Justin Trudeau and the Liberals made a lot of promises during the election campaign including these:

1. Pull Canada (and all six of its fighter bombers) out of a combat role against ISIS.
2. Repeal some parts of Canada's anti terrorism law.
3. Admit 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada.

Since the Liberals now control Parliament, they could pass legislation or the Trudeau government could issue executive orders to make these promises come true within weeks.

It will be interesting to see whether Trudeau takes any action on these promises anytime soon. I don't think he will.

The latest news is that the Trudeau Government is standing firm on it's commitment to end Canada’s participation in the U.S.-led bombing mission against ISIL and to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada by the end of the year:
