I might be contradicting what I said earlier, but I'm excited about moving back to Vancouver. Just looking forward to going back to school, possibly start new job, friends and surgery. Want to get the bloody operation over with.
Starting to get sick of the criticisms on the government's slow response to evacuating Canadians out of Lebanon. Evacuation of 40,000 Canadians out of Lebanon finally got started today, a day after 800 French and Germans have left and roughly 300 out of 25,000 Americans evacuated. Sure, 8 Canadians have died as a result of the conflict, but that was at the start of the war and many Canadians have moved closer to the embassy. Israel has even apologized personally to Harper about this accident. Surely most Canadians stuck there have now congregated near the embassy, or near ports... what are your chances of being bombed?
Just think of other nationals such as Nepalese, Sri Lankans or one of the 34,000 Philippines hiding in Catholic convents with no way out. The fact is many other nationals are still waiting for their government to help them.
I rather have a government a day slow than a citizen of other nations in the planning stages. Just be thankful you're a Canadian with a resourceful government.
But of course it is easier for me to tell people to stop complaining when I'm safe in the north, away from most metropolitan areas.
