Humanitarian groups furious over Trudeau doing little to help Afghans who helped us

“If you watch CBC, you’ll see our dear prime minister tell the Canadian public what the government of Canada won’t be able to do. This is just a total load of BS,” says Clayton, who has been working to get dozens of people in Afghanistan out before they are slaughtered by the Taliban....

“They can’t get to the airport,” says Clayton, who adds this person and their family sent him a video clip of the road to the airport, jammed with people on foot with gunfire ringing out....

“We’ve got a government that’s in the middle of an election that they didn’t need to call with a problem of very significant importance and we have people who are asleep at the switch, or on the campaign trail and not doing their freaking jobs.”

“It’s so frustrating and I’m just so angry because this was so preventable. Our whole focus right now is getting as many people as possible out alive,” said Oates via a Zoom call....

“The one thing standing between them and leaving is a letter from IRCC, from Immigration, that page says they have permission to travel. We need a one-page letter, permission to travel and we can’t get that issued....

Oates has spoken with government officials and said: “I know there’s no political will, I know as I’m saying this in your mind, you’re saying, ‘Impossible,’ but this is like the precursor to Rwanda or Bosnia. If we don’t get this right, this is going to be a bloodbath and later everyone will say, ‘We should have done everything we could.’ No one will say, ‘Oh, well, it wasn’t politically expedient, there was no appetite to re-engage in combat or airstrikes, or it’s hard getting people to the airport.'”....

Another example of Justin Trudeau's sheer incompetence.

Canada lets in about 50-100,000 immigrants every year anyways, but couldn't be bothered helping 6000 Afghans who helped Canadian troops & diplomats over the last 20 years??

If they all say they will vote Liberal, I’m sure Princess Justine Castro will bend over backwards to help them.

Not one of those 800 Afghans we flew to safety brought an American with them to the airport to help them escape.

Most of them not only did NOT bring an American - they were unvetted.

And they left their wives and children and flew to safety and the US gravy train without them.

Who are they? Taliban? Spies? Paki agents?

Activist Imam Fundraising For Afghan Refugees Spoke With
VA DEMOCRAT GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TERRY McAULIFFE
Discussed ‘Good Purpose’ Of 9/11, Hosted Holocaust Denier
National File ^ | Aug 20 | PATRICK HOWLEY

As refugees from Afghanistan pour into the Fort Lee U.S. military base in Virginia, an imam named Ammar Amonette is leading the fundraising drive for the Afghan refugees. Ammar Amonette, Imam of the Islamic Center of Virginia, is a left-wing activist who has spoken alongside Democrat then-Governor Terry McAuliffe, worked with the state’s Democrat attorney general to push hate crime legislation, held a press conference with Democrat Senator Mark Warner, and protested President Donald Trump’s travel ban on terrorism-rich countries.

In a 2004 interview unearthed by NATIONAL FILE, Amonette discussed the 9/11 attackers, saying, “Terrorism is about symbolic targets. It’s sending a political message. The World Trade Center sounds in Arabic like ‘center for globalization.’ I think they took it literally, and globalism may be a threat. But in Islamic law, even if you have a good purpose or goal, you have to follow the rules.” Amonette previously served as imam of the Colorado Muslim Society which, during his tenure, hosted an event with then-Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine Ekrima Sabry, who has said that it is a “fairytale” that six million Jews died in the Holocaust.

Ammar Amonette’s Islamic Center of Virginia is raising money and supplies for the Afghan refugees at Fort Lee. DiscoveringIslam.org describes Michigan-born Amonette as “an American Islamic scholar who is a convert to Islam. He spent 12 years studying in Saudi Arabia. He initially studied at Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. He later earned a Masters at the Graduate Institute for Preparation of Imams in Mecca.” Amonette’s efforts to help the migrants was profiled this week by CBS 6 Richmond in which he stated that “It’s going to be a long process and it’s only beginning” and said “a new plane is arriving every day” to take refugees to Fort Lee.

The answer to your question is Xi Jinping through his well paid assistants XiJinBiden and Justin(e) True-dope and a cast of hundreds of thousands of other traitors. PDJT called them the ‘Deep State’. The ChiComs aren’t stupid. We send our manufacturing over there, then buy those products with our hard currency. Our gubmints then finance things like ‘diversity training through monies BORROWED FRON the ChiComs. Since they have so much hard currency, they BUY OFF EVERYONE they need to, and it is in the hundreds ot thousands of ‘bought’ apparatchiks, in the US and Canada.

I wouldn’t mind mere incompetence too much, but the sheer arrogance of the Prime Mistake of Kanadahar just floors me.

I cannot even watch the news any more (even Rebel or Western Standard) if they show video of that communist groper. When I see him on my TV, I am almost ready to pitch something at the TV.

Given that Erin the Tool has chosen once again, to throw Alberta under the bus, and Premier ‘Justin’ Kenney seems to treat his Premiership as merely a stepping stone to Prime Ministership of Canada, I am voting Maverick this election. Will my Constituency go Maverick? 99% chance of ‘NO’, but it sends a message to d’Ottawa AND Edmonton.

BTW, note my tagline. (Just call me Cato.)
