ANTALYA, TURKEY—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s working to ensure the safety of Canadians in the wake of the
Paris attacks.
“Obviously the safety and security of Canadians is a priority for me and my government. I’ve been speaking with our minister of public safety, been speaking with the various police and security agencies to ensure that Canadians are kept safe,” Trudeau said Sunday.
“Obviously it’s a topic we are engaging with here with the other leaders as well to ensure continued safety for our citizens,” he said.
The issue of security, terrorism and the plight of refugees fleeing violence all promise to dominate discussions as the leaders of the world’s largest 20 economies gather in the seaside Turkish resort city of Antalya for a two-day summit.
Trudeau, who is attending his first international summit as prime minister, spoke on the topic only when prompted by a reporter during a meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto Sunday morning.

His reserved comments were in sharp contrast to the hardened tone many world leaders have brought to this summit in confronting the threat of Islamic State extremists blamed for Friday’s deadly assaults in Paris.
During a meeting with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan ahead of the summit start here, U.S. President Barack Obama branded the terrorist incident as an “attack on the civilized world.”
“As we I’m sure each said to (French) President (François) Hollande and the French people, we stand in solidarity with them in hunting down the perpetrators of this crime and bringing them to justice,” Obama said.
Erdogan had previously come out strongly in favour of battling terrorists, warning that “we are at a point where words are not enough to fight terrorism.”
Foreign Affairs is advising Canadians who are travelling to France to exercise a “high degree of caution” due to an elevated threat of terrorism.
Trudeau made his diplomatic debut Sunday morning with a bilateral meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo. In that meeting, the prime minister pledged $14 million for infrastructure spending in Indonesia.
Later in the morning, he met with Peña Nieto, of Mexico.
He also spoke to a G20 business forum where he highlighted the themes of his election campaign, including big investments in infrastructure and boosting the middle class.
The prime minister was “mobbed” for selfies at the event, according to a Canadian Press report.

It is disturbing to know our own homeless can't find cots in freezing temps. And refugees drive around in late model cars , heck the insurance has to be more then people on welfare get a month.

How about asking Muslim folks to stop bringing more children in the world than they can look after, they should not be allowed to land in western countries and be a drain on the economies the people have worked to build and who maintain a modest population.

The analysts are blaming the Paris attacks on intelligence failures. It kind of takes the wind out of the sails of those who are trying to cast blame on the innocent refugees fleeing for their lives with their families.

@spiritofwicca And if you believe the politically correct aren't already refocusing this massacre to keep the flow of refugees coming to the west I have some swamp land to sell you in Florida. With their families , most are single able bodied men,
@spiritofwicca How do we know they're all innocent? Ask Sweden what it thinks about things nowadays. Tens of thousands of people heading their way. A swarm, with some true demons among them.

He disgraced Canada by surrendering , the one thing I would like to know is what went on during the meeting he held for two hours with Imams in Saskatoon. What did he promise them?

@The Defencerests He didn't disgrace anyone. Our contribution to the bombing mission is miniscule. There are better ways in which we can support the cause than with six old planes.

I think the best thing for us to realize is none of us know what is the best way to move forward. Remember the knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, a larger scale attack even closer to home, that lead to laws restricting our freedoms, stupid wars in countries we weren't prepared for, and the creation of newer and apparently more brash enemies? Yes, that last one was a reference to ISIS. Now, everyone is right back in that same frame of mind.
I don't know what is the best course of action, but I do find...

@PISCATOR Considering the people who attacked our own were our own, I'd say dealing with the grassroots issues here first would've prevented the only attacks we've had.
Bombing Syria in no way shape or form would have affected those outcomes. It's an indisputable fact.
We have let our best friends go to war before and not joined. See Vietnam.

@PISCATOR Canada does NOT need to be told what to do by the U.S. We are a sovereign nation and we will make decisions that are in our best interests.

@spiritofwicca I'm not saying we need to be told. We should have said it ourselves already.
