stand behind our troops, the Liberals choose instead to divide people and try to score political points.
The truth is that ISIL has declared war on all free countries, and has repeatedly singled out Canada. Pretending it is not so, or trying to lay blame for partisan reasons, is not going to make it go away.
