A few years ago, a serious flood hit Lebanon and all the ‘Canadian’ citizens demanded to know where ‘their’ government was to save them. It was incredible.
The West is such a patsy.
Unbelievable. (But I do believe you)
I am somewhat rusty on the past event, even as a Canadian citizen. I did, as an expatriate from the UK, remember this. In 2006 the Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalated in the Lebanon. The British sent five warships to evacuate "British citizens". It was estimated between 10,000 and 12,000 persons were at risk.
About 4,000 were taken to safety, first to Cyprus. Most collecting pension payments from the UK. I presume as you mention Canada pays the same overseas payments. What a racket! I get a pension also from the UK. Ain't complaining, but it is $130 per month.
