Canadian citizens and permanent residents are stranded in Sudan, and Canada is doing nothing to help them. It's like Afghanistan, where we abandon our own citizens in the midst of war and leave them to the mercy of warlords and warlords.

00:00:00.000 Speaking of serving people poorly, here's another one we're hearing about. Of course, the horrors in Sudan is going bad over there. And people are trying to escape. They're trying to get out. It's awful. And yet again, this looks just like Canada in Afghanistan. When we knew it was coming, we had the warnings, we had the rumblings. We have Canadian citizens and permanent residents over in the area that's breaking out in war. And we aren't evacuating and we abandoned them. We left them. 0.68
00:00:28.220 You know, the ambassador is always hightailing it out pretty darn fast in a luxury jet. But the people on the ground are screwed. And in Sudan, that's what's happening right now. So yeah, the big news, an additional 50 were evacuated out the other day. 50. You know, how is it that Calgary can ship 2,000 people a day down to Mexico for vacations from the airport, but it's impossible to get more than 50 people a day out of Sudan? Is it that hard to get a jet out there? 0.97
00:00:52.640 And in fact, it turns out most of those got out from the planes and boats of other countries. Canada didn't even help them. The Canadians. Yeah, embarrassing. We can't we don't have the hardware. We don't have the military ability to save the Canadians or permanent registered residents were there. There's 1800 Canadian citizens over there. And 700 of them have said, please help me get out of here. 0.88
00:01:17.640 And we can't. And we can't. Because we are a country that's too inept and full of vain naval gazing with a prime minister in love with himself and forgetting his actual duties to citizens overseas.
00:01:28.640 And now they're stranded over there. And let's hope there's not more tragedy in Afghanistan with our allies, the people who helped us out out there. We abandoned them. We left them. Again, the ambassador got out fast enough. But they were left to the warlords and terrible Taliban punishments they were going to get for having cooperated with Canada. What an embarrassment as a nation. You know, we used to be such a proud nation in a lot of ways. And look what we're down to now. 0.89
