I’m not sure how everytime a war breaks out in an African country there is suddenly thousands of Canadians needing to be evacuated. Problem is we hand out perm residency like candy to refugees who never live here or pay taxes, but the minute they need serious medical attention or to get removed from a conflict zone suddenly they’re Canadian needing to be rescued.
You should probably buy some common sense from a local Walmart. There are Canadians all over the world, and this protection is guaranteed by the Charter. The same as there being Americans all over the world, Germans, French, British… you name it. It is the govt’s responsibility to protect their citizens.
And this is about CITIZENSHIP, not permanent residency. Not sure how in the world you managed to bring something so unrelated.
@12 98 They come here get their citizenship then take off. They don’t want to be Canadian they just want the benefits!
Yup. And I’ll bet they will complain it didn’t happen sooner.
Free healthcare and dental, they gotta love it.
It’s a sad situation
@12 98 Actually no, it is not the government’s function to protect its citizens while abroad. All the government can do is try to assist Canadians while they are abroad, but the Canadian government has no actual ability or method of protecting Canadian citizens.
She got 200 Canadians to pull out in time.
out of millions of citizens , americans and other nationalities still stuck in the chaos there
@Francois Lauzon I don’t think you caught my drift.
200 Sudanese evacuated from Sudan..
probably the family of ahmed hussain !
Joly is not foreign AFFAIRS minister because she is smart
We all know why, Trudeau’s squeeze
She can’t even think straight because she is heartbroken that she is not in NEW YORK WITH HER BOYFRIEND 💔.
That was great
shes a real woman, cant blame her… shes hot
Any ? That her recent miscarriage was T’s?
Little cockroach.
😂👍
FM Joly said due to airport issues, specifically small runways, the RCAF are unable to use C-17 Aircraft, however that is not true at all, the C-17 is a military aircraft, not a civilian airliner, it’s designed to land in combat environments where there might be not the most optimal runways. I literally watched a C-17 complete a full landing in just a few seconds and then it started moving backwards as it’s reverse thrusts are so powerful. C-17s don’t even need runways, as again, we are not talking about a Air Canada jetliner, a C-17 is capable of landing on dirt tracks and fields.
You managed to completely disregard runway length and aircraft weight + load. Bravo.
STAL for sure
They still need quite a bit of room to take-off (at least 3,500 feet) and it might not be worth the risk to endanger the aircraft.
Betcha those C17 are broken down.
@12 98 The government’s excuses are certainly a “load” well in excess of the C-17’s MTOW.
hypocritical
Say no to Government # No more Government
