The Afghan veterans have been screaming at the government for longer then that, they finally started spending money of their own to get them out. They finally blew a few and went to the press, and the Liberal's dithered then created an absolutely stupid strategy that was basically an on line portal to apply and gave them a 72 hour deadline, in a country with very little in the way of computers or internet access, and people too busy trying to flee and survive to find a internet cafe.
Then the Liberals finally sent planes over and three planes (iirc) came back one half filled the rest filled but it was embassy staffers and their family, very little in the way of interpreters and others who aided the CAF.
Now the Embassy is closed, there aren't any planes heading over and the routes to the air field is being cut off and there's no embassy staff to process them.
The government through inaction, and stupidly holds the bag on this one.
Why would anyone trust the Canadian government on this stuff again.
I also doubt that the American's are going to help the Liberals bail themselves out on this one.
