The unpardonable sins of 2021 and the Afghans who suffer because of them
There are 40 million people now enslaved by the Taliban in Afghanistan — people who believed in us, trusted us and were betrayed by us
Sajjan has angrily denied that he told Canadian special operations forces to launch what turned out to be a failed rescue operation — the Sikhs had returned to Kabul before the Special Operations team could get to them. Whether this was even a rescue effort, as such, has been disputed.
Sajjan has resorted to the predictably unconvincing Liberal habit of alleging a racist motive behind the shocking headlines. Just as predictably, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dismissed out of hand any suggestion that Sajjan should be fired from his current post as emergency preparedness minister. In the parochial Canadian way of such scandals, the script writes itself.
