Canada's shame

Here's a couple of stories from non-Canuck media that hint we may not be the punch-above-our-weight powerhouse we've been led to believe.

Apparently the leader of that indispensable ally we strive to suck up to the most, Mr. Biden, was too busy last week to answer Justin's phone calls. So instead, PM Fluffy called up Hillary Clinton for guidance. Perhaps not so bad - there's plenty of rumours out there that she's the one pulling Joe's strings anyway, so why not go straight to the top?

At least our military was finally able to get a plane-load of 188 collaborators out of Kabul. That's our first flight out. All our allies have managed multiple flights. The US has done at least seventeen before we did our first.

And what up with only 188 passengers on that C-17, when there's tens of thousands of Afghans desperate to get out? Check out this headline from Air Force Magazine; Kabul evacuation flight sets C-17 record with 823 aboard. 

Well, turns out there's only seat-belts for 188...

Ain't that so Canadian!
