Maryam Monsef, one of the more disappointing of Justin Trudeau’s cabinet appointments — and that’s saying a lot — draped herself in further glory on Wednesday, when, in an appeal to the Taliban for restraint during the ongoing evacuation flights from Kabul, she referred to them as “brothers.”...
Well, that oughta take care of that. A statement, in English, from a junior minister in a minority government from a marginally competent (at best) middle-power can’t help but be heard in the corridors of power around the world and especially in Kabul, where the Taliban is now consolidating its rule. Monsef’s remarks are Canadian soft power at its finest. Are we BACK or what?! ...
Frankly, this is as likely a trap by Monsef and the Liberals as it is a flub or cultural reference....After Monsef’s remarks went viral on Wednesday, one senior Tory told me, in genuine good cheer, “Oh, come on, like we’re gonna walk into that.” You could hear the eyes rolling in their sockets...
The American government seems hellbent on sticking to its withdrawal date of Aug. 31, which means that the civilian evacuation will actually end several days before that — the last flights out will be taken up by retreating troops and their equipment. There are unknown thousands of people still in Afghanistan who have earned the right to a safer life in Canada who’ll be left behind when the last allied flight takes off in the next few days — this is a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s no longer in doubt. They’ll be standing there on the tarmac with nowhere left to go but back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. One wonders if the Taliban will even let them back in or simply begin the killings at the terminal gates....
