This movement showed the world what Canada is made of and our commitment to helping those in need. now recognized Every year our country becomes the envy of many others.
Are we losing this reputation?
When the Taliban recaptured Afghanistan in 2021, they needed to quickly release many Afghans who were working with Canadian diplomats and military personnel. Terrorists viewed as enemies those who cooperated with the hated Western nations. reliable murder reports by the Taliban.
Canada had more than a decade of military service in the country and benefited greatly from local support, so don’t you think the federal government should prioritize getting these people out? you would be wrong.
Conversely, the Trudeau government limp In this regard, it exposes Afghans to Taliban retaliatory punishment. Is this the way to treat people who couldn’t operate there without their help?
Getting worse.
Following a court ruling ordering the immediate repatriation of Canadian ISIS terrorists who ended up in Al Hol concentration camp in dire conditions (of course, if they hadn’t joined ISIS in the first place, they wouldn’t have known they were there). ), we seek to address the return of citizens who have made the conscious decision to join a vicious jihadist organization that has participated in unspeakable acts against many. includes the Yazidis, a “state” that terrorists viewed as apostates and therefore expendable.
