Lebanon, a complete disaster. Frankly, I thought Greece was the worst non-country in the world, but South Africa takes the cake with an unemployment rate of 30.1%! Boy, they've done well in the thirty-odd years since the African National Congress took over. (And don't get me started on the latest COVID funding scandals in the government of Cyril Ramaphosa.)
But, back to Lebanon. Please tell me why more than 300,000 "Canadians" are living in Lebanon? I'll tell you why, because the Lebanese come to Canada, get citizenship and then bugger off back to live in Lebanon. They get Canadian citizenship so they can demand planes be sent to fly them "home" whenever there is a crisis in that corrupt and hopeless country. This has happened and relatively recently. Frankly, Canada should not permit dual citizenship under any circumstances, but we do.
So, here we have criminals and brigands running Lebanon and allowing thousands of tons of explosives to sit in unsafe warehouses for three years just waiting to go off. How does that happen?! Corruption and graft, that's how. And now you watch, they'll be braying for "assistance", which means money and probably more free plane rides, from beleaguered Canadians and Trudeau is handing it over! Hey fellas, we don't have the money!
If you want to find out what's going on in the world, read the economic tables in 'The Economist'. It's all there. In terms of unemployment, as I said, South Africa takes the cake. Others follow:
Columbia 21.4%
Philippines 17.7%
Greece 15.5%
Spain 14.5%, and right up there.....
Canada 12.3% !!!!!
Haven't we done well since we foolishly kicked Harper to the curb!
