will trudeau's liberals keep up the air strikes?re the issues that canadians had on their mind when they headed to the polls yesterday. diane francis joins us now, she is editor at large of canada's national post. she is also the author of merger of the century, why canada and america should become one country. jeffery is former editor and chief journalist for cbc radio, and david is a political analyst and the vice president of citizens relations international. diane let me start with you. what were canadians arguing amongst themselves as election day approached? it was very high turnout. >> it was a high turnout. it was pretty much a dead heat until the last couple of weeks when trudeau really pulled away from the pack. people were quite upset with steen harper. and canada is a country in the last 90 years the liberal party has dominated the prime minister's office. there have only been four elected conservative governments and only one has lasted more than one term as a majority. so this is liberal country, and they call themselv

it's surprising that we have this trudeau senior trudeau junior. there are definite parallels to john f. kennedy. at the same time, trudeau was more about establishing an identity for canada, bringing canada into the modern age as a country that was open to immigration. ,hat was diverse, multicultural that had a lot less influence over personal behavior. i believe it was trudeau senior who said government has no is this in the bedroom of the nations -- bedrooms of the nation. he helped to change canadian identity. i think this new trudeau is having an effect on canadian identity. i think it is a reaction to the -- almost mean-spirited we had with stephen harper. host: it stephen harper and the conservatives concede early on that he and his party were going to lose? guest: no concession whatsoever. host: you could see a different tone in the campaign. guest: internally to tell they were hanging on with their fingernails. internally they knew that stephen harper was not well-liked. there really was not a lot to take on the harper government at a poli

the liberal party led by justin trudeau swept into office. they not only won the popular vote and the right to set up a new government, they captured a majority in parliament. tad he spoke saying he intended to keep a campaign pledge to withdraw fighter jets. john terrett has more on how canada's turn to the u.s. affects the rest of the world. >> reporter: less than 24 hours after a stunning victory, incoming prime minister justin trudeau reaffirmed a main campaign promise, and it drives a wedge between ottawa and washington d.c. he told president obama he intends to pull canadian jets from the u.s. coalition bombing i.s.i.l. the move came in a telephone call. >> they made an important contribution thus far and we are appreciative of them lending their talent and skill and expertise to that effort. we hope that we can continue to count on their ongoing support for this important mission. >> reporter: monday night justin trudeau saw a stunning landslide victory sweeping his liberal party party back to power. >> on behalf of 35 million canadian

in the end, it benefited justin trudeau so people could meet justin trudeau across canada.eople in the u.s. must laugh in the here 70 days is long. we're talking about a year and a half presidential campaign. but can you talk about how the ndp fell back and are there lessons here for people in the united states? >> yes. is threes is -- this factors, in my view. at one point in the election campaign, in fact, the ndp was significantly ahead, were leading. it looked like people were saying, will care is the one to beat harper. three things happen. as you pointed out in your introduction, the ndp moved to the right on fiscal policy. they said they were going to balance the budget. the reason they did that, i don't think it was an actual complete moved to the right that we saw in ontario where the ndp did that and lost, i think it was just on -- and that area, but that is a pretty big area will stop it is where the media tends to define politics is economic policy. they moved to the right to they would not get attacked as they usually do. so that demoralized some of the base, i

grasps trudeau. >> trudeau is closer in ideology to president obama than stephen harper is, but thatoesn't mean that he and the white house will see eye to eye on everything. canada is the united states' largest trading partner, but canada's oil-based economy is hurting. trudeau plans to turn that around by running a $7 billion deficit to pay for infrastructure spending and stimulate the economy. and that will help canadians to afford to buy more u.s.-made products. the pipeline, running 400 miles from canada to nebraska. but he's less than a cheerleader far it than harp, an oil man, has been. also willing to work with the u.s. on environmental policies but the issue that concerns the u.s. the most, the fight against isil. canada has fought against isil. but trudeau sustained his vow to pull canada oust u.s.-led coalition. >> they have made a contribution thus far, and we're appreciative of their talent and expertise of that effort. and we hope that we can continue to count on their ongoing support for this important mission. >> reporter: and whether trudeau can follow through on the

