It’s been one year since Kabul fell to the Taliban after American and allied troops — including Canadians — left the country.
Video footage showed Afghans streaming onto the tarmac at the Kabul airport, desperate to escape, as a U.S. air force plane took off. Some fell to their death trying to hold on.
“We watched that terrible situation unfold … we saw that tremendous catastrophe that happened in Kabul,” said Brian Macdonald.
While Canada certainly shoulders some of the blame for the Afghan debacle the deal was only to assist those who helped our efforts directly i.e. Interpreters and not massive numbers of refugees ill-suited to our culture.
