I can't stand whiners, especially whining and bitching while they are getting help. How is it that a country of 32 million people has 50 to 60,000 Canadians in Lebanon? You know why? Because the Liberal government didn't mind giving free citizenships to the Lebanese while they were having troubles in the 80's in the hopes that they would vote for them.
These people went back to Lebanon where they live and pay taxes there, and had children that don't even speak English, but now that they are in trouble it is the Canadian government, or better yet, the Canadian taxpayer who has to foot the bill.
Not only that, but I'm sure the Canadian government will provide them with housing, health care, living expenses, and every other necessity while they keep whining about how bad they are treated. Good Lord, they are getting out of this mess for free, and not one complaint is directed at Hezbollah. Go figure.
This is setting a bad precedent in Canadian politics. Next time, when Hong Kong, India, or Pakistan are in trouble, all they need to do is shout for free cruise ships to their rescue.

I agree with you. These folks can't fend for themselves for even a brief window. It's shameful, really.
Sorry that Canadian taxpayers will foot the bill - but we Americans foot the bill, too. So much of the world hates us, but when something goes wrong they stand around like fools waiting for us to do something (in many cases, save their necks).
No good deed goes unpunished.

I know, we are the world's 911.

These people stink. They take and take, but have no interest in giving back. Contempt often follows generosity, I am sad to report.