trudeau, why, mr. c 61.u vote for bill defend our rights and freedoms is what the liberal party has stood for. that is so we did successfully in the years following the 9/11 attacks. we brought forward responsible legislation, went through many amendments and tweaks before we got that right. but we got the balance right. canadians expect their government to do that in a way that does not ferment -- foment fear or play up divisions. mr. mulcair has said three different positions. his initial position was to change its. then to repeal parts of it. now, it is to scrap it entirely. the one thing he says is that we do not need to do anything more to protect our security than we have right now. he has not put any options forward. mr. harper does not think we need to do anything more to protect our rights and freedoms. in a free society, we know that we have to ensure that any time we give greater powers to our police or national security services, we are matching that with an increase of our protection. that

justin trudeau is a youthful candidate himself. he was promising a sweeping distinctive policy agenda that appeal to young people. a different ethnic group as well. there are large immigrant populations here that are crucial when it comes to general elections in canada. i was just talking to a man who voted conservative. the population did not vote for the liberal party. young people in the country chose the liberal party. that they could identify with justin trudeau more than someone like he could. that could be part of the explanation. laura: thank you. nations has a new warning about the span of the migrant crisis. half a million people have arrived in greece this year. any are coming to europe from syria. an estimated 35,000 have been displaced by the upsurge in fighting around the city of aleppo. our correspondent reports from the border between turkey and syria. >> the russian arsenal and mighty firepower has brought about a furious return of president assad's forces in syria. new fronts in the fighting, bring fresh hell on t

trudeau. >> why did you vote for bill c-351? >> canadians expect us to do two things: protect our security and defend our rights and freedoms. that's what the liberal party stood for. that's what we did successfully in the years following the 9/11 attacks. we brought forward responsible legislation. we did get that balance right. canadians expect their government to do that in a way that doesn't foment fears or play up divisions. mr. mulcair has had three different positions on c-51. his initial position was to change it. then a few weeks later it was to repeal parts of it. now it's to scrap it entirely. he says we don't need to do anything more to protect our security than we have right now, because he has not put any options forward. mr. harper doesn't think we need to do anything more to protect our rights and freedom, where is in a free society we know that we have to ensure that any time we give greater powers to our police or investigative or national security services, we are matching t

as we say, justin trudeau - the leader it the son of the canada's arguable famous perform pierre trudeau, who then he came to power engendered trudeau mania, and there's a certainly amount of that going on again, all these years later in 2015. i gather we have a chance to look at elections canada website. at the moment elections canada and the main broadcasters are predicting that the liberal party will have a majority in the commence. over the 170 mark. the present figure is 186. >> the new democrats who really hope to come out of this a lot better, the policy can be espoused to bernie sanders. they had a terrible night. the block, a party peculiar to the francophone province, with 10 seats and the green's with one. the important thing is what is justin trudeau going to do with his mandate in the house of commons. the answer is he is going to raise taxes on the canadian people. helle run up a $7 billion american deficit in the canadian economy. that sounds a lot to you and me, but in a 2-$3 trillion economy, it's not that much money. he intends to balance the budget in canada by 2019, b

justin trudeau, son of pierre trudeau, his opponent. john terret is there. hi john. >> i don't think 9 really anticipated this. the liberals are ahead by 19 seats in atlantic canada alone. conservatives down six seats and we're about six hours before the polls close in quebec, and ontario and british columbia. these canadian provinces will wrap up their voting and we'll have a pretty good idea where this is going. as we're heading towards a liberal majority government in the house of commons in ottawa, the canadian capital. let's remind ourselves now of somesome of the key politicians in this race, their parties and their policies. the longest most expensive and volatile federal election in canada's history is reaching its climax. the conservatives, leader, current prime minister steven harper, been on the job almost a decade and personally unpopular. polls suggest 60 to 70% of canadians wand him gone if not the party himself. harper's accused of abandoning government and taking too much power for himself. his chief opponent is justin peru utrudeau. head of

