It's not. Turns out I am not the only one who can't figure out what the h-ll Canadians are doing paying for people to get out of the latest war zone: Libya. Read an excellent and factual article in today's paper by David B. Harris, a guy with 30 years' experience in the intelligence world, including CSIS by the way. He reminded us that all the "Canadians of convenience" (what did I tell you a while ago about people coming here because it's easy to get a passport) now screaming to get out were there by choice, making lots of dough. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances, or in the case of everyone over there enjoying whatever they are enjoying, Ya makes lots of money and ya takes yer chances. Mr. Harris notes:
"Is it unfair to suggest that Canadians there on business -- including the oil business -- were making generous salaries in part because of the risks of being in Libya?" No it's not. "Libya has been a notoriously brutal, torturing and terr0r-supporting dictatorship. As for any tourists: could they really have failed to realize that they were swanning through a country-sized prison camp and torture chamber?" Get real people. If you want to work in dangerous places and get danger pay, foot your own exit bill.
Remember Lebanon a few years ago? Canadians paid..........wait for it.........here it comes...........$85 million to haul 15,000 "Lebanese" Canadians (with the emphasis on the "Lebanese") back to Canada. And..........wait for it again..........more than half of them all rushed back when the crisis subsided! I guess we should be grateful they didn't ask us to pay for their return flights! Not only does Canada protect its citizens while we live here, it also has to protect them when they choose to live in war zones. Whaaaaaa??!%$??^?
What's wrong with us??
