Erin O'Toole wrote Foreign Affairs in 2016 telling them they had to start getting these people out.

The Veterans of Afghanistan has been working at getting people out with their own money. People in those circles and I'm sure Intelligence were probably screaming when Biden took office and when he announced the withdraw time line.

The Veterans lost their collective minds a while ago when they were getting zero help from the government and spending their own money to evacuate Interpreters

The government didn't spring into action until we saw the speed of the Taliban, and by spring into action Immigration and Foreign affairs got their feet tangled in stupidity and fell down a flight of stairs.

Then with the election call while this was going going on. Canadian assets were literally sitting on the ground in Kuwait for another week waiting for some direction from the government.

We can't simply say, well we had no warning. Especially while nothing was really done except a stupid 72 hour window, a non functioning portal for people to do paper work in triplicate on line in a company with little to no internet. And Paperwork that doesn't seem to be getting people through the Gates of Hell.

I would have gained respect for the government if during this campaign Justin would have recalled parliament, formed a working group or something. Instead he came out and basically couched.
