I mean who was the idiot that evacuated the embassy, thus removing the ability to quickly process people on the ground.
There are a lot of stories of soldiers trying to help people and telling them that they would find someone to help with paperwork, only for that person not being there or never appearing to help the families. That's on immigration and foreign affairs.
Who refused to give the order for a week in terms of getting the air bridge started, so our special forces people and planes sat on the ground waiting for a go. That's on our defense minister who was too busy campaigning.
Who was the person that saw France and others going outside of the airport to find citizens and their families and escorting them through the gates of hell, and said, nope we're staying basically in the airport. Seems a waste of highly trained special forces soldiers and a lack of planning. that's on the CDS and DM.
When Trudeau should have been doing the right thing, and maybe recalling parliment for an emergency session on this or setting up a proper working group, he continued on with his campaigning.
Our response to this and our slowness on things when veterans groups were desparately trying to get people out and communicating with these poor people while screaming at the government. And when the opposition leader is writing letters to the PM and other departments in July screaming that bad #### was going down and its time to get moving. Well that's on the PM who as the senior leader of the government should have been coordinating departments and kicking their asses into high gear. But then again Justin doesn't see that as a role. He sees himself as more of a Social Worker in government meetings.
The people in immigration who came up with the utterly stupid and not thought out plan that involved massive forms and an internet requirement in a company with next to no internet availability, and maybe trying to stay alive, and when they did find a way to sign onto the portal only to find it buggy and constantly crashing. You aholes should all be fired as well as the minister.
The Soldiers are a victim in this as well. As much as they tried to help, they were hamstrung by this governments outright laziness and stupidity.

you know I wasn't taking a shot at those on the ground, right?
