With the dawn of Canada's new administration under Justin Trudeau many changes seems to be on the horizon. One change that has already been enacted is the campaign promise that Canada would withdraw their jets from a campaign against ISIL. Though President Obama appears to have taken this declaration calmly, this action would drastically change Canada's role in the international community.
