Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Canada to End ISIS Bombing by February 22

HeadlineFeb 09, 2016

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will end its bombing mission against the self-proclaimed Islamic State in Iraq and Syria by February 22, fulfilling his campaign pledge. Canada will withdraw six fighter jets but keep two surveillance planes in the region and triple the number of soldiers training Iraqi Kurdish forces. Trudeau spoke at a news conference in Ottawa Monday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: “The lethal enemy of barbarism isn’t hatred, it’s reason. And the people terrorized by ISIL every day don’t need our vengeance, they need our help.”
