Now, 17,000 Lebanese with dual citizenship -- i.e., Canadian citizens of convenience -- have registered to be evacuated out of Lebanon at the expense of you and me.
The last time this happened was in 2006, during the Hezbollah/Israeli war, when 15,000 were flown out to the tune of $100 million!!!
This is unconscionable. Why should the rest of us pay for Lebanese/"fake Canadians" to be flown out of their chosen homeland?! This is wrong on so many levels, but Bill Blair -- our hapless minister of defence -- said we'll be ready to get them out.

Why?! Why did they all run back there after the 2006 danger subsided? Because they're not Canadian at all. They're Lebanese through-and-through and should suffer the consequences of deciding to leave Canada for a dangerous powder keg of a country right next to Israel. The people wanting to be flown back are not tourists, by the way. They own homes and businesses and reside there fulltime.
According to Canada's ambassador to Lebanon, "This will be the largest evacuation in Canada's history." And the most expensive!
They should all have had return tickets in their pockets for just such a situation. But no, they're again demanding Canadians pay for their stupidity. You watch, no sooner will we fly them back than they will all return again.
We are such suckers.
