This country has given them a second chance when it acceptem them to imigrate here, made them citezens...and they left, and now...THEY ARE THE ONES STILL BITCHING??? i would drop them off in the Mediteranean Sea if you asked me...lol |
myself and others in this thread firmly believe that this complaining thing has been blown out of proportions by the (english) medias because they suck Harper balls who is pro-israeli.
The silent majority is grateful. |

Hmmm. Well watching all the coverage and listening to people rant or rave makes me feel proud.
Proud that I live in a country that felt obligated to help its citizens when a crazy situation developed almost overnight.
Proud that nobody questioned whether there were only "certain" Canadians who were eligible to receive this help, but instead felt that everyone deserved to be aided.
Proud that whether a person could afford to pay for this help or not did not affect their ability to get out of a dangerous position.
Proud that as a nation, we allow our citizens to travel, work - and live - in another place as a matter or course without questioning whether they are still Canadian citizens.
Proud that hundreds of Canadian employees worked their asses off under extreme circumstances to make sure that any Canadian who needed assistance was able to get it.
Yes some people complained. They were under intense stress, were fearful for their very lives - and the lives of their family and friends. And they were forced as a matter of circumstance to endure what had to be a very tough ordeal; both physically and emotionally. I probably would have lashed out in some way too.
But.
I'm proud that I live in a country where I am allowed to complain sometimes, and to voice frustrations sometimes, and wish my goverment handled things differently sometimes.
I guess I am just proud. |

Asking for a bit of food and water, a place to stay or whatever...Canada is not obligated to give them such...but yes I believe that it's the right thing to do and to help our people.