[ cheers and applause ] >>> peggy mason is a former canadian ambassador to the united nations. she says trudeau faces a tough challenge when it comes to foreign policy. >> what we will see with the trudeau government is a return to actually what prior to harper was a bipartisan tradition of canada working very hard to be a constructive multi-lateralists in putting forward diplomatic solutions. so with that as the background we go to one of the most difficult areas for prime minister elect trudeau, and that is israel-palestinian. he emphasized that

justin trudeau will be the next prime minister. >> justin trudeau, head of the liberal party, similarmocrats. he's the son of one of canada's most famous prime ministers, pierre trudeau. justin plans to raise taxes and run a $7 billion deficit to kickstart the recession-bound economy and he says help the middle class. >> trevor: oooh! a $7 billion deficit. oooh? >> that's so adorable. america would probably drop $7 billion on a clock that calculates their deficit. ( laughter ) which is $439 billion. take that, you fiscally sound minded moose bangers. of course, trudeau's policies weren't necessarily his most attractive feature. >> he is 43 years old. he's a very good-looking young man. >> he's undeniably a good-looking guy. >> very handsome man. >> he is very, very good looking. i think in america he might just win the election on his looks alone. >> trevor: yes, his looks alone could win him the u.s. election because looks are everything in u.s. politics. if you want to be even considered for president you have to be smoking hot.

instead, they voted for change and set aside concerns they may have had about trudeau's vicious -- trudeau'sious spending plans. they voted for a new leader, a new generation. really, i don't think it economic woes turnout out to be that much of an issue in this election. alix: one of the biggest issues in canada is a lower oil prices. so much of canada's oil remains landlocked. part of the deal will be to get country.ut of the transportation pipelines, for example. what is the confidence in trudeau's government to do that? pretty low actually. trudeau has made it very clear that he is far more environmentally conscious than harper was. harper hailed from calgary, the base of the canadian energy industry. trudeau is only one of the three major political party leaders who talked about a national climate change plan. such a thing that harper always suggested was the role of provinces and not the federal government. moreover, trudeau is fairly bearish towards pipeline construction. keystone, byr of keystone is in the hands of president obama down in washington. we don't think it is going to be

prime minister trudeau says we want a constructive approach here. they are going to be keeping the trainers, military trainers on the ground training the peshmerga, they're going to keep them but focus on syrian refugees, promises to bring in 25,000 refugee, more humanitarian assistance. now what will be interesting to see is whether they will also start to really get behind u.n. backed peace negotiation. trudeau's passion is we will reopen iran, we expect he will want iran at the table. part of the problem is countries like canada saying key players should not be at the table during negotiation. this will be interesting to see whether they focus much more on the diplomatic side. let's face it, the coalition action is not going well. >> the climate conference, peggy mason, is coming up in december in paris and harper's government was criticized for its stance on the environment. how does justin trudeau plan to change that? >> that is going to be a quick test for him. that conference indianapolis coming up so soon. he has emphasized that canada wants

justin trudeau is talking about closer ties with the u.s.t's difficult to know what that actually means but one thing is for certain his election puts him much closer on environmental issues to the policies by the president obama. having said that, justin trudeau is in favor of the keystone pipeline and in favor of the trans pacific trade deal signed a couple weeks ago in atlanta and puts him at odds with a democratic administration that might make it in the white house a year in november. clinton or sanders we will have to wait and see. the other thing that he is promising to do is pull canada jets away from the u.s. led coalition which is bombing i.s.i.l. targets this the middle east and this distinct change there, del. >> before i let you go resounding defeat for steven harper and conservative party, what was the reaction? >> prime minister harper we understand now was tipped off many weeks ago this was likely to happen and in his concession speech last night in calgory where his constituency or writing as they call it in canada he was gr

liberal leader justin trudeau promised changes people seemed to respond to. one of the areas he's promising change is immigration, was a hot button issue during the election. trudeau promised to lead a more generous, tolerant and inclusive government compared to stephen harper's conservative one. canada is a country of immigrants. the plight of syrian refugees became a focus of debate during this campaign. trudeau's father pierre was in power for 15 years before he retired in the mid '80s and his legacy is that he embraced multiculturalism. he passed a key immigration act in 1976 removing restrictions on new canadians so that image helped justin trudeau as well. the question is, will he, can he deliver on his promises. people are expecting a lot from him because of his name, because of his legacy, but he's young, like you said he's only 43 so some people consider him perhaps too inexperienced in politics. he promised sweeping changes to immigration policy. he says he will double the family reunification limits that allow people to bring their parents and gran
