As Canada is now "Hotel Canada" and as it seems that many of those that ask Canada for help have terrorist connections, it is too easy to say that Canada should protect all Canadians living or travelling abroad. Yes, Suuag Mohammud should have been helped. However if so many of her former countrymen hadn't illegally tried to enter Canada, the reactions of our consulate would undoubtedly have been different. Should we have helped the ungrateful Lebanese Canadians who have since returned to their true homes in Lebanon? Should we help Khadr who will likely end up being a terrorist? Should we help anyone who has terrorist connections? Our first obligation is to ourselves, not to Canadians who are likely only Canadians of convenience or whose object is to one way or the other bring conflict to Canada.
There is a new situation in Canada calling for a new policy on immigration and defending our citizens who travel abroad.
