I suppose you should break your comments down and look at them a little more closely:
Pretty hard to do, when he kicked all the Press off the plane in Paris, and would not even allow one Journalist to accompany his party to Cyprus. On his arrival in Cyprus, he has remained on his plane, as there was no accommodations immediately available to him......Not much of chance for a Photo op there.chaos75 said:IMO this is Harper taking advantage of the situation for a photo op.
And you could have done better with all the resources of the US or France, who have 'Resources' in the vicinity......yada....yada....yada. Can you book me a hotel and transportation for my trip to visit you tonight?chaos75 said:He could care less about the people stranded over there, hence Canada being one of the last governments to organize an evacuation.
He has more seats than that on the plane. There are probably enough seats for 90% of the first load to arrive in Cyprus, while other aircraft are on the way. I also guess that your Lebanese prominent and influential friends all have names that are first in alphabetical order......and the further back in the alphabet your name starts with, the less prominent or influential you are. Come on, the first out of Lebanon were the first in alphabetical order. I am sure that all of them are not in any way 'prominent'. What brownie points would you give him there?chaos75 said:Like giving up the room for 50 or so people on his plane is this grand gesture, I wonder who the people will be, likely some prominent or influential members of the Lebanese community so he can score brownie points there too.
I think he is treating them all equally. Perhaps your friend or relative isn't on the first out, and if that is the case - Get Stuffed. As for flights and ships, perhaps you should blame the Liberals for not buying those for us ten years ago. :chaos75 said:PM should have treated them all equally, got flights and ships booked days before he did, and flew himself back home to work on all the million other issues going on in the world right now.
At the start of your tirade, you want him to take action, then you go on to complain he isn't back home working on all the million other issues going on in the world today. Make up your mind. Is he the head of the UN, or the Prime Minister of Canada?
AH! YES! THE GRATUITOUS ANTI-AMERICAN RANT. I guess I wasted my time with your post after all.chaos75 said:Oh wait, he is too busy crouched beside Bush at the oval office getting scratched behind the ear.
