Another Lebanon

There are 4,000 Canadians currently in Iran, desperately trying to get out.  My question is, why are they there?  Canada cut diplomatic ties with Iran 13 years ago, which means there is no embassy to help people get out.  So, again, why are they there?

They're there because, like the Lebanese, they get Canadian citizenships "of convenience", but keep their Iranian or Lebanese passports so they can promptly trot back to their home countries to live out their lives.  "My heart is in Iran," said one Canadian-trained doctor currently stuck there with his family.

Do you know how much Canadians subsidize a medical degree?  Thousands and thousands.  This doctor is now upset that Canada won't get him out.  Really?!  Just how much does this guy think struggling Canadians have to fork over for his own personal benefit?

This is what has happened in Lebanon over and over again.  Lebanese "Canadians" relocate to Lebanon and then demand passage out when the going gets rough.  Hitherto, Canada has airlifted them to the tune of millions.  This has to stop.  Hopefully, Iranians stuck there are not given the same free ride because we can't afford it.

(Bulletin, Bulletin, Bulletin!  Just heard that Canada -- i.e., you and me -- is now trying to get Iranians out.  Well, of course we are.  We are saps.)

Veterans are sleeping on the streets and Carney is handing Zelensky another $4.3 billion.  Billion!@%$%^@#$!%#$#^%^!  That's an outrage -- especially when you consider that there is no way Ukraine can win this personal war between Putin and Zelensky.  Listen to John Mearsheimer on YouTube.  That'll tell you what's going to happen there.  You can also get the truth from Victor Davis Hanson, also on YTube.

We have to get our own house in order, which is what Carney pledged to do during the election campaign.  That's now all out the window, as he adopts a totally new strategy both domestically and internationally.
