Tuesday, October 7, 2014 will go down as a day of ignominy for the Liberal Party of Canada.

That they still haven’t found a face-saving way to fix that blunder is now Canada’s disgrace.
Camille Carrier, the mother of Maude Carrier, who was killed in a terror attack by Islamic fundamentalists in Burkina Faso on Friday, said she is ashamed of Canada. “I have plenty of friends in France who are ashamed of us,” she said, as she called for military action against jihadist forces.
