Evacuation SNAFUs Continue

Is a ship being sent Monday to Tyre, the most dangerous hotspot in the south of the country, to rescue Canadians stranded in the heavy bombardment by Israeli forces?

Depends on who you ask, according to the TO Star. Canada’s ambassador to Lebanon, Louis de Lorimier, told reporters in Beirut that this was the case, only to be shot down by the Foreign Affairs Department, who claimed that the ambassador's statement had been “premature”, and that no ship would be dispatched on Monday.

Guess you missed the poll yesterday showing Canadians support the government's efforts - too bad for you, eh?

I guess everyone remembers the fabulous job you guys did get DART to Thailand after the tsunami -took what - months?

Oh and good thing you opposed strategic airlift - yes, clearly no need for that!

Actually, the DART mission to Thailand went fine. See post below.
