On September 3, 2015, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper commented on the drowning death of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, who drowned when a boat carrying migrants capsized on its way from Turkey to Greece.
He expressed his sadness at the child's death, and reminded his audience that blame for this tragedy and the migrant crisis lies with ISIS.
Harper also talked about Canada's role in the military coalition fighting ISIS, and the humanitarian aid Canada is sending to Syria and elsewhere.
While Canada has "the most generous immigration and refugee" program in the world, Harper added that ideally, migrants wouldn't be driven from their homelands in the first place. That is where military intervention comes in, to stop this kind of violence at the source.

Adam Rule: Canada is certainly not to blame for the plight of these refugees. Why don’t you start with Obama who pulled all the troops out of Iraq despite what George Bush had predicted if that happened. He hated Bush so much & also to pump himself up as the big hero “not” that despite the warning he went ahead & that left a vacuum for the Terrorists to pursue their agenda. Enter ISIS this disgusting, savage, in humane piece of crap take advantage of the situation, because there were no troops there to fight back & this is where we’re at today.
The left, the media, Mulcair, Trudeau, THEY are the disgrace. Don’t tell me they are ignorant of the many other horrors involving children by the hands of ISIS. The death of a child is always extra gut wrenching, but as someone below pointed out, the only reason this one is getting so much air time is because it was a convenient weapon to bash Harper with.
What Stephen Harper had to say about it was a perfect response. I hope it has the desired affect. I hope the left go off looking for something shiny, somewhere else. Everything they try to come up with just sort of sizzles out, and for good reason.
Mr. Mulcair just went automatically to the talking point the boy died because of Mr. Harper and only because of Mr. Harper. No sense of principle there, just the use of a dead child for political points.
Junior, of course, first went to his adoptive Mommy for approval, then came out with the same hypocrisy.
This is one reason Mr. Harper keeps surprising the regressive left, he speaks from principle. He can be as boring as he wants, the average Joe likes the fact that he does. Same as the Wildrose in Alberta has a steady, non-flashy leader who does not stray from his convictions.
But the regressive left and so-called political pundits don’t get this, because they do not have principles and assume no one else does either. Hence Mr. Harper continues to surprise them.

Watch the video that Time Ball has in his article.
Personal attacks on Mulcair and Trudeau? I think by his actions and policies Mulcair shows his communist leanings and by the same measure Trudeau is a dim-twit and out of his league with Harper and Mulcair. I’m not even going to comment on Maggie other than to say, old news. Anyone that was alive during her tenure in 24 Sussex is familiar with her indiscretions.
And Lissie May, go home to the US of A where you were hatched.
When I listen to Mulcair speak I hear anger, and a lack of true understanding of the situation in Canada and around the world.
When I listen to Harper, I hear intelligence, compassion and experience.
It is obvious who is the real leader. It is obvious who is the only qualified candidate for the PMO.
Ditto your comments.
This is a direct attack by PIG MULCAIR AND PIG TROODO on our military and those who die serving this country.
BURN IN HELL MULCAIR YOUR FRAUD – YOU COMMUNIST PIG!!! BURN IN HELL TROODO – YOU STUPID FK!!!
