I think this says exactly that: "The vast majority of the "Canadians" being evacuated are repatriated Lebanese who never had plans to ever come back to Canada. We really don't owe them anything." Surely even you can recognize that it suggests some Canadian citizens should have fewer rights than others.[/quote]

Then you have to round up ships to come to the area and let me tell you these ships don't have warp drives to get them there in a few minutes. Where talking days. So walla. There is your 6 days it took to get the first people out.
All I expect is for my country to act at least as quickly as the other countries evacuating there citizens. I'd also expect them to have a plan.

You don't know me you twit, so don't pretend you do. I'm exactly the opposite of what you suggest. No one is prouder to be a Canadian than I am. One of the great things about being Canadian is that I am entitled to disagree with the government or government policy and to voice my opinion. I KNOW you're not a Bush supporter but I think you agree with his Party's opinion that any who criticizes their government is unpatriotic. Far from it. Some people just have higher expectations.
