When has any government moved in a speedy fashion?......on either side. If the hope here is that the CPC or Harper would have moved in a more timely fashion, I've got a goose that lays golden eggs for sale.

At some point the onus is on the applicant to put the paperwork in before 2 weeks in the hope that last ditch paperwork gets processed. It's only rationale that as the ink was drying on the treaty signed by that dufus Trump in late 2020 with the Taliban, the application should have started then, not 2 weeks ago. The Afghanis knew 5000 Taliban would be let out and the US was going to pull out in May. Where were the applications to leave in May even, or June, or July? Why wait til the last min when the plane is literally leaving Afghanistan.

If there are blame to go around, it's for partisan reasons that JT is single out in a country he had no involvement in........hello....Emperor Harper.........

Trudeau was caught completely flat-footed when people were trying to get out of Afghanistan - he doesn't "think" about pesky stuff like why our parliament should be in session during a crisis. He thinks about more important things:
Shut down Parliament for this garden-party of a useless election, and who cares what goes on in Afghanistan?
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/r ... d=msedgntp

Ah, but pretend there was nothing government could have done to expedite the government paperwork, and promise to accept 20,000 refugees, and it's all good - right?
The Brits returned to full session to pass a motion condemning the witlessness and carelessness of Joe Biden, and his decision to remove American troops from Afghanistan. They didn’t call it a She-vacuation. They called it “contemptible” and “shameful.” One Tory MP, obviously mincing his words, called it “catastrophic, cack-handed, cruel and humiliating … a watershed in the failure of the West.” And former prime minister Tony Blair thought that epic catalogue would be improved by adding “imbecilic.”

What’s your view? Do you agree with the Brits? Or do you hope to skate past the Afghanistan horror, and our unpreparedness, the plight of our stranded citizens and interpreter allies, because it might cast a slight gloom on some of the campaign meet and greet in Aurora or St. John’s?

Just a thought, do you plan a dedicated address to Canadian veterans of Afghanistan? Will this crisis have its own debate?
Oh, well, we'll take 20,000, and that'll make up for it...

NOT.

Our "brothers?"

HUH?

The Liberals are crawling into bed with the Taliban? Does Justin admire their basic dictatorship, too?

BREAKING: Trudeau's Gender Equality Minister refers to Taliban as 'our brothers'

Liberal Minister for Gender Equality Miryam Monsef referred to the Taliban as "our brothers" during a press conference on Wednesday.


Liberal Minister for Gender Equality Maryam Monsef referred to the Taliban as "our brothers" during a press conference providing updates on the situation in Afghanistan on Wednesday.

snip

The statement comes just one day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau changed his tone on dealing with the Taliban. While Trudeau initially said that Canada had no plans to recognize the Taliban, yesterday the prime minister said that there would be certain criteria that the terror group could meet to potentially be heard at an international level.

Someone should tell the Liberals that the Taliban are not our brothers, as minister Monsef just referred to them. :200:
Time to fly the Taliban flag on parliament hill?

Ministers in this government leave us shaking our heads.

That's called politics and diplomacy in trying to steer our enemies into not antagonize them as we negotiate more days to evacuate our Afghani allies.
While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made the point of calling the Taliban in Afghanistan a terrorist group, his minister for women and gender equality is calling the Taliban “our brothers.”

Maryam Monsef made the comments while speaking on a call with other ministers regarding the evacuation efforts in Afghanistan.

“I want to take this opportunity to speak to our brothers, the Taliban. We call on you to ensure the safe and secure passage of any individual in Afghanistan out of the country,” Monsef said.

“We call on you to immediately stop the violence. The genocide, the femicide, the destruction of infrastructure including heritage buildings.”

Monsef went on to call on the Taliban to return to the peace deal negotiated and to ensure women and minorities were part of that process.

Asked by a reporter during the news conference if the reference to “brothers” was a softening of the government’s position on the Taliban, Monsef said no.

“Hardly, the Taliban are a terrorist group and yet they claim to be Muslims,” Monsef said.

“The reference to brothers is a cultural reference of course but let me be very clear, we do not support the Taliban. We are horrified that the hard-won gains of the past 20 years are at stake,” Monsef said.

But nice effort to take it out of context and the usal smear tactics by another CPC lackey.

I think this is because Monsef is still pushing the lie that she was born in Afghanistan.

Since she is the Minister for Women, will she push to strip Afghanistan of their seat that gives the Taliban the right to have a seat at the "status of women" table?

Her story sounds believable to me....
Cabinet minister Maryam Monsef, who has frequently been touted as Canada's first Afghan-born member of Parliament, now concedes she was actually born in Iran.

Monsef, 31, says her mother told her of her true place of birth last week, after The Globe and Mail's Robert Fife inquired about her early life. Monsef had been under the impression that she was born in Afghanistan, although she did spend parts of her childhood living in Iran. She came to Canada as a refugee with her widowed mother and two younger sisters in 1996, after her mother fled Afghanistan to escape the Taliban.

The cabinet minister has often said she was born in Afghanistan, and news headlines frequently refer to her as the "Afghan-born MP."

In June, Robert Fife, then host of CTV’s Question Period, asked Monsef in an interview if she was born in Afghanistan.

"I believe I was," Monsef replied.

A lie would be knowingly telling all of Canada that someone was a broker and finding out he was just a helper to a broker.

This should answer the second part.........

“Hardly, the Taliban are a terrorist group and yet they claim to be Muslims,” Monsef said.

Speaking as a Cabinet Minister she called the Taliban terrorists just like her boss JT. Do you have anything else that says otherwise?

You're referring to Minister Monsef as "it"? There's not much to say after that, hey? Then again I guess that's being in that big ole tent of O'Toole's, he'll take anyone.

Nice attempt at digging her out of the honey wagon.

Monsef is not only Muslim but female. She should not have one good word for this band of power hungry, women hating scum.

When you speak as an MP and a Minister you speak for Canadians and not yourself. I dare say most Canadians do not consider this murderous horde our brothers.

Brothers? B. S.

And no, I am not a CPC lackey. Just a Canadian citizen concerned about our country being led down a woke pathway.
