Why do the so called Lebanon Canadians only want to be Canadian when there is trouble in Lebanon?

[jccarriere]

It's not the responsibility of Government, to bring Canadians back. They've been warn to leave a long time ago!

[Grimshire]

Defence Minister Bill Blair is not a capable minister.

[Moggle]

Why is it up to tax payers to get these fools out?

[sean]

They're just passport holders for health care. How desperate is that.

[albay]

so my family suppose to pay for someone who's not interested to be Canadian.

There’s no way there are 20, 000 real Canadian vacationers currently in Lebanon 😀

[bob-pxj]

Take a poll and ask how many want to foot the bill...

[davidmack]

Lol prepared? What a joke. Just leave them there . We dont want anyone from there here anyway

[Freezerburn]

Leave them there. They chose to go there and stay. Let them deal with it. Canadians of convenience

[Timberland]

By prepared does that mean prepared to do nothing? Trudeau will babble and no one will listen as usual. The so called Canadians in Lebanon are home and don’t want to leave their home. Having a Canadian passport doesn’t make a person Canadian.

This MND is a joke! Big talker but not so much a doer. Hire someone who is qualified to be MND! The military would be better off.

[JNO_JNO]

They cant just be Canadians or Australians when it suits them.

[Harbinger]

How many of those came to Canada as a refugees and gained permanent residency and eventually citizenship after claiming that Lebanon was far too dangerous for them to return to? And of those, how many immediately took a vacation back to Lebanon after gaining permanent residency? A lot of them, would be my educated guess.

Bill Blair you should be in jail for the rest of your life..

[kayak]

can you imagine depending on this government for anything let alone your safety in another country

[blondelynne]

Bill Blair needs to go! Our military is awful, I watched a documentary today!

[Carlos-ryxc]

2016 here we go Again millions to evacuate "Canadian's" who don't have an address who haven't been in Canada for year's 😂

[jccarriere]

You have had months of warnings that this is coming. You stay anyways, your problem. Not Government!

[ianleslie]

Don't worry Bill, be as effective as you are usually are. But keep the troops out of harms way for an ill thought out demand.
